Well, I’ve been thinking about getting in on the alpha for The War Z. Anyone picking this up? Sounds like it’s possibly a more polished version of the DayZ mod for ArmA II.
Right now you can pre-order (at a discount until Oct 20, 2012) at three different tiers and you can get early access to the alpha/beta.
- Survivor = $19.49
- Beta access on Oct 31
- Pioneer = $29.99
- Alpha access on Oct 15
- $15 in-game currency
- 1 month server hosting
- 3 guest keys
- Legend = $49.99
- Alpha access on Oct 15
- $30 in-game currency
- 6 month server hosting
- 3 guest keys
- Survivor name highlighted on leaderboards and chat
Remain skeptical, there are some odd design choices in this game, like the strongholds, that you have to pay to host your own, seems to give a lot of advantages. I would wait this one out and see how things develop.
