Test has been going very well so far! With the exception of some small issues that affected individual players or servers, which we're investigating and will be fixing soon, everything is stable and working as intended.
Seeing that many of you are enjoying the game, we've decided to keep the servers running overnight, and if no major issues appear during that time, we will not be wiping your progress or shutting servers down anymore.
Thank you everyone for helping us with the test and all the support you've shown over the last week!
UPDATE
We're working on a content patch, which should be ready next week, and we'll be adding an ability to change your character's name and appearance soon. We will also be reworking the character deletion feature, but it will be coming later, as we'd like to make it a stable as possible. Unfortunately, it was one of the major reasons for the backend issues in the past.
To some of you who selected different starting zones than your friends, you can already take care of it by clicking Respawn in the menu, switching to World Map in the respawning screen, and selecting an oasis you'd like to respawn on. You can choose to respawn on any oasis (respawning on other cradles is only possible if you haven't left one). You will lose your inventory and will have to leave your walker behind, but you'll be instantly teleported to your friends. If you cannot see your friends' oasis, it might be because it's too far away North/South (over 50 tiles), but you can do multiple respawns to get there.
