Why Early Access?

“The Adventurer's Domain Online will spend a period of time in early access. This will give us an opportunity to see how players interact with the game, each other and continue to shape the development of TADO as it heads towards full release.

Early Access also give us an opportunity to open the doors to a group of players who are happy to experience the almost inevitable growing pains of launching a shared online world and who want to be a part of the journey.

We expect player's feedback, interactions with the world and each other to steer the way on making TADO the best experience it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“At Early Access Launch TADO will have had more then two years of active development, the aim will be to leave Early Access within a year of it starting. The first three months will be dedicated to stability, optimisation and polishing of the initial release content. The later nine are scheduled to be focused on expanding and broadening the content based on community response.

This of course is not said with great certainty, game development can often be long and drawn out and its possible TADO will spend longer in Early Access.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access launch will have a full feature set as advertised in the "About this Game" section below, though many of the systems will not be as expansive as they will be at launch.

There will also be more content available at launch than the start of Early Access, whilst some of main questline and majority of core activities will be available at the beginning of Early Access, the amount of side quests and variety of "off the beaten path" activities will grow throughout.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build is fully playable, you can quest, fight, sail and interact with other players as well as progress, though not finish, through the main story.

There's enough content to jump in an play for many hours, particularly if you're the kind of player who likes to explore or interact with other players. That said, if you're the kind of person who only wants to blitz through the core questline and be done, there may not be enough content for you at the start of Early Access to hold you for many hours.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“TADO may increase in price at full launch, this will be reviewed throughout the Early Access. All players who create characters during Early Access will also be recognised with unique in-game cosmetic items for their characters.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“As TADO goes into Early Access the community Discord will provide a place for players to interact, provide feedback and shape the full release.

There's a lot of differing opinions on what makes a good online RPG, and TADO probably won't be for a forever game for everyone, but we will listen and we will continue to push towards making the TADO as good as it can be.”
