[warm plover]

Goodnight, Liv!

[bright forge]

Maybe?

[vast escarp]

We had this discussion the other day, pretty sure everyone agreed you were

[jagged bluff]

I'm sure I'll talk to you tomorrow!

[warm plover]

:D

[warm plover]

wow you guys are ganging up on me i see 🐈

[normal ferry]

omg i just checked my emails and i'm in!!

[umbral ferry]

Mailchimp's plan for 200000 transactional mails per month is like $400, so not that expensive. Even if it were to fall under marketing mails that'd be like $1200 for 200000 contacts per month (for more you have to contact them on a plan)

[surreal crest]

I SAID RIN. BEST. BOI.

[warm plover]

Congratulations!!

[midnight mantle]

Rin is best boi confirmed

[barren geyser]

@Anjalea 💍#0067 Yay!!

[idle peak]

im stupid..i sign only with one e-mail 😦

[surreal crest]

I just checked my email and it said Rin is the best boi

[void imp]

hooray!!

[midnight mantle]

No, you’re honest

[barren geyser]

Rin is best

[normal ferry]

tysm!!

[long sundial]

How do you delete someone's reaction?

[warm plover]

wow technology has come so far that i can be wrong now

[exotic schooner]

About 3 hrs left of the invites now guys, keep your hopes up!

[bright forge]

You do what everybody should

[umbral ferry]

You don;t?

[placid shoal]

we're only supposed to sign up with one email :)

[versed sail]

That's not stupid. That's how it's meant to be done.

[cold mesa]

Left?

[long sundial]

But Rin said no to best boi, so it must be deleted

[warm plover]

Three hours right of the invites

[exotic schooner]

They started the invites 21 hours ago and they said it'd be for a full day

[remote latch]

yes .. if its 24 hours from when the announcement happened .. but could be longer

[ionic rapids]

Well just woke up with 3 hours left and.... just a bunch of spam emails, no invite 😦

[void imp]

if it's inappropriate somehow you can message a mod about it, they have the power

[fallow slate]

.

[long sundial]

It is very innappropriate that Rin does not believe that Rin is best boi, yes.

[warm plover]

nomi i think they were talking about my nodeer reaction to people calling me best boy

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[trail stirrup]

i suppose they cant predict how long it will take them to get through it all a day could have been a guestimate

[bright forge]

O! a pebble!

[cold mesa]

Nel never said an exact amount of time though

[surreal crest]

.

[warm plover]

🪨

[bright forge]

[quick dove]

I mean, he did say Approx 24hrs

[thorny dune]

When do u sleep Rin 👀

[long sundial]

I mean, I think 24 hours is the goal, but they may finish early or later.

[umbral ferry]

People really fixate on the "a day" meaning "24 hours"

[raw quail]

he never sleeps

[void imp]

nel is a woman B)

[quick dove]

he probably doesn't sleep

[warm plover]

at sleep o'clock
i already brushed my teeth so i plan to get into bed soon

[floral cypress]

Why people so salty over the meaning of a day lmao

[cold mesa]

I'm only going off the announcements. We have no idea how long for sure. It could take longer.

[trail stirrup]

im about to brush my teeth too lol

[long sundial]

You misspelled hyped

[acoustic stratus]

I've been looking everywhere, but its hard to find my answer with a huge active community

Is there an ETA for the game?

[olive heath]

Considering he was up at 1-2am last night, yeah.

[somber crag]

People are just excited, it's normal enough. Just keep your chin up and wait patiently for the announcement saying the invites are done being sent out.

[cold mesa]

I just dont want 3 hours to come around and people start getting upset before its final kinda thing

[versed sail]

They're just buggin' cause everyone wants to party together in the game.

[thorny dune]

Ah so you like sleeping with the sun up

[warm plover]

Oh well~ the time might differ but it won't really matter cause I'll be asleep

[quick dove]

Bruh I work nights and he's still awake at those hours

[umbral ferry]

There will be sodium, there was last time

[vast escarp]

People need distractions so they stop watching their empty email box

[warm plover]

"Much less than three years from release" is our closest thing to an ETA

[surreal crest]

skyrim it is

[umbral ferry]

E-empty, r-right

[long sundial]

Way less than 3 years for full game

[trail stirrup]

cant get enough of that sodium

[warm plover]

I live in Australia~ GMT+8

[remote latch]

less than 3 years .. is the only response we have had ..

[quick dove]

That explains it

[iron pagoda]

I'm back you beautiful people. What did I miss?

[vast escarp]

When will skyrim finally get released on my Samsung smart fridge

[umbral ferry]

Rin is actually an AI, AI's don't sleep

[warm plover]

People were spreading lies and slander about me, calling me best boy

[trail stirrup]

it will be ready when its ready. i know we are all busting to play it, but we know what happens when these things are rushed

[surreal crest]

when it will be about todd-damn time

[patent dust]

we’ll update once the process has concluded. be aware that the invites are not over until the devs make the announcement. the said 'a day'. this DOES NOT mean its exactly 24 hours, but more of a general time frame.

[long sundial]

I mean, it kind of is? All of us giving feedback and suggestions as we build the communities that will be in the game.

[void imp]

i hope i didn't hurt you with my immaturity earlier, pryce

[iron pagoda]

Oh um.. yeah...

[thorny dune]

You've dethroned Milky

[versed sail]

As Best Boi, your self-assessment is invalid.

[olive heath]

A single day could turn into two or three XD

[warped lynx]

🤞 Still waiting...

[sand barn]

That's heresy!

[surreal widget]

Filled out My NDA

[thorny dune]

Hey I didn't decide

[remote latch]

I think ( stress think ) Nel also posted a message in here last night saying it could last until the end of today ( their time ) ..

[sand barn]

Although milky would probably smile and say "I love you all"

[surreal widget]

Got my Email at 10:00 AM

[cold mesa]

Exactly. That was more to say "its going to take time" than "an exact amount of time"

[candid tartan]

I got my email at 12:01 AM lmfao

[quick dove]

Impossible

[warm plover]

We were both immature today
I'm glad we both apologised

[olive heath]

I got mine the other night as well! Grats!

[patent dust]

i looked through the messages earlier becuase i also thought she said 'a day or so' in here, but i couldnt find any such message. she just said 'a day' again

[surreal widget]

SQUAD GOALS

[vernal knot]

its like im watching the olympics..

[surreal crest]

I find this cute

[sand barn]

Good luck to all new testers!! Y'all are gonna do great

[burnt wadi]

idk how to tell if i have the pre-alpha role yet so im posting here to look lol

edit: i do not have it yet

[surreal widget]

My first major Alpha testing in ages..

[oak kestrel]

Did they already sent all the invites ?

[trail stirrup]

no

[somber crag]

Not yet! They'll announce when it's done.

[vast escarp]

You don't get a role this time, just an email

[exotic schooner]

Not yet

[oak kestrel]

Oh, okay ! 😛

[umbral ferry]

inb4 emails are sent out using powerautomate and thats why they take so long

[somber crag]

I think you do get the role eventually, but that's not how they're telling people they've been selected.

[long sundial]

Best Boi Olympics! React NoDeer for Rin, and KitsuuHeart for Milky. You may also nominate others.

[burnt wadi]

they confirmed that they will be giving the role

[trail stirrup]

someone has to read them all and finalise the decision, theyre not going to let a bot do it all

[patent dust]

please read the FULL ANNOUNCEMENT

[reef frigate]

ive never checked my email so much ever like i have these past 2 days

[remote latch]

yeah can't find it now .. maybe it was misread on my point with the scrolling

[patent dust]

yeah i misread it too T.T

[umbral ferry]

Uhh can do that before the bot starts sending

[raw quarry]

Well you'd need the role to access the channel thingy that they get

[worthy fjord]

and what about tau, he is pretty good boy

[trail stirrup]

yes, but still takes time

[vast escarp]

Ye, would make sense as i assume there is a top secret pre-alpha test chat where only the cool people are allowed

[versed sail]

I have adjusted my discord window so that I can see the email tab above it with the inbox count, in case it changes 😛

[umbral ferry]

Presumably they'd have done it before even annoucning

[dense summit]

I want in so badly...why can't I get an email?! I would be a valuable asset to helping out i enjoy searching for bugs, glitches, etc....please send me a 🔑!!! 😭

[long sundial]

TauXD for Tau

[vernal cairn]

here you go 🔑

[somber crag]

Lol, oh yeah. A cool kids club - totally. 😛

[void imp]

does anyone know if they're opening the tester channel gates around the same time even though some already got the mail a day ago? sounded like everyone is waiting to get in still

[warm plover]

Aha! Undeniable proof that I'm not cool!

