From ashes to empires. Your journey will shape the face of Verra.
Experience an MMORPG where everything is permanently impacted by your actions – explore, trade, build, and let the world take form. From your imagination through your will and into everyone’s reality, what you create will be the cornerstone of the next explorer’s ambition.
Risk Vs Reward
All across Verra, you have the opportunity to experience massive warfare, participate in epic trade caravans, and gather valuable components to craft exquisite items. Not only will your fellow players be your adversaries; the creatures of the land and the very environment itself will pose a constant and fresh challenge. Will you siege castles to become royalty, defeat other guilds to showcase your prowess, shape the marketplace by being a successful trader, or earn renown by developing your artisan crafting skills? This is your story, you tell us!
An Open World
Ashes of Creation is a unique take on the MMORPG experience. Our world structure is dynamic, and built to react to your actions. Cities will rise and fall as you shape the world of Verra. Quests and secrets will unlock as populations gather and their needs grow. As the world’s NPC structure is established in real-time, you will have the ability to destroy what’s been created, paving the way for new developments, populations, and change. Political strife and intrigue will play a very real role in the structure of your experience. Gone are the days of static worlds; change is here to stay!

After playing Ashes and to be honest having fun with my guild I don't think this game will succeed, for sure it will have a decent population but it will never raise as a major mmorpg, the open world pvp and the toxicity it brings will never attract new players quite the opposite, having one server per EU has shown the worst of the worst in terms of player behavior.
The majority of mmorpg players are over 30 years with a family job etc, few will stick for a game like Ashes while others will be the nolifers…the zerg guilds that will in the end destroy the servers like it happened in Crowfall, casual players will not play Ashes for a long time since the game is stupidly grindy plus when you have a game so long in alpha or beta you take away the element of surprise so gamers will know what and how is Ashes and when the game finally releases is not gonna see major increase in population, sure you can survive with a small population but will that give you enough money to actually make the game profitable? Who knows…we will see I guess.
I have watched development since it started but got bored with the length of it. Started a couple of weeks ago on Alpha 2. Played online games since Everquest and I am getting new found enjoyment for this type of game. Disappointed about the lies(desert thing). I look forward to updates and your views.
Anyone see the local sportsball event today?
It is weird to see the desert like 2years ago and then the freehold 1 year ago and then see what's in game… Like… We assumed they were in those states 1-2 years ago becuase they said they were. And then we see that both are like…. 15-30% of that Max in game… That's just a straight up lie then from intrepid. I think you'd have to be daft to not be at least a bit frustrated with them. We were all basically catfished. Like we like the girl we've come to know we'll enough but she doesn't look anything like the original pictures she showed us and that will never leave our minds.
I had a massive thing typed, but i'll just put it on the forums instead. Good video!
I made a short Narc roast vid on my channel a while ago haha. Low budget crap but I thought it was funny.
I was in Narcs discord yesterday asking what’s up. The kicked and banned me from the server. Lame.
Why are people taking time off to play test the alpha.
Am I the only one who knows that Steven said “these are assets that will be used to make the desert biome” they never said that specifically IS the desert biome… and I don’t even follow the project religiously. I see the internet blow up over something they never said. Pay attention please, it’s not hard.
Has nothing to do with him not having that sweet flying mount no more huh??
I think you guys are like other content creators and are taking this as a game. They have already told us what they are focusing on and the aspects y’all get upset about are not in the list. Just check out from the game and come back when it’s ready for you to play a game not a test.
I have been a backer of star citizen for a loooong time, so I'm used to the "iT's AlPha!11!!" to deflect any kind of criticism and cultish like behaviour.
Intrepid should have stated more clearly in the desert video, in the freehold video "these are not nearly functional and are proof of concept, a mock-up, don't expect to see this in alpha 2"
As the videos were published, hell the desert one literally said "desert biome ALPHA 2 preview" that might induce people to think it was further along and would be present in alpha 2 launch.
Also Narc should chill and touch grass, but a CEO of a development studio should NOT say that, it is a really bad look.
Good video!
