Phase II testing is an extremely early testing phase, and frankly, it's not much fun. There is very little of the game to actually play at the moment, so we really appreciate the testers who are testing and contributing at this point.

During Phase II testing, fundamental design systems have already been made, but fleshing out the systems determines heavily on player testing and player suggestions.

What are you guys testing?

    1. Does the game lore give you enough to begin and inspire your role play.
    2. What additional lore is needed to help enrich the role play environment.
