AfterWorld Survival C200 release - the public release

[AW "Dr.Butler" SSB Officer]

Hello everyone and welcome!

With the release of Survival version C200 we are pushing it to public!
Everyone, who have a valid account in AfterWorld: Alpha World can get in!
So, call your soc-mates, corp-friends and tell them to get in Survival!
This forum is now open for every AfterWorld player, all they need is a valid avatar created in game (this is a current limitation - you have to name your avatar in game before the account on this forum will be created/activated).

We have made a deep integration between the Survival Forum and the game itself.
It will now automatically update in-game (Survival only) password when you change it on the forums (we are using high level of encryption and constantly updating in order to bring more security).
The forum will display very recent information about your avatar, like membership in society or corporation, the location of your avatar (city/building).

In a future we plan to move even further on this.
There will be automatically created sections for the societies and corporations with full access restrictions, the view of the market, etc.
We plan on making it a fully-functional portal, so you can always get "in game" without logging into the Survival game itself.

Keep in mind, that this is still a test, and something can go in a wrong, unexpected way. So if you catch any bugs, please report it in a dedicated section.

Also, the current Survival database will be reset and all data will be taken from the Alpha. So, you can do anything you want in Survival until this test is finished. And at the next update, all your stuff from Alpha will appear in Survival again.

Now, back to the release notes...

During summer we have done a lot of work in order to bring more stability to the engine we use, fixing bugs and improving performance. And a lot more to come, as not everything is included with this release.

While running around in game, you may notice that there are a lot more of mobs now. Most of the ones used in Alpha World are back, and some new are added. Again, more to come!

To get into the game, please follow instructions: Survival -- download links and information

Since AW Survival is somewhat different to AW Alpha (AWA) - what we need is a Beginners guide to AW Survival (AWS).


For example - what is the difference between newcomer and citizen in this new world.
In AWA, newcomers are restricted to QA1 ... no idea about newcomers in AWS.

[Event "Janе" Horizon]

The difference between Newcomers and Citizens may be that Newcomers cannot get skills.


I previously volunteered myself to test as a Newcomer - I'll pursue that avenue shortly.

This Mugen Village is fantastic. The river behind the village... and the bunker from the video... and all this scrap metal lying around... Caught myself thinking "Too good to be true!"
But it's true, this village is really there - perfect to the smallest details, all this running smoothly on Ultra.

I'm really impressed. I wanna live in this world. I can even do the hardest thing ever - wait patiently until it gets finished!

Hey all,

as far as I understand in the above quoted text that at the current point it's useless to play since everything will be resetted. Or do I just not getting the point? Is it rational to e.g. gather stones and those gathered won't be resetted?

I hope someone makes it clear for me. Thanks

Cheers

Survival data will be overwritten with alpha data. So everything u get in awa will stay and everything u get in survival is reseted than.

Afterworld Alpha is the 'real/production' game at the moment.
You need to think of the current Survival environment as a testing platform.

Everything you do in Survival is temporary ... everything you do in Alpha is permanent.
When Survival is finally ready, everything in Survival is wiped and everything you are and  own in in Alpha is transferred.

P.S. as a Newcomer you should read this: https://my.afterworld.deelogic.net/survival/index.php/topic,619.msg3043.html#msg3043
