Mainframe Industries announced yesterday that alpha registrations have started for Pax Dei, a social sandbox MMO inspired by the legends of the Middle Ages. Here's what you need to do to sign up for access to the alpha version.

The Alpha Test for Pax Dei will take place from November 14th to November 27th, and applications are open until the end of Sunday, November 12th. Codenamed Home Valley, the alpha version is focused on peaceful gameplay. For a chance to participate, sign up at https://playpaxdei.com/ until November 12 and fill out your profile. Also, make sure you and your friends are using the same Friend's Token so you can join the same group and play together. Mainframe Industries announced the plan to gradually invite several thousand testers into the game, enough to fill one copy of the world. Additionally, as of November 14th, all confidentiality requirements are being lifted and a dedicated section will be opened at Discord so you can share your impressions with the rest of the players.

They recently doubled the size of the world, meaning players are now offered four provinces covering nearly 300 km², and there are more than twenty valleys to choose the perfect place to live. Gather or hunt a wide variety of resources, deploy multiple crafters, and unlock tons of recipes to craft gear, weapons, and potions to help you on your adventures. There are dozens of building blocks available that you can combine into a home on your own lot. In addition, you can group together as a clan to share warehouses, artisans or plots, making cooperation for larger projects much easier, and encounter numerous enemies in various camps, caves and dungeons.

However, the combat and RPG systems are still under construction and will be overhauled soon. PVP is currently disabled to prioritize testing other game features. The developers promise to bring it back because it is part of the core concept of the game. For more information, you can also read the FAQ here.

Back in March, when we laid out our vision for Pax Dei, a living and breathing Social Sandbox MMO, we made a call for volunteers to participate in our testing program. We’ve been humbled by the response. We want to thank all of you who wishlisted Pax Dei on Steam, signed up at http://playpaxdei.com/ and joined our Discord community. Thank you for supporting our project and thank you for your patience so far! While we’ve already conducted multiple rounds of (confidential) playtests with small groups of players, we have now reached the stage where we need to scale things up and check that the foundations are sound.
