On Lost Ark, the Closed Beta starts on November 4th. We at MeinMMO will accompany the launch with a live ticker and keep you updated on server issues, queues, and also the latest news.
What is this about? In this article, we will live cover the launch of New World. As with New World or Swords of Legends Online, we will keep you informed about any server issues and queues. So it’s worth checking this article regularly.
Update 19:20: We have taken a closer look at the Lost Ark shop and will inform you about all the content:
Is Lost Ark Pay2Win? This is what’s in the shop of the western version.
Update 18:05: A second server – so far with no queue – has been added!
Update 17:30: Unlike New World, you make progress in the queue in Lost Ark. In about 30 minutes, we have gained 3,000 spots.
Update 17:15: We at MeinMMO were able to play the beta of Lost Ark and have summarized our experiences here: Today, the new MMORPG Lost Ark starts – We have already played for 12 hours.
Update 16:55: Just before the official start of the beta – which is already live – there are queues. And they are not short. If you log in now, you already have over 5,100 players ahead of you.
It is also interesting: Only 9.9 million characters can still be created. When the number originally allowed 10 million character slots, there are currently about 21,550 players logged in.
Update 16:20: The servers are already live and you can play!
Update 16:00: One hour until the start of the beta. Our 500 keys have already been distributed. Let’s see if it starts sooner like in New World.
Update 14:40: We at MeinMMO are now giving away 500 keys for access to the Closed Beta of Lost Ark.
When does it start? The Closed Beta of Lost Ark starts on November 4th at 5:00 PM. We will start the live ticker around 4:00 PM and keep you informed about everything important.
How can you participate in the beta? You need a beta key, which you can apply for on the official website of Lost Ark . However, these keys are distributed randomly. If you want guaranteed access, you must purchase a Founder’s Package.
Where could problems arise? The developers have already communicated via Twitter that they will focus on load testing from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Thus, there will initially be only one world per region, and players should already prepare for issues. Generally, server problems are the norm with new MMORPGs.
Lost Ark is considered a great MMORPG hope finally coming to the West
What kind of game is this? Lost Ark resembles a mix of MMORPG and Diablo:
- You use the isometric perspective, an action combat system, and fight against hordes of monsters. Additionally, loot plays an important role. This is reminiscent of Diablo.
- At the same time, there are classic guilds, PvP content, an auction house, dungeons, and raids, as you are used to from an MMORPG.
The game offers you 15 classes at launch, of which we particularly recommend 5 for beginners. You can find all classes here in the quick preview:
The game world is divided into many zones with loading screens, where you can meet other players, much like in Guild Wars 2. Additionally, you will encounter events such as dimensional rifts and larger bosses in the world.
