[DSO] Question about beta status

Out of pure curiosity, after following the game for a few months now:

This game (TSO) is essentially the same as the german version (DSO or Die Siedler Online). Obvious question is, while the latter has been around for a year already (with numerous players already at level 50, all the content explored etc), why is the english version in beta phase?

Also, as this seems to be a stand-alone game, are you planning to ever allow any option of moving the accounts from german version without losing anything (namely real money invested, lvel 5 upgrades or late game buildings and resources) or will you require players to start new accounts just to play another language version of th same game (regardless of the amount of time invested)?

hoping for a quick answer

BR,

Hi Sparkz,

First of all, as we have moved the game to a new server, it's obviously in "beta" phase as we need time to check if everything is working properly. We need time to find and correct the possible bugs that could exist on this server that might not be on other servers.
Moreover... When talking about an "online" game, where you get new stuff in all the time, my opinion is that the game is always in a beta phase (but that's just my opinion x)).

As for your second question, for now it is not possible and I don't know if BB are planning on making it possible any time soon. You have to start from scratch for the moment.

Hope this answers your questions :)

Will the game reset when going to full version?
So wouldn't it be wise to spend on diamonds already?

How long does a world 'last'?
Forever?

No reset, you'll be able to continue playing with what you have built so far :)

Apparently not Up, we should still keep our islands.

I wish the store would open already. Need to buy some licenses. Used all mine up and I want to expand in my newly acquired territory.

And how long will the servers last? Forever?

That I am not sure of.
