Announcement on Founder's Server and the Future Schedules
By Staff_J
Mar 17th, 2016
Greetings, this is the TOS Team.
First of all, we would like to show our utmost gratitude to all of you who have been eagerly waiting for the TOS English Version for a long time.
We are glad to inform you that our schedule has been confirmed.
The TOS English version on Steam will kick off by offering ‘Founder’s Server: Exclusive Access’ that will initially allow access to the buyers and service will be open to everyone after 3 months.
3 types of ‘Founder’s Server: Exclusive Access’ will be released sequentially as the service period elapses.
Founder's Server: Exclusive Access is scheduled to be sold from March 16th, but it is subject to change depending on the timing of Steam's authorization.
We’ve come up with this initial access to prevent numerous Bot Accounts from the early stages of service and to provide a stable in-game environment to our users.
Furthermore, the TOS English version will contain various customized contents that won’t be seen in the Korean version.
We will continuously develop or make changes on various contents specifically for the TOS English Version so we hope everyone knows about this in advance. (*Please refer to notices and precautions below.)
We’ve requested review for the exclusive access to Steam and sales will commence as soon as Steam authorizes it.
We will continuously update you with the future status.
Thank you.
