What about Open Beta? When does that start?

At this time, we are not revealing details on Open Beta. However, if you purchase a Hero's Pack or Starter Pack for Swordsman, you'll get early access into Open Beta! We'll reveal more Open Beta details soon as we move into Closed Beta.


Will there be a character wipe at the end of Closed Beta?

Yes, all characters and progress will be wiped at the end of Closed Beta to ensure everyone has a fresh start for Open Beta.


If I played during Alpha, are my characters still there?

Yes, all progress and characters from Alpha will carry over into Closed Beta.


Can I try out the Marketplace and make cash shop purchases during Closed Beta?

We'll reveal more details about the Marketplace soon.


I just purchased a Hero's Pack or Starter Pack. Where is my Beta key?

Please contact our Support Team regarding this issue and they will assist you.


I registered for Closed Beta, but I still don't have a Beta key! How do I get one? Closed Beta already started.
