InteracOnline seems to be a Canadian thing, and we're not Canadian-based. Unfortunately that's not going to be an option. Alright, that makes sense. xD I am from Canada. I might just get my Dad to buy it as a last option. Also, I have a question. How long with the Alpha status last? A year?

Unfortunately, I'm broke, so I won't be able to afford an Alpha account. But I'm still looking forward to when everything is ready.

No, the alpha phase should not last longer than two months depending on how much will need to be tweaked. Beta should also be relatively short.

Really? o_____o I would have thought it'd be somewhere around four or five. I've heard that the weaknesses of sites really get exposed in Alpha, which take a while to fix. Also, people will be suggesting away as to how to make the site even better, and most people would really like to see some user-suggested features get implemented - no matter how small. That'd take a while. And, testers will want to get a nice grip on the game to make sure it's all functioning properly and is fun beyond the initial starting point, which may take longer than two months. Not to mention developing the economy a bit before a lot more people start flooding in...but eh. -shrug- I'm definitely not complaining if you are confident enough in the site to predict that it'll last two months. That's awesome. <3
^ please excuse any strange grammar mistakes in that textwall of a paragraph up there. xD
And by beta, I'm assuming you mean closed/private/whatever beta, right?

Any news on a possible alpha opening date? Spammy threads are starting to pop up, I'm guessing members are starting to find it hard to fill in their spare time, will give them something to do with them itchy fingers

This isn't exactly a nice way to start off :/ Its been a week past the predicted start date for alpha, and we don't even have any acknowledgment from staff that they are late :/ Some info on what is happening would be nice.

I can't wait! I hope to get one of the free accounts. I have no money to spend at the moment. But maybe I will before the Alpha phase begins!

It was a prediction - not a true starting date - so they really don't have to acknowledge anything because it was just a loose estimate anyway. I agree, some info on what's happening would be nice, but I don't really mind so long as Alpha isn't being pushed back months. The staffers are busy making the site ready for us, and I think I'd prefer a few small updates every couple of weeks versus a huge update with tonsss of information. If they're spending time on that, they aren't spending time on the actual site -shrug- Besides, it makes it more of a surprise.

^ But they can still at least recognize that they missed the prediction. They did it when they missed the last one, a day before they even missed it. Why not now?

Patience Anima, they may have a lot of issues to get sorted before they can give any definite news. I'm hoping the delay isn't due to any major issues though with the game :/

I don't care about waiting longer, but from our end it looks like nothing is happening when they just leave an outdated prediction up for over a week.

It would sure be nice to be told something though. Just so we know the game is still going ahead.

The game is definitely going ahead!
There's just been some changes (good ones) in what will be implemented before launching for alpha. Instead of opening with a set of features (which would still make it an interesting game imo), it's going to open with a couple more that are a bit tricky.
