The Community is so into the game already because there has been a lot of information to follow along with and we all have an important role in helping develop the game as our ideas and opinions are listened to. There is always a CoE presence in the Discord channel too so we regularly get to chat with the devs and community management team. The devs are excellent at keeping the community informed and up to date. There are numerous dev journals and news articles available to read jam packed full of months of information, they can be found at the top of the page under the community section. There are numerous Youtube Q&A videos that come out regularly where the devs discuss their progress, intentions and they answer our questions. There is a journal which details the development timetable, i'm sure someone will post it.

Wow now lol Ima need you to come down off that high your on? Also...can you share whatever youre on? :P I jest I Jest...! But for trues my Dood...may I call you my dood?

I am extremely intrigued BUT The combat is wonky and how can I justify dropping more than 100 bucks on a game two years away form being playable UNLESS I cough up what...250? I want this game to be a reality, it would be amazing! I would love to get involved and burn down villages...i mean PROTECT villages :P Help me out here my Dood.

There's still about 3 years of development to go (although we will get to play the Voxelyria/Mud earlier than that), the combat has not been done yet, the combat you've seen is basically a pre-alpha placeholder. Someone else needs to explain all the ins and outs to you I'm not great at explaining things, there's the whole rope bridge philosophy that needs explaining but I'd rather leave that to someone smarter than me lol.

If you want to know all about CoE you really need to take a time out to read all the Dev Journals, watch all the Q&A's. It may sound like a boring thing to have to do but there's so much info it's very hard to explain in a small post why there's such a huge following.

This game will make EVE drama look tame.

Lol, that drama though!

I just Can’t wait for the spring . I’m hoping we get a constant and persistent alpha by June - Im just so impatient to get into the dance of dynasties in game , as the forums game doesn’t do it for me (I’m more of a visual type) . I want to hunt for legendary monsters while assuming my role as badass blacksmith mayor .

A persistent Alpha would be bad ass! I'm so pumped! I feel like this game is going to exceed its expectations!

Waiting and praying for VoxElyria heh then on to the Alphas and Betas. Good things take time :)

Getting a persistent alpha would be a terrible move. Nothing like playing a broken early access game for the next 5+ years.

I wouldn't get hung up on persistent alpha. I think the naming of a star , your family line and name on a head stone or momument .those things may be persistent as well as your land selection. But as testing progresses there may be other things esp when we get to beta, persistent also may be referring to things be implemented that work and not what the community does to build or alter things during testing. EP may be tested but not spent till exposition far as we know. Of course this is only my opinion reading into what they say and everyone has one.

So don't get hung up on "persistent alpha" for right now.
