It’s been awesome to watch Arkheron players worldwide come together to run games over the last several weeks! However, all cycles must come to an end… and so, on December 7 at 11:59 PM PST, we will be spinning down our Community-Run Playtest servers.
After that, our team will take some time off over the holidays, then come back in the new year well-rested and ready to share the exciting next steps for Arkheron.
If you’re looking to get a few final Community Playtest games in, check out the servers listed below to see when they’re queueing up! Each Discord has its game servers hosted in one location. Right now, there are four Discords that have Community-Run playtests enabled:
Mobalytics hosted on North American servers.
Arkheron Competitive hosted on European servers.
BalorMage hosted on OCE servers.
Rakin hosted on South American servers.
You’re welcome to join all of the Discords! Just keep in mind that if the game servers are far away from you, you may not have the best ping.
HOW TO JOIN:
Get a game key. If you have one already, you’re set. Otherwise, each Discord has a sign up link that will grant you access.
Link your Discord account to the Arkheron Client.
Join the Mobalytics Discord, the Arkheron Competitive Discord, BalorMage’s Discord, or Rakin’s Discord, depending on which server location or community you prefer. (You can join as many as you want!)
Get the ‘ArkheronPlaytest’ role in that Discord.
Check the Discord server(s) you joined their Discord for their designated playtest window or rally friends to come online to start a match at any time. Games need a minimum of 24 players in order to start.
DON’T HAVE A FULL LOBBY?
That’s OK! Normally, a game of Arkheron has 45 players in the lobby; however, for Community Playtests, we’ve lowered the threshold to 15 players in order for a game to start.
Additionally, Training Mode will be available 24/7 for anyone who has a key. There are no additional steps required to join as long as you have downloaded the client. In Training, you can experiment with Arkheron’s item systems. The sparring room also is a great option for small groups of friends to self-organise mini-matches (1v1, 2v2, 3v3).
Thanks for playing, and stay tuned for more Arkheron news soon!
