Five of Crowfall’s eventual 13 archetypes will be available to players in this round of testing
Independent game developer ArtCraft Entertainment, Inc. revealed that external pre-alpha testing has started for the "Castle Siege" system of their flagship title, Crowfall, which marks the point where Crowfall starts to separate from the other games available in the market.
A Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMORPG) that centers on political alliances and feudal conquest, Crowfall has been described as “a throne war simulator.” With heavy focus on player versus player gameplay, opposing sides collide in the unending struggle for glory, wealth and power.
In this latest phase of testing, Pre-Alpha 2.0: Siege Perilous, participants split off as soldiers supporting Chaos or Order, either laying siege to or defending a castle. In addition, the castle destruction system is now online, allowing players to tear down walls and topple towers with real-time server side physics.
Five of Crowfall’s eventual 13 archetypes will be available to players in this round of testing: Champion, Confessor, Knight, Legionnaire and the recently-added Ranger.
A project jointly supported by crowdfunding and private investors, Crowfall’s 2015 Kickstarter remains among the most successful campaigns in the video game category. Interested players can learn more about Crowfall and sign up for the free beta test at Official Website.

As always, even with all the tweaks and fixes and hard work required to release a major milestone, we always have one eye toward the future… and a few team members running forward to make headway on our next release.

The Worlds are made of voxels – which means the entire World is destructible
"It’s amazing that we crossed this milestone just days before the first public test of our persistent world server," notes J. Todd Coleman, ArtCraft Entertainment CEO and chief creative officer. "Until now, we’ve been limited to testing modular systems like combat or castle destruction. This is our first chance to play the game in a large, sprawling game world and for days instead of hours.”
