9Dragons pre-open beta now live!
December 2006
Hi,
Thank you all for your patience! It has been much harder than we expected to get the changes made and the game back up and running. We really didn't want to come back on line until we were sure that we had fixed the major bugs we could see. (I'm sure you'll still find a load of minor ones - please tell us so that we can fix them.)
Still, the good news is that we are now back up and live and in our pre-open beta stage! Barring unforeseen circumstances we do not expect to have to wipe the characters again.
Beta Testing Schedule
Let's confirm the pre-open beta process:
- Servers came back online on 26th Dec at 16:00 BST
- You can log on to play and set up your new characters. There will be no further wipes (unless there are some major unforeseen problems)
- Mid January 2007- OPEN BETA BEGINS
- Open starts and there will be a patch with more additions to the game such as PK, F1 help system, a tutorial system and various other patches and game improvements
SPARE KEY GIFT
We want to thank you for your patience while we have been offline. As this is the season of goodwill and gifts, we thought that we would offer you a spare key for 9Dragons. That way you can invite a friend to join you, or create other characters so that you can play other clans. It's our way of saying thanks.
Your spare key is : le con j'avais mis ma clef
