Early Access has been announced for June 18th




3 price tiers (price converted from Euros)

$109 for the top founders pack that comes with 4 plots of land

$65 for the mid tier, 2 plots and a couple cosmetics

$44 for bottom tier, 1 plot of land



# CAN I PURCHASE MORE THAN ONE FOUNDER’S PACK?
You can’t have more than one license on a Pax Dei account, and all your characters will have the recipes from the Founder’s Packs.
That being said, if you create a second Pax Dei account, you can buy a Founder’s pack for this second account.

# CAN I PLAY SEVERAL CHARACTERS FROM MY ACCOUNT AT THE SAME TIME?
A given account can only have one character in the game at a given time.

#WHAT’S A “CHARACTER SLOT”?
The number of character slots defines the maximum number of characters a given player’s account supports - with each character occupying one slot.

In a game without classes, additional characters allow players to explore, join other clans, or meet new friends.


# FAQ

# WHY AN EARLY ACCESS?
Our game requires a community to come alive. We’ve reached the stage where we need a live game to keep developing. The feedback we’ll receive from our Founders will help shape what the game will look like at launch.

We’ll also reinvest the revenue from Early Access into making the game better and bigger, fulfilling our vision of a living and breathing world that can be your virtual home for years.

In every way, Pax Dei will only exist with the support of its players.

#WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATE OF THE GAME?
Pax Dei is still heavily in development and not yet feature-complete. We expect all aspects of the game will require balancing and polish. Throughout Early Access, we plan to expand the game in terms of content and systems. Check our website and Discord for the latest updates on our progress.


# WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY WIPING THE GAME? HOW OFTEN WILL THAT HAPPEN?
Throughout Early Access, as we expand the game both in terms of content and systems, we anticipate major updates that will require us to reset the game entirely and start over.

That being said, we will do our best to keep such wipes as few and far between as possible.

Ideally, we will also try to do them only partially: major changes on the terrain of the Home Valleys could lead to a reset of all the plots, but not to your characters. Some deep changes in the skill systems or the crafting progression could lead to a reset of the characters but not the plots…

At least one complete wipe/reset will occur just before the full release, and it should be the last one, as we don’t plan to wipe once the game is no longer in Early Access - once it is fully released.

#I PURCHASED A FOUNDER’S PACK, WHERE DO I START PLAYING?
**On the Pax Dei launcher**: You’ll need to install our launcher. You can find the link on our [Support site](https://support.playpaxdei.com/hc/en-us/articles/16448792422301) if you did not pick it up on the download page after your purchase.

Launch it, and log in with the Pax Dei account you used to make your purchase. The game will be available at the start of Early Access.

**On Steam**: When Early Access starts, you will receive a Steam key on the email address you used for the purchase, including all the instructions to redeem your game copy. To activate it, click the “Games” menu option at the top of the Steam client, choose “Activate a Product on Steam,” and paste your key in the dedicated field. Pax Dei should be available to download in your library.

Learn more on our [Support Site](https://support.playpaxdei.com/hc/en-us/articles/16448792422301).

# CAN I GIFT A FOUNDER’S PACK?
Sadly, our system does not handle gifting.


**Pax Dei will enter Early Access on June 18th.** The game is still in Alpha, heavily in development, and not yet feature-complete (as we write this, our teams are furiously making fixes and improvements based on the feedback of the recent public test). We also reached the point where we need to see it live to keep developing it.

**Help us build the virtual world you can inhabit for years to come.** Your feedback during Early Access will be invaluable in shaping the final game. We’ll also reinvest the revenue from Early Access into making the game better and bigger. Your support doesn't just keep the lights on; it fuels our passion to create a vibrant, warm, and living world.

**Ready to embark?** Pax Dei Early Access is available for pre-purchase starting today on Pax Dei - Social Sandbox MMO and will be playable on PC, via Steam or the game’s dedicated launcher. Check the Early Access page for all the info about our Founder’s Packs and a detailed FAQ.

We’ll be back in the coming days with more details about the game's state, our roadmap for Early Access, and some early thoughts about what the first big update will focus on.

And before that, **head’s up!** We are planning an event in partnership with some of your favorite content creators. It’s coming ~~before too long~~ very (very!) soon. Stay tuned!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all the support. We can't wait to see you in-game!

After playing beta, it's not really my kind of game. I prefer a more traditional combat heavy MMO, but I am interested to see what becomes of this: I liked the scale and look of the world and think it's a neat idea.

Are they doing a subscription? I doubt it?

The discord community seems to think they may lean that direction but they haven’t officially said anything. It’ll be that or a cosmetic store I’m sure.

So in those Asmon videos where they made a mega castle, are they just all separate land plots and you can literally just build edge to edge on them, or were land plots disabled?

Game seems less interesting if a guild can’t make some giant ass city

everyone in a guild can build on each others land. So that was the product of everyone putting their plots all together side by side to make a huge area they could build on.

I think the model they are going with for pre-release is flawed and comes off as a money grab, which I'm sure it is in part. After this long, funds are probably getting thin and they could use the cash.

For those not knowing, the package you buy now for EA (1, 2 4 plots of land) is only for EA, and after EA they are looking at a sub-fee that will scale with how many plots of land you want. I think this will limit how many people buy the 4 plots now as I was going to but now will stick with 2 I think. They give you the ability to upgrade at any time but since I was used to two, that's what I'll start with I think.

Its not game-impacting in terms of a P2W and outside of how large you can build solo, it again means nothing. But I think it's going to scare people aware from the 4 plot purchase for EA.

Update from the Dev team regarding the EA starting June 18th 2024


Hello again Paxians,
:pxdflagred:
We know you are all very eager to have the list of shards that will be open on June 18 at the start of Early Access to better organize with your clan members and fellow companions of adventure, so, here is it!

Important notes - make sure to read!​

  • The shards will be in 3 distinct geographical regions: NA (East), EU, and SEA (Singapore).
  • There will be RP (aka roleplay) shards as well, for those who’d want to explore Pax Dei with a roleplay touch. HOWEVER, we won’t enforce any specific rule on these shards, and there won’t be RP-specific moderation either. We trust our community to behave as they should and not disrupt the RP adventures of others. If you don’t want to RP, you have other shards to play on.
  • We will closely monitor each shard's population and open new ones as needed. Keep an eye on this Discord and the support site for announcements.

List of shards to open on June 18​

  • NA (US East)
    • Prometheus
    • Freyja
    • Selene
    • Cernunnos
    • [RP] Danu
  • EU Central
    • Tyr
    • Hecate
    • Fenrir
    • Dagda
    • [RP] Demeter
  • SEA (Singapore)
    • Morana


    • You can create a character on the shard you’d like, even if you don’t live in the geographical region where it is located.

      Also, your account is not bound to a single shard or region. You can create your characters in different regions, and if you have multiple plots, you can also claim them in different regions.

      Example: You have the Artisan pack and two plots available. You could create a first character on Fenrir (EU), claim one plot here, and create a second character on Selene (US) and claim your second plot on it. At this point, you can still create other characters on other shards and regions, but you can only claim a new plot once you have released one of the previously placed plots.

      Note, however, that they are not interconnected and that, as of now, character transfers are not available.

      ⚠️ For those of you who have the client installed from previous test sessions, we highly recommend uninstalling it and redownloading it on launch day to avoid any issues.

Will this be like New World, where you get to pay for the pleasure of constant daily quests just to pay land tax or lose your shiat? Sounds neat! lol