[cold mesa]

Can confirm i am not cool

[trail stirrup]

im guessing ppl will be rolled once they anounce theyre done

[iron pagoda]

I imagine the NDA contract to be something along the lines of..
"I solemnly do swear, I am up to no good"

[reef frigate]

gmail emailed me thinking my account has been compromised since i log is so often these 2 days

[limber spade]

I life goal is searching for bugs in every game i play 😅

[quick dove]

Didn't you snaek in the the tester VC?

[burnt wadi]

i got an email but i am the opposite of cool

[warm plover]

mushy say hi in the prealpha people chat for me
say rin says hi

[fringe aurora]

This post about keys was only for America region or for Europe too?

[somber crag]

I'm making an educated guess that they'll assign the roles once the emails are done. Is only a guess, tho. c:

[thick umbra]

I love playing like that too Afiale!

[warm plover]

please

[worthy fjord]

I see there is still too much confusion with the pre alpha

[warm plover]

😛

[past terrace]

hoo boy, hard to keep up with the chat in here while I'm day trading

[somber crag]

Must not be true if you got the email. But, then again, everyone in this Discord is cool so... mmm.. I dunno. My logic is failing.

[patent dust]

@spice umbra #❓│old-team-answers-alpha message

[long sundial]

I cannot confirm, because of the

[void imp]

that'd be lovely, they can all party together that way

[burnt wadi]

everyone but me is cool yes

[cold mesa]

You can do it though

[fringe aurora]

This post about keys was only for America region or for Europe too guys?

[thorny dune]

Nah anyone like you who keeps the vibes chill is pretty cool

[versed sail]

multiple regions

[celest maple]

Ok guys we need it balanced like everything should be

[iron pagoda]

"one or two Europeans have had an invite I believe" - Someone earlier.

[fringe aurora]

thanks Maya 🍉

[patent dust]

there are people who are not NA who have gotten in, im not sure how many but ive seen at least 1 (they siad the got the email, anyways.)

[void imp]

i mean your username and profile pic are both cool

i've seen a handful of EU testers already :D

[burnt wadi]

thanks, pic is my cat named Bucket

[warm plover]

Im not in the prealpha channel now am I

[void imp]

SO COOL

[thorny dune]

Maybe just less people from EU, OCE, etc signed up

[keen aspen]

that cat is amazing

[burnt wadi]

yeah Bucket is the coolest of cats

[bright forge]

Did you?

[cold mesa]

Youre in the discord and you can talk to us here though???

[trail stirrup]

interesting name

[warm plover]

Bucket is shaped like a friend

[remote latch]

ah I think this is the one I saw .. not quite till the end of the day ' Kalan — Yesterday at 10:15 PM
Emails will be sent throughout the day, and probably into tomorrow, so just be patient, you'll never know for sure if you're in or not until Nel confirms all emails have been sent out! '

[exotic schooner]

Now this, this made me sad

[void imp]

i mean at least they claimed to be european

[versed sail]

#💬│palia-discussions is the real Pre Alpha ❤️

[iron pagoda]

I think they were trolling, made me laugh though.

[warm plover]

yeah but idk how many of you guys look here
but ill try anyway
deep breath
HI PREALPHA TESTERS

[mint kelp]

I was summoned.

[patent dust]

we're always looking in here

[thorny dune]

They already left us, Rin

[regal swallow]

Smiles are contagious.

[vale spire]

Huh, what?

[cold mesa]

We are always watching 👀

[patent dust]

just because we dont type doesnt mean we arent around

[thorny dune]

Even milky will one day leave this channel entirely for the pre alpha testers

[iron pagoda]

So is covid

[void imp]

ooh hi lurkers too 🌻 🌿

[uneven cliff]

g

[warm plover]

if you arent directly in front of me you stop existing. whats an object permanence

[spring merlin]

Are folks getting added to the pre-alpha channel? 👀 I sent in my ID but haven't been added.

[trail stirrup]

i was gonna go with yawns, but that works too

[long sundial]

I would give you my key because you deserve it, but my roommate would want me to play it. And, of course, I'm hyped, but I'm just an alien and you're best boi. I mean, I might apply for best alien position, but someone like you really should get in

[umbral ferry]

It'll likely take a little

[somber crag]

Not yet! I'm assuming it'll happen after the emails have been sent and stuff, y'know.

[spring merlin]

Fair!

[long sundial]

Okay, that was too emotional, but I really want Rin to be in.

[warm plover]

Ah, no, only the first wave people have access to the channels right now afaik

[burnt wadi]

i don't think they're doing it quite yet. i also havent gotten access yet

[spring merlin]

Just curious!

[warm plover]

dont do something irresponsible for my sake. i'll just enjoy the game at a later time, yes?

[olive heath]

I'd say they are working on it atm. Just patiently waiting on the role update myself.

[long sundial]

I won't, I just wish I could.

[surreal crest]

I might give you my key if I get in. I'm worried I work to much to actually play

[stiff ember]

Do we know if we will be able to play as an elf yet or are they just an NPC race?

[vernal knot]

object permanence is overrated. if i cant see something directly in front of me why do i need to think about it

[remote latch]

only humans playable .. at least at the moment. They may add other species/races at a later date maybe when the humans story is completed

[spring merlin]

Last I heard I thought it was just humans?

[long sundial]

It'll probably be human for a long time, if not forever.

[vast escarp]

I'm waiting for my role not to change and for the realisation to finally kick in

[warm plover]

To be honest, I was a little disappointed/upset earlier. I'm sorry if I annoyed anyone with my thinly veiled complaining.
But I already came to terms with it and I want you guys to do your best and have fun with the experience! I'll just be joining you all a little later!

[iron pagoda]

I keep getting spam emails from competitions I used to sign up to from Crystal maze and cartoon network, back when like AOL was a thing.. Keeps getting me excited.

[somber crag]

I'm not sure the whole concept of giving other people your game keys is a wise idea! I can't tell if people are just joking around or being serious, but I'd recommend you don't do anything like that.

[long sundial]

Humans are a big part of the story, that's why

[normal ferry]

i really hope a lot of you guys'll get in ^.^

[vast escarp]

Mabye they'll need the aussie servers testing at some point

[versed sail]

Not forever. They have already said elves are next.

[stiff ember]

Ok, thanks. 👍

[warm plover]

Ahaha that would be nice

[long sundial]

It's not wise, and I will not be doing that. It seems Palia illegal.

[thorny dune]

Oof I feel like Aussie servers are wishful thinking

[long sundial]

Oh look, proof of best boi

[warm plover]

NOOOO

[somber crag]

Brb, running to the store to buy Rin cat treats.

[vernal knot]

rin, youre really nice. just accept it lol

[iron pagoda]

I wonder if Palia will have some sort of law enforcement? Can I be a bent coppa?

[remote latch]

don't worry Rin .. you won't be alone if you don't get in 🙂 Many of us still haven't got an email so we'll still be here chatting, theorising and trying to divert the conversation away from Palia for a few minutes 🙂

[warm plover]

They did put Australia on the survey for region, so we have a chance! Might get lumped in with SEA though!

[compact condor]

Well back from my Mani/Pedi...no invite. Le Sigh

[warm plover]

fiine ill accept defeat.. but only for today

[mossy dagger]

Jealous of the mani pedi though!!

[remote latch]

there might be something .. there is a magistrate . so there is some sort of law system .. maybe

[olive heath]

Divert palia chat from palia chat?

[thorny dune]

I wouldn't mind being able to visit other data centres cause I have a bunch of EU and NA friends here

[long sundial]

HUZZAH!

[warm plover]

Me too!

[clever glen]

They still sending out more invites?

[mighty cedar]

I've got a mail! but.. just a newsletter of a comics website 😢

[thorny dune]

Otherwise, AU pop always feels dead... Palia will be co-op in AU with me, Rin and probably 3 others haha

[remote latch]

well .. try as we might to stay on topic .. we almost always stray away .. and then we try and get back on target before we get told off

[lusty dune]

Is there a way to transfer pre-alpha keys? My fiancé got accepted but was sent off for training in the military, but we both have applied

[worthy fjord]

I know is offtopic but, any spanish or latino active here?

