NDA is in place. Honestly been out due to work and haven't been able to mess around on it much.
From the New World Discord server:
To clear up some current concerns and misconceptions that may be lingering in the air...
1.) Alpha testers are under NDA, so they cannot talk about whatever they in particular have access to. This in particular means the contents and details of the game.
2.) Invitees were provided a launcher for download. The game client will appear there when they are entitled to it.
3.) Alpha testing invites will be done in waves, with this being the first round to get things started.
Not much, but something I guess.
