Avalon Lords Alpha Testing Begins November 2nd

Previously, testing was announced to be happening early this month. It seems that won't be happening. It won't be that long of a wait, though! Animus Interactive announced earlier this month that their upcoming MMORTS Avalon Lords will enter Public Alpha Testing on November 2nd. An Internal Alpha Testing phase will occur a month before that, on October 2nd.

In even better news, while it was previously announced that the alpha test would revolve solely around combat, it no longer will. In addition to combat, players will get the chance to play the city building and resource collection parts of the game during alpha. Combat will have the option to play up to 4v4. Leaderboards and economy management will be available. Most importantly, perhaps, the game will be "truly not pay 2 win."

Another interesting note is that the game will have a monthly fee but that fee will be "abolished" for those who join during the alpha testing phase. After paying the one-time fee of $19.99, you will never have to pay again. If you're even slightly interested in the game, it seems that the alpha is the time to pay for your copy.

As stated above, the alpha will be available on November 2nd. Thanks to being greenlit, the alpha will be available exclusively through Steam. PC, Mac, and Linux clients will all be made available.
