What is to Come to the World of Tyras...

Well open beta released... ya... thats just about it. There was nothing really special about it I know. But this Beta is definitely not the last you'll see for a while. Me and my programmer Labmonkey are hard at work on more updates to the beta. Currently we are getting ready for the features shown below:

• Paperdoll Items
• GUI
  
• More Mobs
• Spell System (With Spell Recharge)
• Limited Lag
• Fixed Fringe Errors
• Fixed Sprite Errors
• All Items Slots
• AND MANY MANY BUG FIXES!

Soon enough Tyras will have a bug reporting area on Gravity as well as a place to build our community. Stay tuned for updates are on their way.

Sorry for the delay. I will give the beta download an hour early for vampire when all content is all good. Here is the link. Please report any bugs to me in any way you can:

The Beta House

When you're not battle vicious beast and bandits, or warring the enemy nations and exploring the vast world... what do you do?

Well in Open Beta 1-4 Only, you can chill out in the "Beta House."

*Click to Enlarge*

What do you do at the Beta House? The building will be accessed by a spell given to all players. It is a place to mingle with friends in Tyras, even ones that arn't on your faction. You can buy the Beta Hammer here as well as all the Race Beta Items.

The Beta House is also a connection between areas within your faction. If you are a Sapien, you can simply just go to the Beta House and quickly then warp to the Spawn lands. The same goes for the Vampire and Drow.

Finally, the Beta House will feature various events, accessed through the cave entrance. There will be server-wide dungeons, boss battles, pvp, and many other events. Plus, these events can gain you super rare, one of a kind items that will only be up for grabs for a few hours.

Hope to see you all in Beta!

The Truth About Open Beta

Seeing as how I haven't even finished up the Sapien lands and it is already getting close to September, I have decided for an alternative way to do the second Beta.

OPEN BETA WILL BE SAPIEN ONLY

You will only be able to play as the single race, but this way I can add much more content including more skills and quests. I have also decided that I will do 4 Open Betas and have each one unlock a different race. You can either play the new race or continue with your old ones.Once I release the 4th, I will finish up all the extra areas for each race and do a full release.

I will also be giving out a new beta item each Beta, one for each race. Here is a road map of what lies ahead:

Open Beta 1-Sapien
Open Beta 2-Vampire
Open Beta 3-Spawn
Open Beta 4-Drow
Final Release!

I hope to see you guys in beta soon. The first beta item will be a helmet for the Sapien race. Plus if you participate in any open beta, you get the Beta Hammer!

TYRAS BETA RELEASE DATE!!!

Tyras Beta will be released on Tuesday,
September 1st 2009.
Thank you guys for all of the support and I hope to see you in Beta.