[warm plover]

Sebastian will be there probably

[proper rapids]

Hi ! I just signed up 🙂 Never really played a lot of sim game but this actually sounds nice for some reason. Should I have received a mail confirming i've signed up ?

[long sundial]

I think Palia is pretty peaceful, so there's no need for a police force. If there's a crime, it is probably responded to by the community

[somber crag]

Ask a dev! ❤️

[trail stirrup]

i hope they dont region lock like wow does. only person i know who plays it is in canada

[small hinge]

So many theories and suggestions and interacting just in discord I really want to see what I can come up with in game while the game is still relatively shapeable

[lusty dune]

Where do you ask devs?

[thorny dune]

We'll have a very close knit neighbourhood at least

[warm plover]

No confirmation emails were sent, sorry

[remote latch]

yeah .. likely .. just makes me think .. why is there a magistrate in a peaceful world .. ?

[versed sail]

They have said they want to make sure you will be able to play with your friends no matter where they are, so maybe split servers won't be as big of a deal.

[small hinge]

Water balloons or just balloons would be rad

[proper rapids]

Thanks for clarifying x)

[somber crag]

Neleimour and Whirly are both good developers to ask! If you send them a DM, I'm sure they'll respond to it eventually.

[warm plover]

They said you aren't tied down to a server, so I imagine serverhopping is quite common and there aren't any 'fixed' servers

[iron pagoda]

You just know there are going to be some unruly Chuus who need locking up.. Jus' Sayin'

[umbral ferry]

I thought Neleimour is the community manager, not a dev

[lusty dune]

Thanks!

[misty aspen]

this past day has really made me realize how much spam email i get on the regular.

[long sundial]

Bare essential law framework for the rare instance, though they normally probably deal with things like trade and such.

[warm plover]

Whirly isn't a dev, I think! Iirc he's an admin on loan from Discord

[fallow island]

id say community manager still counts as a dev

[somber crag]

They're on the dev team, that's all I meant! Sorry. ❤️

[raw quarry]

Imagine a snow balloon, it's like a snowball but balloon

[warm plover]

Neleimour is official staff though
I just dont think Whirly is

[exotic schooner]

Anyone seen GreenTurtle? Not seen them for a while now

[remote latch]

yeah .. it might be just for NPC purposes .. but would be a laugh if an NPC asks you to do something .. and it turns out to be something that lands you in jail for a few hours rofl

[warm plover]

Not in a while...

[keen orbit]

No world is 100% peaceful. There are only peaceful parts. I have a feeling that's part of what the story will focus on.

[umbral ferry]

For a moment I thought you said he's an IRC admin and was like "Wait, there's an IRC?"

[burnt wadi]

Neleimour is probably the best person to ask about that, just DM them

[small hinge]

Turtle not usually on this early but he always 👀 🐢

[cobalt adder]

This isn't going to be open world with 10,000 person servers right? That is my impression at least.

[olive heath]

Or that npc could actually be a dev in disguise and then randomly appear as if something "more" is going on then it seems.

[iron pagoda]

I want to be able to sue my neighbors for chopping down my conifers

[long sundial]

Turnip Chuu Boy Commits Tax Evasion

[warm plover]

Doesnt Discord count as an IRC?

[umbral ferry]

Ehhh, no?

[trail stirrup]

"Get awwf maa lawwwn!"

[fallow island]

fun fact i went to school with the devs of that game. they are awesome peeps

[lunar tundra]

I don't usually see the turtle on Mondays or Tuesdays my time.

[umbral ferry]

IRC is a specific protocol

[warm plover]

its on the internet, its a chat, and theres a relay. or something.
...i dont actually know what an irc is

[iron pagoda]

Does anyone remember a game called "Paper Boy"? That was awesome.

[long sundial]

Nice! I want to play one day, but that's all I'll say out of #🎮│other-games

[silent cairn]

helloooo, palians! 👋

[trail stirrup]

Yes

[iron pagoda]

🤐

[worthy rose]

Whirly is not a dev, he's a discord admin brought on to make the server run smoothly 😎

[trail stirrup]

On gameboy back in the day

[warm plover]

Good morning! I remember seeing you go to bed...

[fallow island]

👀 just checked and one of them is actually in this discord lol

[mighty cedar]

congrats to everyone who got in this wave! (yet) 🏄

[somber crag]

I really just meant that they were both on the Dev Team, LOL. I should've clarified, but ye. ❤️

[vast escarp]

A sign you've been up too long XD

[long sundial]

I'm still trying to get over the fact that it's Pay-leah, not Pal-eya.

[somber crag]

'Sup, @silent cairn

[carmine relic]

Good... uuhhhh... something-time-of-day

[fallow island]

wait- thats how its pronounced??

[mellow verge]

⌚

[worthy rose]

oh, yea! I just didn't want people thinking whirly was an S6 dev

[light tide]

no more invites going out?

[spring merlin]

I've been saying Pay-leah myself.

[pure jolt]

I'm callin it Pal-eya either way, you can't tell me what to do S6

[long sundial]

Yes

[somber crag]

Yeah, there were a couple of people that clarified back in the messages already! Thanks, tho.

[silent cairn]

Hehe, no no it is 10:27pm here already. I chatted a little in the morning, but was inactive as it was my birthday today. Sad that I didn't get a pre-alpha invite gifted but spent some nice time with old friends instead

[worthy rose]

reading is not my strong suite 😎 👉 👉

[long sundial]

HMMM, I don't know what to do with that info.

[warm plover]

I don't have a link handy, but you should be able to find a post on the Palia twitter about how to pronounce it. Go to the media tab and scroll super far down

[silent cairn]

How's it going, Anner?

[cold mesa]

Its PAY-lia because we are gonna swipe on this game 💳 🐳

[somber crag]

Being cool is your strong suite, tho. 👈 👈 😎

[fallow island]

nothing lol just a fun tidbit of info XD

[warm plover]

Ooh good evening then
Happy birthday!

[patent dust]

its posted in #❔│game-faqs

[spring merlin]

TRUTH

[somber crag]

Going well enough! Happy birthday, friend. ❤️

[warm plover]

You guys have suites?

[long sundial]

Happy Sane Day!

[umbral ferry]

Turning players into payers?

[ember onyx]

;o

[carmine relic]

I think I might have suites. I think... I'm not sure anymore.

[somber crag]

Suites, chairs, cat treats, and other things... yes.

[silent cairn]

Heh, thank you, guys! @warm plover @somber crag @long sundial

[warm plover]

CAT TREATS

[carmine relic]

Aces, spades, diamonds, and clubs. Sadly, I am named after Chess, not Poker.

[smoky radish]

Nap time, hope of getting an invite very improbable. No longer looking at my email

[chrome cipher]

Wishing everyone luck!

[olive heath]

https://twitter.com/playPalia/status/1400501903235051527 I think this was it.

[warm plover]

There are wizards in chess?
I'm just kidding I know about the Queen's Gambit

[long sundial]

Oops, I messed up my name

[warm plover]

or was it kings gambit?

[silent cairn]

Anner, how has your invite luck been? I know Rin has gotten the short end as well for now, but what about you

[hushed rampart]

It is Queen's Gambit.

[fallow island]

i feel that. i like talking a lot in game though when chat tends to have less peeps

[warm plover]

what do you mean, that one/it/they?

[trail stirrup]

Someone got in earlier who never spoke on here before

[carmine relic]

I am just a Gambit.

[smoky radish]

Quite a few have

[long sundial]

Those are my pronouns in order of preference.

[carmine relic]

Am I the one where you move a rook across the board or watch someone pull a questionable move? Nobody knows!

[warm plover]

Thanks!

[smoky radish]

There's no requirement to get an invite, just randomly sending them

[bold yarrow]

I got in the alpha.

[silent cairn]

yeah, this invite wave has been unrelated to discord activity.

[iron pagoda]

"randomly" pssht

[trail stirrup]

Doubt its random

[mighty cedar]

congrats!

[thick mountain]

Congrats!!!

