Email from GW to settlement winners?

["The Goodfellow"]

I just wanted to check if I was the only one that got one, and if it is legit. I don't want to get excited If it is somehow a fake or something.

Also, if one of the devs could just chime in and say "yes it is real" and then answer when, because I checked and it isn't active yet. Unless I am doing something wrong.

I wasn't sure if it is "public knowledge" yet which is why I am being non-descript. Those who got it know what I am referring to.

[Gpunk]

You are not the only one. Congrats!

["The Goodfellow"]

So is it real then? Any idea when it will happen? I am hoping I am just being overly eager and "beat them to it" but ya never know these days LOL.

[Aet Khorvak McTiernan]

My money would be early access to Alpha to increase population density...but that's just a guess...

[Caldeathe Baequiannia]

Damn it! I expected that.

[KOTC WxCougar]

I got one too, so you're not hallucinating :)

[Wexel Daventry, The Veiled, T7V]

Ok guys, this is just teasing us non-settlement owning members...What does this email say...unless they told you to keep it quiet in the email we are all going to know from our settlement owners shortly.

[<Magistry> Clexarews]

Yes, do tell.

[Bluddwolf]

Confirmed, all settlement owners from the guild rush have Alpha Access!!

Congratulations to all! Looking forward to seeing more Twitch Feeds!

[Ryan Dancey]

Yes it is real! There will be a blog post about it later today!

[Thod]

Traveling in the US. Any idea how big the download needed is. Likely will have to wait after GenCon. But this was a positive surprise.

["The Goodfellow"]

That is awesome, I got the email and jumped out of chair yelling LOL. totally defeated the purpose of getting my 2 year old to take a nap but will totally be worth it.

So next question, when/how do I download the client and log in?? Yes I got the 2nd email linking my account on GW.com What next? I don't think I have ever been this excited.

Side note: @bludd I was gonna give you back settlement control once in game since UNC and Aragon was your idea first, but F that, I am in ALPHA!!!!!!!!!! LOL

There's a sticky post in the Alpha Forums if you don't see it in the Alpha Testing email for this weekend (when that gets sent out).

Nope you deserve it. If it weren't for you, I'd have no idea PFO existed.

You do owe me in that I warped and twisted your soul, prying you away from being a Paladin... And now look at you, all grown up and an Assassin!

I expect that you will stab someone in the face, as quickly quickly as possible, in the name of the UNC.

[Bonny Paz]

All emails have gone out. Most of you have redeemed them. Check your junk mail as well, just incase you don't see it... <3

What are the next steps after we redeemed it? Seems I can see the alpha forum now. But I have no clue what else to do.

You should have received another email about this week of alpha testing including the link to the download at the bottom. If you didn't get that email the correct download link can be found in quite a few places on the alpha forums but you can always ask again and I'll happily provide you the link over there.

The installer is about 1.2GB so it may take some time to download if you don't have a good stable connection.

[Thod]

Found the installer and dared to try download via hotel network. 5% done and less than 1 hour. Wish me luck.

[T7V Jazzlvraz]

I hope getting to be at GenCon, however, makes up for a small host of other difficulties.

[Ryan Dancey]

The email you get when you are first invited to the Alpha has a number of useful links to guides and such. And there is a topic on the Goblinworks forums in the News and Announcements category called "Alpha Intro Package" that repeats that email and has those links.

Have fun!

[Elorebaen]

Congrats all!!!

Speaking of which, I already attacked Gpunk, but stopped as I was just saying hi, and then I killed random player. Didn't catch the name.

Anyway, I have a game to learn.

[Thod]

I managed to get it downloaded and installed. Login was a major problem. My random lastpass password had lots of I and l in it that I couldn't distinguish and no copy&paste.

I'm now in - or should I say my son took over. Will have to work out now how to do stuff. Thanks for the opportunity to learn.

It didn't happen if no screen shots, or Fraps! But seriously, get the Twitch going of Frap it!

[Mbando]

Umm, what should we do if we checked our email and junk mail folders and no dice?

;-P

Redirect them to my address?

[Ryan Dancey]

@Mbando - PM sent.

[leperkhaun]

Any chance I could get a PM too?

[Mbando]

Oops I misunderstood and thought this was personal emails not the settlement email--my bad!

[Cadi]

Did this email only go out to the company officer who did the land rush or to all company members? If the latter, I did not receive an email either.

[Kadere]

Only the person who registered the guild.

Check your settlement email AND your PMs. Hint. Hint. :)
