The Quinfall is set for its second closed beta test soon, developer Vawraek announced.
The team is now taking applications for the second test, announcing on the game’s Discord that they would be inviting a total of 10,000 testers this round. The next test will also be embargo-free, so those who get a chance to jump into the world and test the game can tell all about their experiences. The rule applies to both details of the game as well as sharing visuals, so it looks like the team is getting ready for more of The Quinfall to be out there in the world.
In announcing the beta, they also called on community creators to respond, so we can expect that feedback as well.
The Quinfall team has previously released a team Q&A to answer some community questions and criticism over presentations and teasers that were perceived as more along the lines of hyperbole. This extended to the size of the world, that the team had been calling the biggest MMORPG world ever. In that Q&A, they did reveal what they were working with and the size of the world.
With a new test without NDA that all will be welcome to share, it will be the most in-depth look at the game that we’ll see so far. This could go a long way in answering lingering questions in the community about whether the game is as promised. The Vawraek team has seen criticism, but sometimes the best way to dispel rumors and skepticism, is through showing off what you’ve got.
For The Quinfall, a new opportunity seems to be just around the corner. Those interested can apply via this form.
