Class Testing Realm

In April, we opened the Class Test Realm as an experiment, where we allowed you to try classes WHILE they were being developed. On this server, no monsters had any drops, and you would spawn into a brand new testing room, where you could purchase the testing classes that only worked on the CTR server. You can read more about this here.

We used it to test and receive feedback on several in-depth class reworks, and we thank you for all the feedback you’ve given.

Adding in the CTR server also had drastic changes to our workflow as developers, as it’s added in a much more public-facing mini-release schedule for classes that required constant changelogs and adding in a lot of bugfixing and polishing steps in the process. What gave you all a deep look into our development process has also nearly doubled the amount of work each class update takes.

After some thought, we’ve decided to conclude the Class Test Realm. We find that it adds significantly more work to our developers than it does enrichment to classes, and so will not be using it the same way in the long term. All players who currently have the CTR Aegis and CTR Zodiac classes will have them converted into Limited Event Coins. As well, the CTR discord will also be closed.

In the future, you may see this game server open if we decide to use it for preview classes, and will award a Limited Event Coin each time it’s used.

What do you think of these changes? Send feedback to the Class Balance team and Alina_AE on Twitter or in our official Discord server.
