There are some minor issues with the launch of the Closed Beta for Skyforge. It was scheduled for 15:00, but the servers are still down.
Yes, there is the happy press release that 1 million players have registered for the Closed Beta and that it starts today at 15:00, and the reality is that you can’t access the servers at 15:50.
As Team Allods tweets, there are still last-minute fixes being made to the realms before everything can kick off. At the moment, players can’t even authenticate. There seem to be some difficulties with that as well.
We are working on some last minute fixes to the Skyforge realms. We will update everyone once the servers have gone live!

The interest in the Free2Play MMO Skyforge seems to be quite high: 1 million registered players for the Beta is quite a number. Especially since Skyforge is a fresh brand. Those who are currently waiting for the Closed Beta to start can pass the time with this new Dev Diary. Skyforge presents the plans for their raids here. The special thing is: As there are no healers, everyone is responsible for their own HP. And if certain classes are missing, other players can easily take their place thanks to the class switch at the push of a button. And for those who are still waiting on the servers: Here is our preview of Skyforge. Update 16:00: The authentication seems to be working now and you can access the servers. The next issue is the error message 107, as that seems to be a dead end.
We are aware of the 107 error users may be experiencing as they attempt to log into the server. — Skyforge (@GodsofSkyforge) March 11, 2015
Update 16:37: Now the servers are working, and some users are already in (and by that I mean myself). While others still have problems with server authentication. The first two impressions from the beta: The “Alpha” still appears in the top right, and the texts are in German, but the voice output is in perfect Russian.
@CoryTPLive The issue has to do with server authentication. Some users were able to slip in before the issue began.
