Hello frontier testers~!



I'm so glad to see you again.



I bet you are too~ ;)



All the comments and replies gave our developers a great energy to go on.



So before the official open beta(which would take some time),



we decided to reopen the server for you~! lol



All characters remain so you may use the characters you worked on.



There won't be a difference in the client except fixing the irregular performance in foreign OS.



So please try once more if you couldn't join the test before!



The following is the schedule for the Encore Beta Test.





Open : February 18, 10:00 am, Korean Time



※ February 17, 08:00 pm, New York, Eastern Time
February 18, 01:00 am, London, Greenwich Mean Time



Close : February 24, 06:00 pm (Seoul, Korean Time)



※ February 24, 04:00 am, New York, Eastern Time
February 24, 09:00 am, London, Greenwich Mean Time




You may download the client tomorrow afternoon.



If you have the client installed before, you can just patch and start the game.

Nice to see new developments in this area. I envisioned a number of mmo shmup concepts years ago (not quite like this though), and still think the basic concept of combining the two genres has great potential. For international players, right now latency might be the greatest enemy to overcome; I wonder will this have regional servers, or has the design been tweaked to work around the problem of internet lag? Also curious about the scope of the game, such as how many simultaneous players the game allows in any single shmup instance. Assuming this game will fit into the 'free-to-play with microtransactions-for-items' model, rather than a monthly fee.
