• What's all this Pre-Alpha, Alpha, Beta and version numbers (0.0.2, 0.0.3 etc) all about?

i'm really confused.

first, it would be nice if i knew what

Beta:
Alpha:

mean, i sorda get the idea, but i'm not 100% sure. I know they r greek words.

Then, are you guys really close to launching the full game?

The "full game"... well, that would be Timeless Era... no, we're ages away from launching that, probably 1 year+.

The 'cut-down, combat oriented mini-game', Lands of War, is close to launch... for a little more detail, see the 3rd last question here:

Some of the stuff i consider a requirement before LoW can be launched:

• Opponent briefly freezes after sand bomb use
• Attribute boost potions
• Health Potions having no cooldown but requiring food + balance changes to food amount/cooldown
• Known ways to make people lag/re-sync with server fixed
• Properly working storage
• Intelligent creature spawning (provisions to ensure that even if a map has a bug, it doesn't screw them up)
• Properly working channel system
• Degrading Equipment
• Trading
• Limited sight range
• Mapwalking around actors
• Issues related to stackable items fixed
• ...probably some more stuff too

Until all that is addressed, personally I wouldn't want to launch, hence why i'm quite sceptical about "7 days" ;p

I really have no idea how long it will all take, i guess a few weeks, maybe 2 months, Krayon would best to answer tho.

Well, I don't completely agree with that list but regardless, time permitting, I don't see it taking 2 months   I should have been clearer though I suppose, the server will likely be back up in a soon (1 - 5) days however whether or not that'll be "launch" of alpha depends on how far I get

Well i think testing of PvP and PvE after changes to healing will be relatively brief, my biggest question is how long until the changes will/can be implemented.

imo Krayon is probably being just a tad over-optimistic, i'd think there'll be another round of testing after some changes are made to how players heal (some of you may have caught some discussion about it in-game), and that testing may be open to all (again), or it may only be a select group of testers.

what does Krayon mean by launch? like launch of full game??

Launch of Lands of War most likely.  For those that are still having trouble understanding the differences between TE and LoW, here is a great quote from Krayon in another topic.

There are currently plans for 2 different servers/games that will run QELServ software, each configured differently. They are called Timeless Era (TE) and Lands of War (LoW). The LoW server is a 'Level capped PvE+PvP combat server', and due to the combat technologies being currently more developed than other elements, the LoW server will be launched sooner than the TE server. The TE server is considered the 'full QELServ' product and will strive to be a very broad and complete game, with equal emphasis on combat and non-combat elements (BOTH of these will be completely free to play).

In your opinion Korrode, how long do you think this testing will take?

Probably next week. Remember that server won't get 100% uptime, because it's "pre-pre-alpha" phase (hehe, small ingame quote).

#Edit
For sure - I mean that this is not playable version, but just for test some features, and to delete few bugs, etc. If u know what pre-alpha means, just don't read this "edit"

Yes.  For those who did not see it ...

* Message from krayon: Server will now be closed until further testing is required (which will most likely be launch, most likely in ~7 days)

* Message from krayon: Thank you for all your helpz
