Why Early Access?

“Astonia Reborn is entering Early Access to test network stability and server load as we increase player capacity. We will also be using this time to ensure character classes and the economy is appropriately balanced.

Our secondary aim is to monitor the game for any issues that may not have been encountered during alpha testing. We may also use this time to revise content and maps, depending on player feedback.

We have plenty of content/maps/systems planned and/or in development already and we will be involving the community to have a say before/during development to make this old gem great again.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to be in Early Access until New Client has been polished.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version of Astonia Reborn is a near-complete base game.

One of our main focuses will be Client Development which is already in full swing.

Character class skills may be slightly altered as we observe combat and receive comments from the community during the Early Access phase, and are unlikely to be altered when the game is fully released.

There are currently plans for future additions, that will include level expansions, more quest areas, more PvP options, and more group activities for clans and friends. The time scale on these additions is yet to be decided, and any development progress will be shared with the community to gauge interest and receive feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Astonia Reborn is currently a complete base game, including 5 classes, 150+ quests, many gear and build options, attributes, skills, professions, clans (guilds), and clan-based PvP.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Astonia Reborn will continue to stay free to play.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will be using the Steam forums as a way of allowing our community to inform us of any suggestions or ideas they have that may improve current game play, or build on to the game in the future. We also aim to be present within the game to allow for informal chats about any suggestions or changes and just general chat with Developers and the community.

After the Early Access phase, we will proceed with the new content we have planned and will use Steam, Facebook, and Twitter to discuss and preview these developments. This will allow for players to give initial feedback, and have a say in the future of the game.”
