Dear friends,

Thank you for your incredible interest in the project!
We haven’t even launched our main marketing campaign yet, but the results we’re seeing already make us very happy — and all of this is thanks to you. Without your support and involvement, this wouldn’t be possible.

Project Concept

We are conducting large-scale testing so that you can experience the updated content.
The world of Ascaron has been significantly changed — new locations, redesigned quests, and improved balance.
However, new doesn’t mean bad.
Our concept is “old-new” — preserving the spirit and atmosphere of the beloved Tales of Pirates, while adding depth and modern gameplay.

Test Dates

Start: November 2 at 18:00 (UTC+3)
End: November 5 at 20:00 (UTC+3)

This test will be closed and available only to guild members.

We understand that many of you play without a guild, and we want to emphasize: you are equally important to us!
This is only a temporary measure to make feedback collection more organized at this stage.
In future testing phases and updates, all players will be invited to participate.

Important: Complete the Quests up to Dragon Island

During the test, please pay special attention to the quests leading up to Dragon Island.
This questline introduces most of the game’s content and core mechanics.

It’s essential to complete these quests, as players will receive:

• Fairy – a key element of character development;

• Mount – for faster travel;

• Pet – a helper companion in battles;

• Starter equipment – which you will upgrade throughout the game.

These features form the foundation of character progression and are vital for proper testing.

After the test, we will select Helpers — experienced players who understand the content well and can assist newcomers at launch.

Guild Participation

If you represent a guild, announce it on our Discord, make a post, and request the Guild Leader role.
Each leader will receive N accounts, where N = number of members in their guild.

If you are not in a guild but want to participate, you can join an existing guild via the same link.

Test Purpose

After months of internal testing, we’re confident the project is about 95% ready.
Now we want to verify the remaining 5% together with players — to identify bugs, weaknesses, and improve stability.

Test Format

Guild leaders will have access to private channels to collect and report bugs from their members.
Each leader will have their own chat to avoid data overlap.

Bug Hunt Rewards

We’ll introduce a guild ranking based on the number of reported bugs.
The five most active guilds will receive in-game rewards:

1. 1st place – 10,000 Crystals

2. 2nd place – 7,500 Crystals

3. 3rd place – 5,000 Crystals

4. 4th place – 2,500 Crystals

5. 5th place – 1,000 Crystals

Bugs may overlap between guilds — we won’t mark if an issue has already been reported, but fixes will be applied in real time.
Typos do not count as bugs — everything else does.

Gratitude

We thank everyone who has been with us from the very beginning.
Your participation and support help Ascaron Online become the world we all want to see — cozy, alive, and free from pay-to-win.

Sincerely,
The Ascaron Online Team
