I am ashamed.

EverCraft Online is having a full-weekend alpha test starting in a few hours.

There's a thread over this way: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4018831

I've enjoyed the few community alphas they've run so far, and I'll probably be dropping in for some of this weekend's event. Game is heavily inspired by EQ, and IMO is in a much better state than Monsters & Memories. It's also much much more approachable for new players / those without overwhelming nostalgia for EQ. The voxel (minecraft-y) art is definitely a love-it or hate-it thing, but even if you don't like it in screenshots, you might very well be surprised by how decent it looks in-game - don't let that put you off.

Also, shoutout to Bognar, who is a fellow goon and is on their dev team.

Thanks for taking over advertising! I had to miss this alpha test unfortunately due to some prior plans, but I made sure to help load test before disappearing. We only load tested 500 concurrent players but we ended up with 600 during the alpha so I'm glad everything mostly turned out okay. The dev team had internal bets going on concurrent player count and I think the highest was 420.

With how hosed up I got wandering around the Old Forest in release LOTRO, I can tell you I was loving relieved to find Tom's house.