Hey brother, I appreciate the raw take and the support for the project. I feel it's important to note, that absolutely no development updates we have done are "fake" or "not real". What Narc says in his video regarding this is completely false. Everything that we show in our monthly development updates is real work that is done in Ashes. They are not tech demos, they are not vertical slices… The desert biome preview was a preview of the zone/assets that were built at the time. Currently in Alpha Two you can see all of those assets implemented within the Desert area, what people are not understanding is that world building can be destructive, and the current Alpha Two map is getting parts of it changed to introduce new POIs, Nodes and World Pop changes. There was nothing done that is misleading or a lie from myself or the team. That narrative is not correct, and is solely intended to defame myself and the team. Narc purposefully went to the edge of the desert map, instead of the more completed areas of the desert in order to help support his narrative. I wish you and others would help communicate that point.
Camelot Unchained vibes
Thank you for your honesty regarding showcases.
This guy is a moron you are a tester stop complaining.
Honestly your take is the reason I have been watching you. I started watching Narc but have been turned off by his point of view and his inability to see things in a positive light at all. Im not saying everything Ashes has done is positive but man if someone is this salty already about a project then there was no hope for him in the beginning. Im optimistic and i think thats all we can be until release. Just hope it's not 5 or 6 years away.
Intrepid isn't perfect, far from it. But Intrepid is, currently, the most transparent mmorpg studio out there. Ashes is buggy and often boring, but the good thing is that (hopefully) it'll only get better.
I’m kinda glad I never backed this project or joined even up till this point…there’s too much gaslighting from both sides at this point. Bait and switch content showcases, I get it everything is subject to change.. it’s in development. However with drastic changes from what’s shown as a preview and what’s then in the actual build that is playable…should be options to refund at that point…or atleast partial refund. At this point it’s more or less bad consumer/producer communication with a hazy understanding of what the actual game is going to be compared to what it is now, or was.
FREE HEILER! or pay 2 gold! @stevenjsharif
I appreciate being able to test the game in the state it is. I enjoy the progress that intrepid has made, and I am satisfied with the pace of progress intrepid is making as well.

I'm so sick of all the negativity. The game is actually quite great for where it is in the process and honestly not nearly as far off as people act like. It's super fun to play already. Intrepid is making a great game. The way people are behaving and hating on the game and hating on the devs is exactly why no other games have an open development process. Stop being the toxic culture that ruins games people! Narc is a two-faced lying you know what, who has completely lost my support. He was intentionally deceptively misleading in his last video. He used to be my favorite ashes content creator, but i now see him for what he is.
After playing Path of Exile 2, seeing you walk soooooo long with no monsters attacking you, or fast paced combat to enjoy AT ALL?!?! This is just zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
i m playing a steam game thats even more niche. it s got less than 100 active players with a strong basis in tabletop gaming
I'm sorry but the whole thing about the desert being fake isn't accurate. No one said that all what they're showcasing is going to be in the alpha at a specific time. You got a playable version of the biome not the finished product when the game releases. In narcs video he's even looking at Steven's showcase where Steven says these are the assets we've created to make the biome. He didn't say this is the level and it will look exactly like this when alpha 2 starts. He even reiterates this on Reddit saying we have everything we have not finished the final touches of where everything is going to be. Developers Miss Marx even in early access because maybe things go wrong or they get delayed but this is an early alpha not even early access and you should expect whatever they give you and nothing more. Even then you know narc is being disingenuous by showing sand dun es instead of the trees water rocks and foliage that is in the alpha that he purposely did not show. I'm sure the game will have a flesh out desert biome and also a actual sand dune desert part as well those would be two different parts.
8:26 … this is why narc is the best. When someone makes a dumb ass comment like that.. Hes gonna call the dude a dumbass… Ashes is beating expectations??
I'm sorry Roarrior, but you sound like a spouse suffering from classic "trauma bond."
The abuser calling it a nothing-burger when clearly caught out in a graphic bait and switch lie. Long-term promises/goals dropped/changed, and degrading humiliating communication, when simple legitimate concerns are risen.
Were not married to this one yet although we've been paying for half the wedding ring we may never see, I'm out.
They are kind of lying to us though and that's proven by the keys and the cosmetics and mounts pack.
But I'm not so sure its a scam, just that it wont ve as successful as people think, nowhere close.
No, he doesn't know what we want, he's making a game for 1% of MMORPG fans.
And that game thus far is not anything new or innovative, not a missing link at all.
