DARKEDEN CLASSIC — OPEN PLAY TEST

The first open play test of Darkeden Classic starts this Saturday, 10 October, at 12:00 noon UK time, and runs until Monday, 12 October, at 12:00 noon UK time.

Start time around the world:
• 11:00 am UTC
• 1:00 pm Central Europe
• 7:00 pm Beijing
• 7:00 am New York

Account creation and the client download open one hour earlier, at 11:00 am UK time on Saturday, so you can be ready when the server opens.

WHAT IT IS
Darkeden Classic is the early game as it was around 2004: two races, Slayers and Vampires, the original holy land and the race war. This is a test. We want to see how the server holds up with real players and to find what is broken.

RATES FOR THE PLAY TEST
• Experience: 5×
• Item drops: 2×
These are test rates only, so that you can see more of the game in three days. The official server will run at 1×.

WHAT TO EXPECT
• Things will go wrong. There may be crashes, restarts and bugs.
• Characters and items may be wiped during or after the test.

HOW TO JOIN (from 11:00 am UK time on Saturday)
1. Make an account at https://darkeden.oldgaming.net
2. Download the client: [GOOGLE DRIVE LINK]
3. Run the installer, then start the game from the Darkeden Classic shortcut. The launcher keeps the game up to date by itself.

A Chinese-language client is also available: [CHINESE CLIENT LINK]

FOUND A BUG?
Tell us in the bug-reports channel on Discord: https://discord.gg/gg7YVdEzs3
Say what you were doing, where, and your character name. If the game closes by itself, send the file DarkEden.log from your game folder.

See you in Eslania.
