What’s in this test?

The new crafting and clan system. Caravan raids. Dozens of other new features and hundreds of improvements. Read the patch notes for a list of our most recent changes. There are also a lot of other tweaks to be made which we’ll release in the week before the test.

This round of testing is, as noted above, limited to participants from US-based clans that have signed up for it, as well as the game’s development supporters. A select number of solo players will also be admitted to the test; check out the news post for full details.

And yes, there will be a European-focused test in the near future; the date will be set once Fairytale Distillery complete this test and evaluate its results.
