This game is pre-alpha, and you'll either have to back at a fairly high tier to have access to Alpha 1. However Kingdoms of Elyria and ElyriaMUD will be launched fairly soon, which will allow you to take part in a pre-gameplay events along with the kingdom/noble house you choose to align with.

But if you're wanting a game to buy and jump straight in to, then you'll be in for a bit of a wait.

Currently the game is Pre-Alpha, there is nothing to play

I suggest you read here about the Experiences that will be coming at some point this year: Pre-Alpha Experiences

as to wipes. Once the game reaches exposition (3 months before official launch). there will be no more wipes.

During Alpha\Beta there will be wipes.

Since one of the major pillars of the game is that it is a persistent world for it 10 real world year time spam. Once it release. there will be no wipes.

Check out the design journals and streams that they have shown so far, and if those do not convince you, then I suggest just keeping the game on your watch list so you can decide later once it is closer to release. I do believe it will definitely be worth it but there is no problem with waiting to see how it turns out before deciding whether to make the plunge.

Keep in mind that Kingdoms of Elyria has been stated to be for aristocrats, nobles, and royals only. Considering it's pure management.

Been looking for a new MMO for months and happen upon CoE and been hooked ever sense.

Hi all. I just came across this game and wonder is it worth to play it ? I mean on what lvl are works on this product ? If i buy 40$ pladge can i play all the time (from now) or just some tests if at all ? I started lately like 5 different games hoping to be worth playing but after quick play i see it will take years to play them, now i can just do round and round same things, its boring so i dont want to repeat this mistakes. If the world and possibilities are already big, is there planned any whipes or some other "starts from nothing" ?

Thanks for honest answers and forgive me my english, ith not my mothertalk ;)

Just wondering what is your native language or "mothertalk" as you put it? ;)

At the moment, it's a leap of faith. I have backed at a rather high tier, putting a lot of money on an unproven product. If Elyria burns me on this, it will be the last time I participate in a crowd funded game.

Unless I am mistaken. Everyone can go into KoE. Maybe not right away, but pretty sure Caspian said non-title holders can enter it.

Well, I believe you have left out the most important info on your questions: What do you deem worth to play!?

CoE is not built for everyone, but a player base with certain wants. I can tell you who might like CoE, but I can't tell you if you will like it, without you giving more info on your wants.

1 First off, CoE's has a very slow pace, maybe as slow as Eve online.

It will take you months to find a rare monster. The artifacts you found may not be useful until you find the trigger. But you need (at least) a year or two to even understand what the trigger is. Progress comes from fulfilling your destiny(which you do not fully know), reaching goals set by yourself and immersing yourself in the experience of the world! Not level progression, not items progression!!

This means if you are looking for quick progression, short session of satisfaction ,this game is not for you.

2 CoE has a lack of premade contents.

Most contents are players generated instead of static objects waiting for players to interact with. They won't be fed to you or throw into your face, but players have to participate and find those contents themselves. This means it takes both time, and your attention to get enjoyment out of the game.

This means this game is not for those who look for instantaneous gratification, hoping for frequent excitement and get bored easily. If you are surfing Youtube for different topics videos all the time, and fall prey to click baits easily, this game is probably not for you. If you like to play alone and interact with others only once a while, this game is not for you.

3 CoE is a game inherently unfair.

This grants more opportunities for players generated contents and more dramatic stories. If you cannot accept inequalities, the game is not for you.

4 CoE is a persistent world with consequences of your every single action.

The world will change by your decisions, minor or big, and it will never return to the same situation. However, this means you must live with your decisions all the time. If you wish to simply relax after your harsh work and do not suffer any consequences for your in game decisions, this game is not for you. If you are trying to avoid pressure all the time. This game is not for you.

Yup, I second that. It was mentioned in the Pre-Alpha Experiences Q&A that everyone could join KoE and be relevant there, including those without a title.

I hope we play this year COE :)
