Crowfall open beta info & alpha videos

[JamesGoblin]

The game (a kind of MMO RTS, or, say - it's IGN Wiki (http://www.ign.com/wikis/crowfall)) is in alpha, and open beta (free tests) is announced for summer 2017. Alpha access is kinda expensive, but simple registration on the site (https://crowfall.com/en/register/) gives open beta access.

I don't remember hearing direct negative stance on multiboxing, but there will be collison detection, full physics, strong server-side control and friendly fire - latter at least on some servers.

Another very important detail is - after death, one doesn't just respawn, but rather has to fly (as crow-spirit) and find new body, unless there is a corpse and/or alive friends nearby. Exact details of death mechanics are still in flux, but frequent changes of sex/race/class might end up happening frequently; Also, bodies can be crafted and carried in inventory (!)

Here is couple player made videos:

Couple days ago, they started slowly inviting beta 1 backers - in order of backing (earlier backers go first).