[lusty dune]

My fiance got accepted and he hasn’t even chosen roles or spoken

[smoky radish]

Pseudo-random to make you happy. I'm too tired

[digital folio]

Now I'm anxious about getting the role too, haha

[celest maple]

It's probably not random, but that's okay. I trust they choose testers based on what's best for the game. 😁

[smoky radish]

Been farming loads until now with only an hour of sleep

[celest maple]

Well they probably get a random sampling of surveys, look over them to see which ones suggest a good candidate, and pick those.

[long sundial]

I didn't say anything here before I got the invite.

[somber crag]

I got invited. 💖 I feel kinda.. baaaaad.. about talking about it, 'cause I don't wanna rub salt in any wounds! But yes, I got invited. Am excited.

[olive heath]

I been waiting all morning for them to update, will take them time, just be paticent.

[mental geyser]

don't worry, I got email an hour ago, I have Aspergers, severe social anxiety and agoraphobia 😳 I am probably one of the most anti-social stinkies u'll ever meet lol

[smoky radish]

Nah, I cushioned my surveys quite well, no invite in either wave

[thick mountain]

Don’t feel bad! We feel happy for you!!

[umbral ferry]

How else? It supposedly includes website signups, so they only have mails (unless they try something silly like using geoip too)

[gray geyser]

Sounds random to me

[potent loom]

Hi

[raw quarry]

Nice Lovecraft name

[bold yarrow]

It's ok to be excited.

[azure fossil]

I honestly felt the same when I got mine. But I'm going at least use the experience to give input to make it a better experience for others later on.

[silent cairn]

I'm happy that at least some of the people I was hoping to see in game get invited.

[celest maple]

They most probably select based on what we type in the surveys. 😄 Some people mentioned that the process could be random, so I wanted to add to that.

[celest maple]

Well if my theory's correct then first you have to be randomly selected amongst the "hundreds of thousands" of applicants, then the surveys have to be good enough for an invite.

[umbral ferry]

But website signup didn't have a mandatory survey

[mighty cedar]

congrats to you too! don't feel bad, it's awesome! i will be there with you guys on day 1 💯

[upper monolith]

Congratulations to those who've gotten an email so far, and good luck to those still remaining! 🍀

[iron pagoda]

we still love you

[oblique oasis]

100% in the same boat but looking to do my best to improve things!

[trail stirrup]

They might have bots looking for certain words

[thick mountain]

Oof, mine was kinda crappy 😳

[glass fossil]

I don’t think Discord activity was taken into account this round.

[burnt wadi]

i posted a photo of Bucket and my other cats in #🐾│pet-pics for those who were interested in my profile pic btw

[somber crag]

I wholeheartedly agree, I just don't wanna be super like... in people's face about it, y'know. ❤️

[smoky radish]

Welp, that's the thing. I have the worst luck when it comes to this, and my cushioning didn't mean much in retrospect

[long sundial]

I wanted to know if there were other spectrum people here, but I wasn't sure if it was a demographic S6 cared about, so it wouldn't be relevant to ask.

[civic pelican]

I think a lot of us are of the mindset that it is okay if we aren't invited because there will be more chances in the future and eventually we all will be able to play the game. Congrats!

[celest maple]

I mean, the only reason I have this theory is because there's NO way they've looked through every survey. No way.

[celest maple]

No, but it had ways for people to elaborate on what they'd like about Palia, also how available they are and how much RAM they have.

[worthy fjord]

maybe we have an open beta we all can play

[icy wave]

have the second round of invites finished going out today?

[long sundial]

A Spook of taste, I see

[past terrace]

Yeah they said they chose from a combination of website sign ups and survey responses and probably some from discord as well

[umbral ferry]

No, it was literally just an email, the survey was an optional extra step

[upper monolith]

Correct, this time discord participation wasn't a factor! only in the first phase was it a small factor. (but not a major decision maker, many people got in who were lurkers)

[digital folio]

They said they'd announce when they were done

[remote latch]

there hasn't been a confirmation that they have finished sending them so assume not finished until it does

[silent cairn]

Did we figure out whether the invites are still mostly NA / NA only? I think I saw someone say they got an invite and that they're from Europe, but that's about all the anecdotal hope I have.

[bold yarrow]

valid I'm the same I just wanted yo give people hope cause if me of all people can get in then anyone can.

[umbral ferry]

When they announce it's over I'll just assume my email is a bit slow

[lusty dune]

My fiancé’s survey was one sentence long and he has never spoken or chosen roles in here and he was chosen so I think it was pretty if not entirely random.

[celest maple]

They said to give it 24 hours. If I haven't gotten anything by bedtime tonight I assume I'm not selected. Which is fine. 🙂

[mighty cedar]

I hope my survey answers weren't too crappy 😳

[smoky radish]

At this point, too exhausted to even think about getting invited anymore. I'll get in next year when the game's out or something, idk ;/

[somber crag]

Thank you for the reassurance, y'all. ❤️ I appreciate it! I'm not trying to imply that people shouldn't be excited about it, 'cause we should be! I just didn't wanna be too "in your face" about it... y'know.. remaining respectful. I know there are a lot of people wanting to get in. BUT YES. We will do the work and get it closer to being "ready" for everyone.

[potent loom]

Not me ... 🪨 🪨
Have fun, and report bugs 🐢 🐢 🐢 ❤️

[halcyon tiger]

If I got an invite from the last day's round, would I know by now? :x

[thick mountain]

I feel the same thing! I just wrote three lines

[delicate vapor]

im in bois

[mint kelp]

They announced when all wave 1 invites were sent, so I'd assume they would make an announcement for when all wave 2 is sent

[reef bay]

what if it was just a really really good sentence, you know, like a one line magnum opus

[celest maple]

I have to admit that I'm a bit jelly, but I signed up way too late so it's expected hah.

[smoky radish]

And to say, I did cushion the surveys just right for what they'd ever look for in it. Did them quite early too

[past terrace]

I think we're all stoked for anyone who gets invited, more people playing the better and it's exciting. Sure we can't wait to play too but it's awesome so many people will have a chance to test it

[untold edge]

Best of luck to everyone still waiting and congrats to those who made it in!

[umbral ferry]

They literally said they'll announce it

[raw quarry]

We're gonna need an announcement announcing the announcement of the announcement... I think

[lusty dune]

LOL I read it and it was literally “I like games like this” equivalent of a sentence

[thorny dune]

I don't think timing matters, if that's any consolation

[mighty cedar]

same here, I hope it wasn't required to write a lot more 😳

[burnt wadi]

I got an email and I wrote like a paragraph but idk if it made any difference.

[celest maple]

I didn't elaborate well enough then.

[delicate vapor]

just finish signing the NDA

[remote latch]

they usually alert everyone when they post .. so you will either see it flash up while in discord or you will see when you next come on discord

[patent dust]

we’ll update once the process has concluded.

[cold mesa]

I heard they will send out carrier pigeons to let us know

[vast escarp]

Mabye they chose the people with stand out survey answers and then just lotto'd the rest. But we'll never know sadly

[oak monolith]

Now join the waiting game for the role :)

[patent dust]

im just gunna post that every now and again lol

[smoky radish]

Nop. I think this round was mainly random

[vast escarp]

Ok, that makes sense

[mint kelp]

That's why I assumed they would announce it....because they said it lol

[burnt wadi]

In the survey I talked about My Time at Portia's combat system lol

[silent cairn]

yeah, I wish I hadn't joined the very next day after that first invite wave, haha. My experience in this discord has genuinely been an incredibly fun and comfy one, so I'll most definitely be sticking around no matter what for as long as it takes till release

[celest maple]

Heh, I talked about Breath of the Wild's combat system

[oak monolith]

It's not good to assume. That's how you make an ass outta u and me :)

[regal swallow]

Chapaa Express?

[patent dust]

it was not random

[manic osprey]

I went all out talking about Zelda o-o

[burnt wadi]

nice

[smoky radish]

Yap. I definitely think it was

[celest maple]

It's easy to gush about it...

So I signed the NDA, what do I do now?

[reef bay]

You know, it'd totally save like, a lot of time if the mods just took my word for it when I tell 'em I was like, totally selected

[worthy fjord]

I talked a lot about digimon world fishing...

[placid shoal]

you wait :)

[oak monolith]

Join the waiting game

[smoky radish]

Since it does look quite a bit random from around now 24 hours basically later still being awake lol

[celest maple]

That's the fun part! You don't do anything!

