A NEW
"MMORPG" BEGINNING
Hey everyone! This blog post will serve as a "reset button" on our blogs in general, as we have underwent some significant changes behind the scenes of the network, and as a result much of the information found in previous blog posts has become quite outdated. This post will be short and to the point, primarily just detailing how we plan to proceed with the Closed Beta of our very first (and Rust's first) full "MMORPG" Server titled MMORPG LITE.

MMORPG LITE
MMORPG LITE CLOSED BETA
Firstly, as stipulated above, the MMORPG LITE Closed Beta will be beginning tomorrow, Thursday, October 1st. Below you will find information on what it will entail, roughly how long it will last, and how you can participate.
CLOSED BETA SCHEDULE
Thursday, October 1st / 12 PM EST to 3 PM EST / - Forced Wipe "Anti-Wipe" Test
With this test we will specifically be putting our anti-wipe plugin through its paces. It is integral that we do this test on a forced wipe, as that is how the plugin will be used in practice once the server is live, and therefore provides the most accuracy as to what we still have to fine-tune.
Monday, October 5th / 6 PM EST / - "Permanent" Closed Beta Server Opens
The upcoming Monday, we will be opening the Closed Beta Server for all testers, and plan to keep it available 24/7 for the entire duration of the Closed Beta, except for minor downtimes for updates.
The server will have features selectively enabled and disabled as we aim to test many different aspects of the server in a compartmentalized fashion. Over time, more and more features will be enabled simultaneously, eventually culminating in a game-state that will mirror the live server launch.
Each time new features are enabled, they will be announced in advance and in detail to make testers aware of what to look out for and provide feedback on.
Finally, while we don't have a concrete date for how long the Closed Beta will run, as that directly depends on the progress during the beta itself - we roughly estimate it to take the better part of October. On November 5th, we will do one final test of our anti-wipe plugin to make sure it's working as smoothly as possible, and then plan to launch Open Beta shortly thereafter.
Open Beta, as the name suggests, will be open to everyone. More details to follow, though we expect the Open Beta to essentially serve as our launch, and don't expect there to be any kind of wipe between the Open Beta and Full Launch - but exact details will be given later once that decision is concretely made.
JOINING THE CLOSED BETA
In addition to access to the permanently available MMORPG LITE Closed Beta Server, Closed Beta Testers will be given a custom Discord Role, and be granted access to the private Closed Beta section of the Discord, where all Closed Beta discussion, announcements, feedback, and so on will take place.
