The gates of Valen are open. Today we launch our first Alpha test, inviting players to explore the continent of Vaelen and shape the future of the world.
After years of development, we are thrilled to open the gates of Valen Online to our first wave of Alpha testers. Starting today, registered accounts will be invited in rolling waves to explore the continent of Vaelen, level characters from 1 to 30, and experience the first chapter of what we hope will be a living, breathing world for years to come.
This Alpha is about testing systems, not just content. We want to understand how our combat engine performs under real player load, whether our quest flow feels natural, and how the economy behaves when real people start making decisions. Every kill, crafted item, and completed quest generates data we desperately need.
To report bugs or share feedback, use the in-game report button (default keybind: F9) or visit our Discord. We read everything. Known issues at launch include occasional disconnects during zone transitions, some floating NPC geometry in Goldshire, and the Priest's Renew HoT occasionally ticking twice. All are being actively investigated.
Thank you for being part of this. The world of Valen exists because of your support. Now — let's see what breaks.
