Review: Forsaken World Closed Beta Phase 1

As closed beta phase 1 closes I felt it appropriate to summarise my thoughts and feelings on the game to date. Phase 2 starts on the 24th November so I would like to wish everyone good luck at being invited to join us!

Part 2 of Phase 1 Closed Beta: PvP-fest

Well, it has been a few days since Phase 1 closed beta entered it's second part. Level cap was increased up to 30 which unlocked several new PvE goodies (pet instance and Lost Lighthouse) and also brought to the fore, the PvP.

Daily Quest and Daily Event Guide

Sunshine13 of the Forsaken World Forums has allowed me the great pleasure of posting their guide on my blog. All credit goes to sunshine13 for this fantastic guide to most of the daily quests in the Forsaken World realm. All work below is that of sunshine13, not my own.

More Phase 1 closed beta Invites are set out!!

Direct from crabclaw, an Administrator on the Forsaken World Community Forums, additional phase 1 invites have been sent out!

Forsaken World: Bard Skill Overview, you say? Music to my ears!

The Bard... a Hybrid class without a place in the Forsaken World society to call home... Let's make them a force to be reckoned with and let's start with a guide that will suit any Bard up to level up 40, covering all of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of closed beta.

Forsaken World: MEDIC!!! Err I mean PRIEST!!!

This guide was compiled by one of my friends and a user of the Forsaken World forums, who also participates in Phase 1 of their closed beta testing. Their wish was for me to use my blog as a platform to present their guide.

Forsaken World: Subclass Guide (Basics)

Following on from my previous guide based around creating a deodorant potion via the Alchemy skill (found here), I thought I would write up a basic guide to explain what the available subclasses are and do, mostly pertinent for those of you not in Phase 1.

Forsaken World: Crafting Guide

From my observations over the course of phase 1 beta from in-game, over the forums and the websites I frequent, there seems to be a lot of people unsure of how to craft and a boatload of the unlucky people who didn't make it into phase 1 desperate to see more detail on how it works and the mechanics of it (for training porpoises and other pets... see what I did there?)

Forsaken World: The Vampire and the Bard

Two hybrid classes, much maligned for being too much in the middle and not specialised enough, have been taken for a test drive by myself over the past few days since Phase 1 of closed beta started. I thought I would do a brief writeup of how the classes handle themselves and fit in thus far.

PWE apologises for Beta 'confusion'

Doing the honourable thing PWE have apologised for the 'confusion' surrounded Forsaken World beta. Below is an email sent out to everyone who obtained a beta key:

Forsaken World: Pets, SubClasses and the joys of being a Beta Tester

Well I am back as promised, bearing the fruit of my labours as a Forsaken World Phase 1 beta tester and I have long awaited news about both the pet system and the subclass system.
