After a complete rewrite to get back to a workable, clean code base, Dragon Scourge is finally playable again. Thanks to everyone for your continued support throughout development and while the project was on extended hiatus. Now that most of my other projects have been completed, I am finally able to get back into Scourge.
There are a couple things you need to know about the beta before playing.
First, it may not be entirely stable. Beta versions, by definition, need to be tested and fixed. While I've tried to fix as many bugs as I can find to make it stable and playable, there are bound to be a few things I simply didn't notice. Scourge went through an extensive private alpha process, and I want to thank all of my testers for your help. They helped me keep each new build stable and as complete as possible. As I write this post, though, the new build that you are about to play (Beta 1, Build 06) didn't go to my private testers first. Everyone is seeing this at the same time. And it's a pretty damn big change, because it now includes PVP and Spells, two features which were never included in the Alpha testing. So I haven't gotten the opportunity to have multiple people looking at it and playing it until now. My private group will have some more testing opportunities in the future, but I felt that, because I took so very long in getting this out, everyone should be able to see it and play it at once, just so you know it's really not vaporware.
Second, I can't stress enough that the reason I'm releasing this is for TESTING. I need reports on any possible problem with the game. And please be very descriptive when reporting things. If you get some sort of server error message, please include it in your description. If something doesn't look quite right, or doesn't act the way you think it should, be specific with how you describe it. It will help everyone in the end.
Third, consider yourself warned that users/accounts may be reset at any time. I think by this point the database structure is MOSTLY finalized, but there are still a few things that need to be added (most notably, the storyline) which may necessitate a user/account reset in order to get everyone back on the same page.
Ok, that's pretty much it, I think. I may come back and update this post later. For now, though, please enjoy the game!

I love the game however I encountered a problem when trying to make a new guild.
Error
You cannot join a guild until you are at least Level 35. Please continue playing until you make Level 10, then try again.
as far as I can see the highest ranked player currently is level 29

No shit.. Ive already pointed this out to Jamin and hes fixed it but he hasnt changed the online beta yet. Also, keep in mind, ITS PRETTY DAMNED SIMPLE! You have to be level 35 to join a guild.