[vast escarp]

Hopefully we get more gameplay soon, so i can at least stare at it and pretend I'm playing

[vernal cairn]

you start dancing wooooo

[burnt wadi]

Unfortunately I didn't get into Zelda games until much later than most people (wasn't allowed to play games when I was younger), so I don't have as much to talk about for Zelda

[warm plover]

Wow you guys wrote about combat systems
I wrote about how I wanted to be able to be closer to my Pokémon in Pokémon games lol

[long sundial]

You've been up for 24 hours? Go to sleep

[void imp]

SAME, it was too violent because he has a sword

[patent dust]

just gotta wait now ^^

[fallen sun]

Asking about pre-alpha
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sX_sE31r9Q

[remote latch]

villager vote unbalanced again

[smoky radish]

Yes, been farming and doing other stuff in anticipation. But for a fruitless battle tbh

[long sundial]

How do y'all remember what y'all wrote about?

[manic osprey]

That is okay. Any Zelda is good Zelda! Except for Adventure of Link, we do not talk about that

[cold mesa]

Vibe and tell people "its NDA bestie" 💅

[burnt wadi]

for me it was because "girls shouldnt play video games" ugh

[mint kelp]

Don't worry, I wrote about life skill systems in PSO2 New Genesis and BDO lol

[umbral ferry]

fixed

[smoky radish]

Mainly for the farming aspect that I was doing

[celest maple]

I don't talk about video games much. /shrug

[glass fossil]

Random question… anyone remember/play Telengard? Yep I’m dating myself lol

[lone crane]

I take the time to constantly change my vote to prevent ashura from winning. The question mark is too suspicious.

[fallen sun]

These... are the faces, of evil!

[worthy fjord]

we need a vote for ❓

[mighty cedar]

i wrote about how much I love housing and how its missing in other games like WoW lol, I think I didn't talk about enough things, too little in general

[celest maple]

I am excited to join the waiting game. This game looks fun!

[versed sail]

What brain donor said that to you?

[bold yarrow]

I talked about ff14s housing system on my survey.

[lunar tundra]

I ranted about the garden paws storage system lol

[burnt wadi]

bio-dad, now estranged

[raw quarry]

This idea is a crime against humanity

[remote latch]

because it wasn't made up ... I named 3 games that I no longer played and what would have kept me there

[smoky radish]

It was too long ago to remember, but I sure did write an ear full

[celest maple]

Lol, I wrote about how the open world of Skyrim was baren and disappointing.

[past terrace]

Ahhh that's a good one!

[celest maple]

Wait, I cannot let Adventure of Link slander stand.

[vernal cairn]

i feel like im the only one who talked about terraria lol

[lone crane]

Zelda 2 is the best Zelda and hearing that chiptune palace theme play for the first time

[coarse viper]

I brought up Dark Souls in my alpha application

[warm plover]

[void imp]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[smoky radish]

I taked about it too Pixel

[umbral ferry]

I talked about Sakuna's farming

[thick mountain]

Wrote about how after a couple of years, Stardew Valley felt stuck in time and that AC didn’t have any late game content

[idle peak]

I talked about the sims and ffxiv i think..i do not remember

[burnt wadi]

yeah my bio-dad's family was very into gender roles and super religious. wasn't allowed to read harry potter until my mom divorced him either.

[oak monolith]

I wrote about what Valheim could have done that would have kept me playing it. I also wrote about Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing

[low token]

I talked about ArcheAge.. Good luck finding anyone who knows what that was

[celest maple]

Seriously the music was one of the best parts.

[slow idol]

I do remember a general sentence I wrote, not much after that. I definitely talked about stardew and the lack of relationship with your kids

[lone cove]

@thick mountain Solid points

[vernal cairn]

niiicee!

[rocky thistle]

I talked about xiv’s less than perfect housing haha

[short cove]

I talked mostly about ff14, how I've been playing since 2.0, how I wish there was more diversity in body types. I didn't really write write much

[olive heath]

You ever play an actual exploration game? That's pretty much all that there is, nothing but open space, requiring time to get from one place to another.

[past terrace]

I did the second survey just today because I didn't see it but I talked about how ff14 forces you to engage in combat dungeons to complete the story

[sinful ivy]

OMG I love archage! Haven't played in a while tho

[long sundial]

I didn't make it up, either, and I know that I said a lot, but I can't recall any details. I think that I mentions BotW and AC, and ArcheAge, but not much more

[oak monolith]

It's so dead now lol

[burnt wadi]

it's ok though, i started late in video games but i made up for lost time and play a ton now 😀

[manic osprey]

I have to, I am sorry. It is the worst

[long sundial]

I actually searched the server earlier to see if anyone else played it.

[lone crane]

I don't care if the game is hard as fuck, it was fun to finally clear the game and get to dark link. The hard work made the game way more fun the Zelda 1 😭

[old jungle]

I spoke about crafting systems in WoW FF14 runefactory and story of seasons and how they could've improved on the systems in my survey

[fallow island]

i had the literal exact opposite lol my dad rasied me on video games XD put me to sleep as a small bean with ocarina of time and let me play majoras mask as soon as i could hold a controller

[lone crane]

Ocarina of time still the best Zelda game anyways.

[celest maple]

"I just wonder what Ganon's up to!"

[modest dagger]

I'm super excited for the pre-alpha! I got my email earlier this morning. Haven't really talked much in here if at all before now ' v'
In terms of what i wrote for some desire for other games i've played, just like... more lore to the world and the state of it for stardew valley would've been loved. I love lore and worldbuilding to an extent, and while theory-crafting can be fun, there's a bigger part of me that also enjoys knowing the sorta canon.

[sinful ivy]

Oh, I absolutely bet!

[pine leaf]

anyone know when the next wave of invites goes out?

[burnt wadi]

i hope to be like this with my future kids

[floral cypress]

rn

[keen orbit]

Ah ArcheAge, the worst amazing game on the market.

[steep ridge]

unpopular Opinion - Wind Waker was great.

[sinful ivy]

Mine did the same, but with Diablo and Starcraft!!

[thick mountain]

After today? The first wave was a month ago or so with 200 people

[sand barn]

Thats not an unpopular opinion :o

[modest dagger]

Wind waker is my favorite zelda game o:

[coarse viper]

That is the least unpopular opinion ive ever heard, what are you on?

[celest maple]

Absolutely. One of the best. I prefer it to Ocarina.

[mighty cedar]

wind waker was awesome

[low token]

I dunno what servers you all were in for ArcheAge.. but I had a HUUUUGE bear farm... I miss them

[raw quarry]

Every girl I know that plays games got into them from an uncle, it's weird how consistent I've found that to be

[manic osprey]

Twilight Princess! Also, it is insanely hard, I will admit, but I think it is awful overall. I am sorry. I nod my head in defeat

[thick mountain]

So if they continue the pre alpha, maybe a month or so from now?

[versed sail]

Isn't it funny, the things people are afraid of? Harry Potter. Now, Twilight I understand. But who's afraid their kid will run away to try and become a wizard?

[celest maple]

I loved Skyrim back when it first came out, and still do to this day! But, I never liked exploring the world. I thought I just hated open worlds until I played Breath of the Wild. The open world in that game is amazing.

[lone crane]

Windwaker is good, fun. Ocarina blows all of them out the water.

[long sundial]

I wonder if I'll spend 2 hours of every session reading lore like I have in other games.

[fallow island]

ive broken the chain lol

[bold yarrow]

majoras mask was good too

[remote latch]

no idea if there will be for Pre-Alpha .. this wave was the last of the Pre-Alpha numbers they said they were doing .. whether they will raise that number and add more waves is up to them .. but hopefully you will get in during another test phase at a later date yet to be decided

[warm plover]

whats the zelda game with the big moon?

[burnt wadi]

witchcraft is against jesus or something idk

[random rampart]

is anyone that was invited to the second wave already in the pre-alpha channels? i'm so impatient 😅

[warm plover]

ive never played a zelda game

[fallow island]

my first three games were majoras mask on the n64, monster hunter freedom unite on the psp and warcraft on the psp!!!

[spark fractal]

Majora's mask @warm plover

[delicate vapor]

ocarina?

