Alpha and Beta servers will be wiped prior to launch.[1]

  • Servers may be wiped between individual tests.[2][3][4]

As a general rule, if the testing phase contains the word Alpha, it is safe to assume there will likely be wipes.[4]Steven Sharif

Testing phases

Ashes of Creation testing phases.

Ashes of Creation's core game systems are expected to be in place at the start of Alpha-2.[15][16] By the end of Alpha-2, the game is expected to be feature complete, but it will not be content complete until launch.[17][18]

The game will be feature complete before Beta... Beta really is intended to identify last minute bugs to make sure that everything is ready for launch; it's important that all features are complete by Beta-1. Alpha-2 will not be feature complete at the start of Alpha-2. There are going to be updates that are going to be incorporated as part of the Alpha-2 process and there are going to be additional features that come online that get fleshed out between that time and Beta-1. There's going to be regions of the maps that aren't going to be accessible of course during Alpha-2.[18]Steven Sharif
Alpha-2 is intended to exist up until launch. There's going to be different testing periods that we will be releasing either new content locations or zones or systems that we want to have players focus in on. In those situations, if we're having participation drought because of the length of Alpha-2, we can set them up in a more focused setting. We can even incentivize that. We can offer unique testing to potentially new testers as well.[17]Steven Sharif
  • The developers will not necessarily announce NDA testing periods.[22]

Persistent alpha

Alpha-2 is known as the persistent alpha.[21][23] Persistent means that the Alpha-2 servers will be kept up all day and night until launch.[17][21]

  • There will be downtime for patches.[17][18]
  • Alpha-2 servers will become the public test servers (PTS) post-launch that are used to test patches and updates.[24][4][21]
Alpha-2 will remain even post launch as our public test server.[24]Steven Sharif
The ultimate goal for A2 is to be persistent and the PTS, but before we get that far there's gonna be some wipes I would expect.[4]Steven Sharif
