The zombie MMO H1Z1 has a test server, while the game is still in an early alpha stage. Just this week, the sound was out for several hours after a patch.
The bee patch brought beekeeping and Molotov cocktails, but it also took the sound away from players for several hours. This has already been fixed in the meantime, and no one is really upset about it; they repeat the H1Z1 mantra: “It’s just an early alpha.” However, it has happened more frequently that a fresh build of H1Z1 caused serious issues. The last major bug made players demand a server wipe.
To increase the chances of everything going smoothly in the future, H1Z1 has now launched a “test server”. Here players can already try out the next patch, the next build. According to the community manager of DGC, players should see it as “early early access”.
They will announce through the usual channels (Twitter/reddit) when the next version drops there. They appreciate everyone who tests there: The more, the better.
H1Z1 is currently in early access and is being developed under player feedback. In April, development is slowly picking up speed and almost every week new features and items are added. Access to early access on Steam costs nearly 20 euros, and later the game should be free for PC. And a little later, it will also be available for PlayStation 4.
