Eternum: OktoberTest

Schedule yourself an armor fitting, my lord, Eternum is coming at you with sword swinging. We invite you to join your fellow Lords for OktoberTest.

What is the Eternum OktoberTest?

Ready for battle? Ready for banter? OktoberTest is raucous celebration of life and death in Eternum, washed down with ale, served with good company.

There are streams, player challenges, community events - including game design briefings, economic reviews, play-alongs with the game’s developers - and the chance to earn a little beer money.

Sounds like a bit of you, my lord? Head to the discord. Play the latest version of Eternum.

You do not need to be a Realm owner to play in the Eternum OktoberTest. You will be assigned a Realm when you first play. The OktoberTest of Eternum takes place on a free-to-use testnet and there are zero in-game wallet transactions thanks to the Cartridge Controller. Let’s raise a toast to frictionless UX!

What type of game is Eternum?

Eternum is a real time strategy MMO that will feel familiar to those who have played other strategy games. You will understand the game and be up and running quickly.

What we set to experience together is how a competitive multiplayer grand strategy game plays out when it is running on an open network. Anyone can make a prediction about how players will act, but it can't be know what will truly happen until the game is in production.

There is a wildness to a blockchain-based game that cannot be compared to one running on a publisher’s centrally administered server. We expect players to push the boundaries of this mercurial world — and expand it — in ways no one has yet imagined for a strategy game, writing stories onchain, imperishably, and forever.

What’s the goal of OktoberTest?

OktoberTest will beat you gently, easing you into the new world. You will learn about the game from devs and other players, compete in a low stakes environment, develop allies and enemies - toasting both with a beer in the Fool & Flintlock, the Realms pub, which will be open day and night in the discord.

Playtesting is the best way to improve Eternum. Get into the world and start exploring. Playing, and giving feedback, will speed up the hunt for a release candidate of the game. And its OktoberTest, so have fun doing it 🍻

OktoberTest Event Schedule

Over the opening days it will be low key streaming sessions - drop in, or stream your own gameplay. Got questions? Ask them to the devs and community.

Events to be scheduled will include game design briefings, social play sessions, pop-up challenges with rewards. Events take place in Discord. It’s OktoberTest, so please bring your own stein, ml.