[patent dust]

first wave was invited 2 weeks ago exactly

[modest dagger]

I know i'm certainly gonna take my time reading up on what lore i can cx

[short cove]

im not, I don't think anyone is yet

[bold yarrow]

majoras mask

[versed sail]

I know the excuse they use, I just think it's such an irrational fear.

[thin venture]

📭 gang

[pine leaf]

okay thanks 🙂

[raw quarry]

My mind is blown

[sinful ivy]

People who's religious figures burned them at the stake

[burnt wadi]

my first zelda game was one on the Wii, can't remember which one that was tho

[long sundial]

Majora's Mask, I didn't get to play it.

[random rampart]

that puts my nerves at ease at least, ty

[steep ridge]

being raised on SC is both simulateously amazing and probably soul destroying at the same time. The difficulty of that for younger gamers

[thick mountain]

Oooh, we’re still in the middle of july 😳 mixed up the dates lol

[manic osprey]

Wind Waker was incredible! I had so many doubts before its release, as in, what are they thinking with the art? What a marvelous plot and characters within

[warm plover]

It sounds scary

[worthy fjord]

me too, don't find zelda lore and world interesting

[spark fractal]

Majora's mask is my favorite

[bold yarrow]

I've played them all up to breath of the wild. I think.

[sinful ivy]

The game I really miss, though: Bomberman on N64

[modest dagger]

one of the first games i remember playing was one of the generation 3 pokemon games on a gameboy advance. Grandma gave me the gameboy while she was cleaning the kitchen while mom came in and gave me the game.

[raw quarry]

One of the most unique game styles you can find, atmosphere was outstanding too, extremely spooky game

[worthy rose]

first zelda game I actually played was twilight princess

[thick mountain]

Is breath of the wild worth it? Never played a zelda game before

[sand barn]

Definitely had some creepy stuff

[mellow verge]

It took me a good decade to actually like the art lol
Though I think the wwhd on Wii u helped

[celest maple]

Speaking as a Zelda fan, the lore is not anything special.

[burnt wadi]

YES

[long sundial]

Seems like it might have been, yeah. I like scary, though.

[short cove]

oh my god second attack was so much fun

[versed sail]

My mother still won't go in the water because Jaws made her think every shark in the world was out there waiting to eat her. Probably why I became such a shark nerd.

[mellow verge]

You like Skyrim but also open adventure?

[steep ridge]

can i get a holla for all the Gamecube gang. cause im literally the only person i know irl who had a gamecube and not a xbox/ps2

[exotic schooner]

I miss Turok 2 on N64 hehe

[warm plover]

I don't know how to get into the series tbh. Dunno if I would even be into it since I didn't grow up with it

[west stream]

my mom still has recurring dreams of jaws attacking her

[long sundial]

Zelda CD?

[sand barn]

I still play on mine

[misty aspen]

it's kinda the Idea of zelda, rather than the lore, if that makes sense?

[void imp]

i think i got into it because my girlfriends had gameboys and playstations

[modest dagger]

i missed out on the gamecube and had to experience those games on the wii some time later 😔

[bold yarrow]

I still love ocarina it was so different then anything that had come before it was my childhood.

[burnt wadi]

i had a gamecube but it got fried when we were playing mario kart during a thunderstorm

[restive granite]

Gib me alpha key

[low token]

I had a Gamecube literally only for Animal Crossing and Maybe Harvest Moon?

[tired sierra]

well, still no email for me 😦 but ok, i guess 😦

[versed sail]

She refused to let me study marine biology. Actually yelled at me and accused me of trying to die via shark.

[fallow island]

ive played majoras mask and twilight princess but watched a lot of ocarina of time and the rest cause my bf is absolutely obsessed with them

[sinful ivy]

OMG I didn't have one but my Nana did, and there was a game I can't remember the title of but it was amazeballs Edit: Oops wrong person

[crisp wadi]

anyone know how long it takes to get key after i fill out nda

[west stream]

I still have my gamecube :D I still play melee on it sometimes!

[steep ridge]

not for SSBM ?

[mellow verge]

I've been playing Zelda since the nes so it's been fun watching the series change

[short cove]

definitely! it stands on its own without the context of the other zelda games, and its a gorgelusbworld to explore

[fallow island]

ooooh i used to play turok with my dad!!!!

[exotic schooner]

GOlden eye?

[worthy rose]

be patient young padiwan

[low token]

Nope I loved original Smash on 64, but not the melee one

[raw quarry]

My friend literally called his son Link

[bold yarrow]

my dad was obsessed with those games.

[lone cove]

Dedication

[burnt wadi]

my parents still have my brother's old SNES, i hope they didn't get rid of it

[steep ridge]

Zelda Williams is also a real person.

[regal swallow]

May i interest your other games talk to #🎮│other-games ?

[slow idol]

Robin Williams daughter

[thick mountain]

Yes!! Loved skyrim

[versed sail]

I hope we can swim underwater in game. And that there are sharks. Not to eat us, but to look at because they are beautiful.

[west stream]

they better not! its super expensive now!

[barren geyser]

Swimming is cool

[low token]

ok ok ok, I'll be back when i get my invite! Good Luck everyone

[celest maple]

Yeah we should move Zelda conversations to #🎮│other-games

[sinful ivy]

@steep ridge My Nana had a gamecube also!

[raw quarry]

I like you

[steep ridge]

dont worry my friend, this is all in creating expectations of Palia 😂

[worthy fjord]

and search for pearl, treasures or something

[warm plover]

My Discord or internet is screwing up phenomenally so I keep getting chunks of messages and then nothing for a while
So if I respond late thats why

[manic osprey]

Took a little while on this end as well, but it was appreciated! A different view in Zelda lore

[versed sail]

Oooh diving for treasure would be a great hobby!

[thick mountain]

Do you think they’ll post a gameplay trailer some time from now?

[burnt wadi]

they have no idea about how much that stuff is worth. unfortunately they live pretty far away from me now so it would be nearly impossible for me to get it back from them.

edit: it's possible that my brother took it when he moved out but we don't talk so idk

[celest maple]

Big agree.

[oak monolith]

Has anyone that got invited through this wave gotten their discord role yet?

[long sundial]

Do you like being silly? I spent so much time doing stupid shit and it was hilarious. I mean, using trick shots to solve puzzles has been popular on Youtube since the game was out. But... what about trick shots to throw a moblin as high as you can? What happens if you put a pot on one? Who complains about you walking nekkid?

[west stream]

when I moved from my last place, I threw out a Beauty and the Beast VHS... I later learned that it was worth like 800$

[spring merlin]

Not yet.

[long sundial]

We think they're waiting for all of the invites to be sent.

[burnt wadi]

holy cow i should tell my parents to mail me the old VHS tapes they still have lol

[lean acorn]

Nay 🙂

[fallow island]

im sorry they are worth how much now??? i used to use those as building blocks ;-;

[oak monolith]

Makes sense. I'm so excited about it

[burnt wadi]

nope not yet

[west stream]

certain disney VHS movies are crazy rare nowadays

[manic osprey]

No just waiting

[fallow island]

welp guess ill be checking out my massive vhs collection when i get home

[west stream]

Im holding onto my purple gamecube hoping that itll eventually be worth 1,000$

[burnt wadi]

i know for sure we had like old pokemon VHS tapes but i can't remember what else we had

[west stream]

the mewtwo one?? that was soooo good

[oak monolith]

I miss Mario kart double dash on the gc

[burnt wadi]

i dont remember lol its been so long

[slow idol]

That might be a better discussion to have in off-topic, or other-games

[versed sail]

I have one just for the old school Animal Crossing

[celest maple]

I wanna come back to this. I'm sure there will be a metric butt-load of stuff to just...see and experience in this game, considering its laid-back nature. I sure hope underwater stuff is part of that.

[long sundial]

A friend gave me a gamecube for my birthday one year, and he made me give it back, and it's going on two decades, and I'm still salty.

[west stream]

what? howd he make you give it back?

[thick mountain]

I LOVED the gamecube!

[versed sail]

I put a quick blurb in the suggestions channel

[raw quarry]

The prettier they make the water the better

[burnt wadi]

what kind of monster makes someone return a gift

[long sundial]

Well, he told me to. So I did.

[manic osprey]

My GCN has a Pokemon skin I won from Nintendo like waaaaaay back in the day. I think it was XD or DX or something?

[west stream]

thats so weird...

