July 27, 2023 - End of Season 1, Start of Beta!

Changing of the Seasons

We wanted to thank everyone for participating in the inaugural season of Eden! We have had the joy of watching all of our players battle it out all across the frontier and have much enjoyed watching all of the epic battles take place.

The last day of Season 1 will be Saturday August 5th.

As a reminder, the following will carry from Season 1 to Season 2:
Level 50 characters or characters that reached RR2L4 and higher will be reset to level 1 and keep their Realm Rank. Characters that reached neither level 50 nor RR2L4 will not carry over.
Realm Points, Crafting Skills, Kill / Raid Stats / Titles and their progress*, & Housing Trophies, and Whistles all carry over! Don’t worry, this will not create problems in the Battlegrounds.
Guilds + Alliances will stay as they are, but any progress in the will be reset (merit points, bank,)
Titles require level 50 to transfer. Crafting skills for each realm have no requirements and are account bound.

Don’t like downtime and want to keep up the fight? Don't worry! The normal server will turn into the beta server and you can log in as usual. The Season 2 Beta starts on Sunday, August 6th!

Here is what you can expect for the very first weeks of Beta:

Comprehensive balance patches!
3 new classes join for the Beta! Heretic, Valkyrie, and Bainshee, all in a more balanced form to fit our setting. Tell us how they feel and we will keep making adjustments!
i50 command with easy templating and instant RR. Note that any character using this feature will not save towards S2.
A new, quickly changing RR gate so we can test balance at different realm ranks
Focused World Event and content tests!

Feature Testing

Along with the balance changes, we will be introducing many new, exciting gameplay features for Season 2 that will require extensive testing. In order to limit the scope of testing at the beginning of the beta, we will not be turning these features on immediately. Instead, we are hoping to introduce the features regularly along with a writeup on the feature and an overall introduction of the mechanics.

From our previous announcement these features will include, but not be limited to:
Realm Invasion Testing and explanation of mechanics
Tactical Commands
World Events
2.0 Release of Deserter AI
And many more

After the initial beta release, we will begin slowly introducing these into the world as noted for more intensive testing.
QoL changes, core DAoC improvements, and more!

You can only keep progressing characters to reach level 50 and save your name. The RPs and everything else on your characters however will only be saved on August 5th. Characters that used the i50 feature will not be saved at all.
