Everyone has a fighting chance

This is a new experience for me. I’ve been given a chance, one that I take very seriously, to be a representative of both MMORPG.com and the Camelot Unchained community. I thought long and hard about integrity, and the challenge of walking the line between a fanboy and critical writer and I decided it was one I could walk…hopefully!
The latest Camelot Unchained newsletter has been unleashed that gives fans and backers some news about the game over the last week. Of particular note is the passing of the latest stretch goal that will bring new programmers to the team to assist with development. In addition, a brand new wiki has been opened that will be filled by the Camelot Unchained community.
The Camelot Unchained team has announced that it will be opening the server for backers to participate in a special 24-hour session. The special event will take place on Saturday, April 18th through Sunday, April 19th.

Last night’s Camelot Unchained update contained the good news that the alpha test for the highly anticipated title has officially begun. Over a thousand backers checked in during the initial hours of the alpha which ran smoothly without crashes for nearly 72 hours. In addition, physics ran flawlessly as did the "CUBE" or Camelot Unchained Building Environment.
Now that the Camelot Unchained alpha is underway, we had the chance to ask Mark Jacobs a few questions about the process leading up to alpha and about the game’s progress.
