Today marks the start of the new MMORPG Elyon (PC) on Steam and in its own client. We at MeinMMO are accompanying the launch with a live ticker and will answer your questions about the game in the comments.
Update 1:20 PM: We have created a short video to introduce you to Elyon again:
Update 11:00 AM: Since there were issues yesterday and the 200 keys were quickly snatched up, we now have 300 additional keys for the Red Parrot Mount for you.
Update October 21 7:50 AM: Scheduled maintenance work has been announced for today. It will run from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM. We will update the ticker accordingly if the maintenance extends.
Update 7:30 PM: The queue on Andromeda is now at nearly 90 minutes. Over 3,000 players are waiting to enter. The number of players alone on Steam has also grown to over 13,000. However, Elyon also uses its own client, which can be downloaded directly from Kakao Games.
Update 7:00 PM: The keys in our giveaway are now working and you can continue to secure the exclusive mounts.
Update 6:40 PM: The first player numbers on Steam are in. At 5:40 PM local time, there were over 10,000 players online at the same time (via SteamDB).
Update 6:00 PM: Unfortunately, we had to take the giveaway for the mounts offline. The keys we received from Kakao Games are invalid for an unclear reason. We will let you know when the issue has been resolved.
The people who have already won a key will definitely get a key as soon as we are supplied with new ones. It’s currently the middle of the night in Korea, so this may take some time.
Update 5:50 PM: The servers were temporarily down but are now back online.
Update 5:45 PM: The queue is currently about 50 minutes. However, a second EU server named Sagittarius has been added. You can play there directly.
Update 5:12 PM: Now there are indeed the first queues. Currently, the wait time is 30 minutes – trending upward.
Update 4:50 PM: In-game, there are already a lot of players who have completed the tutorial and are milling about in the starting area.
Update 4:40 PM: The MMORPG is currently running stable, and there are no queues yet. However, as there is only one European server, it is possible that this will change over the course of the day.
Update 4:20 PM: The launch is now set for 4:30 PM, as the developers have communicated on Discord.
Update 3:49 PM: The maintenance is being extended. However, there is currently no information on how long the launch will be delayed.
Update 3:40 PM: Elyon is still undergoing maintenance. Anyone who has already downloaded the client for the head start must download a new patch. It took us about 5 minutes.
When does it start? Elyon celebrates its official release on October 20 at 4:00 PM local time. Then all players can try the new MMORPG, as it is free to play.
Previously, a head start took place on October 17, but only those who paid in advance could participate.
A preload is already possible now. You can download the game via Steam or from the official Kakao Games website.
What happens here in the live ticker? We will accompany the launch of Elyon and keep you updated on any server problems, queues, and other issues. So if you want to play Elyon today, you should follow this post.
The game is currently in maintenance, so even head start players cannot play. This maintenance runs from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. We will report live on the state of the game starting at about 3:30 PM.
New MMORPG with Steampunk Elements from Korea
What is Elyon anyway? The MMORPG was released in late 2020 in Korea and is being released as a free-to-play game in the West.
At the focus of the game is the action-packed combat system, which resembles a mix of TERA and Black Desert. This allows you to grind in the open world, complete dungeons, and participate in various PvP activities. This includes fights in the open world at higher levels.
Additionally, it offers a special system where all skills can adapt to your playstyle.
