Alpha Testing Applications Open #2 ~!
Applications for closed alpha testing phase #2 for Hippogriff Haven are officially open! Applications will be open from this Friday March 26th until next Friday April 3rd, closing at midnight before the 4th server time- so if you’d like a chance to join, please don’t wait too long to put your name in.
We've made a lot of progress since we last opened applications at the end of January- and we feel we're ready for a new set of players to test what we have so far, and the progress that we've made!
Here is just a shorted list of the updates we've added to the site since we let the first round of Alpha testers join in February- and these don't include the various bug fixes that we've completed since then either!
Added in the ability to toggle off automatic names for adopted pets, along with the ability to mass rename and remove names from your hippogriffs.
Added in the swap meet- the central hub for all trades and swaps between users!
Added in new stats tied to jobs, along with some long term achievements and daily errands for these stats.
Added in the ability to leave comments on a profile.
Added in the ability to send private messages to other users.
Added in the ability to customize your profile links with a selection of various button widgets.
Added in the ability to take out a specific amount if items from your produce item.
Added in the ability to change your patronage, along with the required special scroll item and shop to buy this item from in the new location Caelurbis City.
Added in the ability to auto-sort your pets in your city districts automatically, and improved the sorting system to be slightly more responsive.
Adjusted drop rates of rarer items to be more common depending on the level of a champion gathering.
Added in 2 new pet colors, along with testing the 'special drop' system where colors drop for a limited few days.
Added in seeds to crafting and soups to cooking, along with adding in crafting and cooking recipes to the item guidebook so you know exactly where an item comes from!
To apply, please fill out the Google Form here. If you’re selected, keep an eye on your email in the following week for a unique invite code. Codes will be sent directly to the email you apply with, so please double-check it before submitting. Not everyone who applies is guaranteed a slot in the alpha- but we try to accept who we can! The form will automatically close before April 4th according to server time (just check the clock on the site!), so apply before then if you're hoping to join! Also please note- all of your account data and progress during this time will be deleted before Beta testing. We also do not have any guaranteed limited rewards for joining our alpha (yet), so please keep in mind that you are playing just for fun!
Closed alpha is for testing, so you should expect rough edges, balance adjustments, missing art in places, general unfinished feelings, and the occasional “that definitely wasn’t supposed to happen” bug. The upside is that you’ll be helping shape the site while it’s still early, and your feedback will directly influence what gets polished for beta. If you’d like to be one of the first to explore the Haven, fill out the form. Then check your email over the next two weeks to see if you’ve been chosen for an invite code.