[west stream]

omg thats awesome youre so lucky

[celest maple]

Found and upvoted

[celest maple]

I mean, what's stopping them from putting beautiful coral reefs everywhere? A variety of underwater fauna?

[versed sail]

edited to include the fishums

[steep ridge]

i know Palia is less combat orientated, but i hope there is some simple stuff like zelda style. just to allow for puzzles and boss mechanics during exploration

[manic osprey]

I tried one time to remove it to try and preserve, and it is as though it is now fused, so they are one forever

please upvote my question in #851872239435644928. i wanna know what a group of chapaas is called

[long sundial]

He probably thought it was an evil scheme by a boy to get me indebted to him for, you know, adult stuff (we were in middle school). I'm pretty gullible, so he wouldn't accept it if I had told him that the kid was just a naturally kind person.

[low shore]

O

[long sundial]

A group of Chappas is a Chuu. That's how they end the war.

It's so simple!

Are chuu sure?

[steep ridge]

i dont know what chuu talking about

[modest dagger]

such a pretty sticker indeed... i love the colors and how simple it is.

[deft nexus]

What kind of pun would you chuuse?

[celest maple]

Sooooo, I asked earlier if there were any preliminary neighbourhoods popping up in preparation/hypetrain for the game this early, and someone said that there were a few. Are there any neighbourhoods here that I could join? 😊

[burnt wadi]

i'm in a server for The Wandering Compass

[steep ridge]

oh theres chuubacca

[celest maple]

I like the name! 😁

[burnt wadi]

if you want an invite, DM me

[sage sluice]

Should there be a neighbourhood recruiting channel?

[stark niche]

There's The Merchant Coalition if you're interested into being a merchant 👉🏼👉🏼

[steep ridge]

if anyone remembers the advert:

I LIKE TO CHUU IT CHUU IT! I LIKE TO! ... CHUU IT!!!

[raw quarry]

Oh god

[celest maple]

Advert? You know that's an actual song, right?

[burnt wadi]

The Wandering Compass is an exploration guild. We have a cool mascot drawn by a member's sister

[long sundial]

I thought that they weren't doing much in that regard, beyond an in-game economy.

[warm plover]

I think Nel once said that a group of Chapaas is called a Problem

[spring merlin]

I put a suggestion in #💭│discord-server-thoughts for them to possibly add a Neighborhood channel for us, so folks can seek and share Neighborhoods as they're created or have been! ❤️

[celest maple]

Oooh, that'd be cute!

[spring merlin]

Just to have a dedicated space.

[sinful ivy]

I am today-new so Idk what a neighborhood is. Can someone explain?

[spring merlin]

The equivalent of a guild. 🙂

[merry crater]

Someone has suggested that recently in the server suggestions iirc.

[celest maple]

It's Palia's name for guilds/clans.

[sinful ivy]

Oh, neat!

[warm plover]

its a guild

[surreal crest]

hello new friend!

[stark niche]

Well, it works as a guild as well. So events, group projects, bazaar/sale events and the stuff.

[spring merlin]

It would be rad to have a channel to like.. post if you're looking for one or if you've created one.

[simple fractal]

I am getting even more pumped for this game!

[hushed rampart]

How fun that's what clans are in Myst Online are too. 🙂

[long sundial]

Hmm... interesting. I think I might look y'all up after I play a bit and see what I like.

[pastel mason]

I'm flying solo during the alpha so being able to see what guilds people have created would be awesome!

[spring merlin]

I agree!

[steep ridge]

i now want to be able to re enact the chew it advert. waterski-ing as a dinosaur. is it human only in palia?

[vast niche]

So there will be guilds?

[simple fractal]

I hope I wont have to be Solo for pre alpha I wanna make friends :3

[warm plover]

obligatory "its a prealpha not alpha"

[burnt wadi]

play with me, i am also alone

[spring merlin]

I'd like to 👀 what Neighborhoods folks are making/planning.

[pale tartan]

I can't wait to help with the prealpha 😄 I don't have any idea what to expect but I'm so pumped!

[idle peak]

i wanna play with all

[steep ridge]

"lets be alone, together!"

[simple fractal]

😄

[warm plover]

You should expect lots of bugs and for your progress to be wiped afterwards

[simple fractal]

I got my Email today for the selection

[pastel mason]

some people don't understand the difference so just saying alpha is easier imo

[stark niche]

The goal is to kind of create a strong sense of community and kind of involve other players into it and making connections and so on 😌. Plus, democracy 👉🏼👉🏼

[pale tartan]

cheers to that I can't wait lol

[warm plover]

fair

[steep ridge]

ha jokes on them. means if i mess my stuff up like i always do. i get a free non payshop reset

[barren geyser]

@simple fractal Yay!

[simple fractal]

yea! :3

[steel canopy]

I hope they’re not finished sending out emails oh no

[void imp]

they'll issue another announcement and ping all

[patent dust]

we’ll update once the process has concluded.

[bright forge]

They will announce that

[deft nexus]

Even if they are, I'm sure there will be another wave in a few weeks

[long sundial]

They're not! Congrats! They will announce when it is over.

[crisp wadi]

if their thing of "a day" is 24 hours then they're about done

[cold mesa]

You can expect people to ask you questions to try and get info out of you

[crisp wadi]

i got mine in the last 15 mins tho so theyre def still sending them

[warm plover]

oops...

[deft nexus]

I don't plan to let many people know because of that reason.

[frosty dirge]

Who can I bribe for an inv? 😅

[simple fractal]

I cant wait to make a charachter 🙂 thats one of my favorite things in games

[fallow island]

Well theres also the nda

[steep ridge]

oh, this might be better in questionsbut it will forsure get noticed here quicker. will we have much control over the world itself? eg making the grass blue or removing/replacing trees?

[cold mesa]

My message wasnt directed at anyone LMAO

[oak monolith]

I'd imagine you can expect to still be eligible to receive an invite until they say they've finished with invites.

[simple fractal]

yep im assuming they are looking over them atm

[patent dust]

theres the NDA but people will (and have) still asked us for info haha

[pale tartan]

I mean idk who would ask me xD besides I won't tell a thing

[warm plover]

ahaha i know im just thinking about the embarrassing incident from earlier 😶

[burnt wadi]

if people ask me questions imma just make random stuff up to answer lmao

[fallow island]

I was mainly saying that towards the comment that said they wont talk about it because people would bother them about it lol

[simple fractal]

Lol

[past terrace]

Woo there's still hope! haha

[empty matrix]

why havent I died yet

[simple fractal]

I will just be like What game are you refuring too?

[deft nexus]

"What's the crafting system like?" "You know how chewbacca shaves his hair? Like that."

[bright forge]

[thorn needle]

Are invites still being sent out?

[long sundial]

I've spent the day in this chat and barely eating (I have no hunger, but I've finished breakfast). I keep thinking about taking care of some chores, but... what if they make the announcement and change roles while I'm gone? I have to download as soon as it's physically possible!

[warm plover]

You probably shouldn't do that since it affects the image of the game

[steep ridge]

Chuubacca, this is palia afterall

[burnt wadi]

twas a joke but yeah for sure

[bright forge]

yes

[warm plover]

sorry i wasnt sure

[burnt wadi]

no worries!

[simple fractal]

or just respond with Animal nosies

[deft nexus]

Very true!

[void imp]

last time it was days before the testers got to download the game

[burnt wadi]

what if i just talk about another game entirely if people ask

[bronze yoke]

im so sorry if this question has already been answered, but i literally just got in the chat, i got an invite for pre-alph, i signed the NDA and everything. am i now waiting for a 2nd email for instructions on how to download or is there something else i need to do? 😮

[burnt wadi]

for now, we wait

[pale tartan]

waiting

[simple fractal]

well people might get angry andd spread lies that Palia is stealing form other games

[burnt wadi]

good point, i must think of another plan

[bronze yoke]

💕 thank you!

[cold mesa]

I don't recommend it. People will take that as "oh so you confirm its NOT in the game" and it just causes a mess

[simple fractal]

haha just go EEEK and run away

[somber crag]

[sturdy tundra]

Uuuggghh still hoping. Fingers crossed.

[viscid horizon]

isn't there a nda emoji?

