How new is Toram Online?
Toram is a great and beautiful mobile MMORPG game by Asobimo Inc. I don't think I have had as much fun playing any mobile MMORPG game thus far. So, how new is Toram Online? I have received this question while helping someone who just finished the last story quest. I told him it was very new, though I did not know when it launched, and proceeded to inform him on taking up some side quests among many other things you can do. So then, for those who don't know, how new is Toram Online?
Toram online was created by Asobimo Inc. publishers of games like the popular Iruna Online, Avabel, and Izanagi, to name a few. In June 16, 2014 Toram Online developers announced it's Pre-Alpha stage would begin on June 18, 2014. They allowed players a limited time access to download the game through an outside source for Android smart phones with detailed instructions on how to do so. This means they did not release it in the Google Play store. The game was still a prototype version, early in developement, where players could test the basic elements of the game and provide feedback to the developers like their opinions of the game, if there were any bugs, and any requests for future content. The Pre-Alpha stage ended in June 20, 2014 and the game received some bug fixes and the secondary Pre-Alpha stage was set for June 24, 2014 with it's conclusion on June 27, 2014.
On June 26, 2014 they announced that the developers were working on bringing the game to iOS, however, iOS users would not have access to the game until Beta. After the second Pre-Alpha Stage the game received a huge update with bug fixes, drop rate increased, camera swipe and tons more fixes. The announcement for the official Alpha test was stated in July 18, 2014 and it would receive numerous unscheduled maintanance dates and times. Because iOS could not participate in the official Alpha test, they created a Pre-Registration for iOS users to sign up and receive the same rewards that Alpha testers received for playing the game. The Alpha lasted up to May 12, 2015 and the Beta started in May 14, 2015 and ended in July 16, 2015 and it was officially open to everyone around the world the following day.
So there it is guys, I know it seemed long but that is how Toram got started and made it's way to open it's doors to the world and welcome everyone into this new and wonderful world. It has been over a year now since Alpha and Beta testing took place and we just got our hands on this fresh out the box mobile MMORPG that just came out this month. Now I have a question for you guys. Did you take place in the Pre-Alpha and Alpha stage or Beta? If you did leave a comment below and tell me about the early days of the game while it was being developed and tell me if you are having fun and your opinions so far about this game. Love it, hate it, why? Let me know.
