Open Beta of the Bazaar will launch on March 5th, 2025

Happy Friday everyone. The Bazaar is going free to play on Wednesday. So earlier today we finally got a build that we as a team played and we felt like it had the bare minimum that we wanted for open beta and we didn’t really want to announce open beta until we had a build that we knew was ready.

So it’s far from perfect but we feel like it has what it needs to open up the Bazaar to the world and we’re excited to do that as soon as possible. We don’t want to hold off now that we know we have a build that’s ready to go for you.

So I’m sorry this is kind of short notice especially for some of the founders pack buyers. We hope that’s still good value but on Wednesday when we patch and go into open beta the founders pack sales are going to end entirely.

So if you want any of the collectibles in that make sure to pick them up before then. I think still think it’s pretty good value. I’m biased of course gems and all but we’re really excited to open up the game to the world and to get your feedback on it.

You know as excited as we are to have you all play in the game Microsoft has not been very cooperative in getting us what we’re paying for. So we’re hoping that our infrastructure will hold if there’s a ton of you but there may be more than we expect.

So we’ll do our best and that’s that’s one area of focus for us between now and Wednesday especially. So but on an ongoing basis infrastructure is going to be an effort. A lot of that stuff we have to see break in practice before we know how to fix it.

So anyway we’re very eager to welcome the masses to the game. We’ve been building it for a very long time and I’ll see you all in the Bazaar.