[burnt wadi]

maybe ill just send them pics of lawyers

[slow idol]

Just either dont reply, or send gifs of NDAs. You could also close DMs so people cannot message you in general

[raw quarry]

''Game#s good, I picked Squirtle as a starter''

[long sundial]

Oh, yeah, so, I've found out that does , and I found out that is in the game! How awesome is that? Also, to answer your question, it's a solid in regards to what's in the game.

[stable oar]

You have time for chores, trust me lol.

[warm plover]

This one is good

[bright forge]

[fallow island]

Best response to peeps asking questions when you are under an NDA is just no response

[worthy fjord]

I suggest answer those question about the game with a funny gif

[long sundial]

Great minds

[simple fractal]

rofl that is great, get an animal in a suit andd tie with a law book photo

[long sundial]

[spring merlin]

[simple fractal]

oh no we started emote spam

[lone cove]

Maybe this is a dumb question, but can you say if you were selected for pre-alpha? Or is even that a no?

[cold mesa]

[surreal crest]

[cyan ruin]

[burnt wadi]

why isnt there a gavel emoji

[crisp wadi]

is that chapaa hairless

[spring merlin]

LOLOL

[stable oar]

[quasi stone]

[somber crag]

You can, yes!

[viscid horizon]

I think you can. I don't see why not

[burnt wadi]

you can say if you got in yeah

[surreal crest]

🪑

[long sundial]

If we can't, a LOT of people are going to be disappointed.

[serene stratus]

[simple fractal]

people have been all day? so its prob fine

[raw quarry]

Omg I love this emoji now lmao

[void imp]

you can check even by clicking peoples profiles, testers have a role

[crisp wadi]

theres a discord role, so its fine, you just cant talk about the game itself

[burnt wadi]

yeah if we arent allowed to say we got in, im def going to palia jail

[lone cove]

@void imp Alright, so that's a pretty clear indication, haha

[keen orbit]

Considering testers have a role on the server that identify them as testers, yea I'd say its probably safe to tell people you're a tester.

[long sundial]

Sorry, sir, that chair is

[void imp]

they have beige bellies

[simple fractal]

I dont have the roll yet I had to give my Discord in the NDA

[stable oar]

Thats pretty much public info, so yeah its fine.

[surreal crest]

oh snap, good thing I don't have alpha access haha

[spring merlin]

Yeah, 2nd roll of invites still waiting on the roles, I think.

[slow idol]

Give them a bit to get it all done!

[simple fractal]

ah ok 🙂

[viscid horizon]

same, I'm so excited

[stark niche]

Have we not reached 24 h yet?

[long sundial]

Indeed, chair away!

[slow idol]

Im sure its a lot of work in the background

[bright forge]

1h to go

[surreal crest]

don't tell the insides of the NDA

[simple fractal]

So exciting cant wait to meet people and explore the world

[long sundial]

No, another hour or so, but it might take a bit later.

[rose bison]

Well cibgrats at least you got the key xD

[simple fractal]

xD sorry

[void imp]

i think they kept it vague with "a day" on purpose

[surreal crest]

np it's for your own good. What's inside NDA is under the NDA itself

[serene stratus]

YALL I got an email that no joke, the subject is "You've been selected and we're counting on your response...." it was a political email 😩

[stark niche]

Ah, well, no reason to be too obsessed with time then. It comes when it comes 🙏🏼

[simple fractal]

XD ok

[cold mesa]

bestie you gotta be careful with what you say

[keen orbit]

Oof

[viscid horizon]

dang

[somber crag]

What a tease. >.<

[serene stratus]

For real

[long sundial]

The is , but you can talk about s in general or the fact that the game has one.

[mighty cedar]

I've literally got an email with the subject "You're in" earlier today, but it was a random scam mail lol

[bright forge]

I know but it's just fun to have given time for me

[burnt wadi]

is it bad that i didnt actually read the NDA but just signed it like a terms and conditions thing

[cyan ruin]

yes

[serene stratus]

lol

[bright forge]

yes

[burnt wadi]

oops

[halcyon palm]

You should read it

[simple fractal]

I mean you should read it o.o

[slow idol]

yes, go read that please

[spring merlin]

[stark niche]

👁️👁️ You should read it

[lilac sundial]

Oof

[somber crag]

Give it a thorough reading. Once, twice, maybe even three times.

[burnt wadi]

i mean i have signed NDAs before. i get the gist of it

[cyan ruin]

Please guys, take NDAs seriously. Read it thoroughly, sign NOTHING unless you agree to it fully.

[long sundial]

It's only pages, so I think you should take the time to read it.

[agile cape]

To be fair it was just a lot of lawyer jargon

[surreal crest]

you need to read it

[deft nexus]

You should read the NDA. And Terms & Conditions.

[mint steppe]

Hi all!

[serene stratus]

Life pro tip

[lilac sundial]

I wish they had an NDA in laymen's terms

[slow idol]

Honestly you should be reading any document you need to sign.

[simple fractal]

Hello Tophi

[deft nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-wave-cute-anime-cartoon-gif-7537923

[buoyant sinew]

I don't want to be rude, but seriously guys, it's an actual legal document afterall..

[somber crag]

They'll all have different terms of what you can/cannot say, though. Don't make any assumptions, 'cause it could end up hurting you in the end. Read it, bb. ❤️

[worthy fjord]

so many new people in discord with today batch

[fallow island]

It's still good to always read through legal documents your signing

[elder scaffold]

You can say you got in, as you are tagged anyhow on discord. You however CANNOT disclose any other info. That includes the NDA!

[azure fossil]

NDAs are hella importante my friend.

[burnt wadi]

ok fine ill read it

[agile cape]

“Rule one about fight club. Don’t talk about fight club.”

[mighty cedar]

never sign anything you didn't read thoroughly

[lilac sundial]

I don't speak lawyer talk

[chrome wadi]

You now belong to Palia.

[iron pagoda]

Well, no invite and it looks like it's my bedtime: Goodnight everyone! .. Goodnight S6 .. walks slowly to the door, pauses Looks over my shoulder at S6 .. sad chapaa eyes

[burnt wadi]

i mean i read all my mortgage docs but NDAs are usually pretty straightforward idk

[fluid stream]

So do we not know the price of the game yet?

[slow idol]

Goodnight Pryce!

[brave nimbus]

free to play

[somber crag]

There's technically still time, but goodnight! ❤️

[lilac sundial]

I've never done a pre alpha before. Do they only give us a small window to test?

[fluid stream]

no wayt

[granite pagoda]

Definitely would read it before you go any further.

[warm plover]

I guess I'll be going to sleep too. Goodnight!

[long sundial]

I mean, I can't confirm that that's what's in the NDA, but it's safe for what's in most NDAs.

[raw quarry]

Night Mr Pryce

[dusk portal]

You need to read it

[mint steppe]

Night Rin!

[somber crag]

Bye, best boi. 👋

[cyan ruin]

their NDA can literally tell you you aren't even allowed to refer to the game by its name. It's very important to read them

[buoyant heath]

We do not

[fallow island]

Depends what the dev team needs and decided to allot for time

[fluid stream]

oh great

[long sundial]

Goodnight Best Boi!

[buoyant sinew]

Considering the legal status of a NDA, how's the legal side when it comes to minors? Excluded? I'm just curious, since in my country a minor can't sign such an document without the approval of his guardians, ie. parents.

[faint dragon]

Goodnight everyone sleeping, enjoy

[mighty cedar]

I'm gonna have to sleep soon as well, another doctors appointment tomorrow, ugh, I hate it

[serene stratus]

I'm reminded of the scene in A League of Their Own , where the girls are protesting about playing baseball in short skirts. And the manager says look gals, there are 75 ladies headed home that'd play in bathing suits if I ask them 😆

[agile cape]

You’d have to read the NDA to know for sure, but generally yes

[lean acorn]

Isn't that why they asked for you age? I assume if you're too young they just disqualify you

[slow idol]

I hope you sleep well and good luck at that appointment!

[fallen sun]

https://i.imgur.com/6Kn0iIC.png

[buoyant sinew]

I'm not a NDA recipient btw, and am well over any age restrictions. I'm just curious in general.

[lavish hull]

I totally forgot about waiting for the email until just now. No email though 😢 We will all get to play eventually at least!

[mighty cedar]

thanks Astro

[rose bison]

I know your pain :c

[agile cape]

Happy 4:20 everyone
