FAQ - Early Access and Future Business Model
You can find a complete FAQ in EN, DE, and FR on the FAQ section[playpaxdei.com] of our website.

Why Early Access? What is the current state of the game?

Pax Dei Early Access will start on June 18, 2024. Pre-purchase the game now to be among the first to play as soon as it releases!

Pax Dei is still heavily in development and not yet feature-complete. We expect all aspects of the game to require balancing and polish.

Throughout Early Access, we plan to expand the game in terms of content and systems. Major updates will require us to wipe the game - reset the world and/or the progression and have everybody start over.

Pax Dei’s Early Access is scheduled to last until at least June 2025, possibly longer.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

The final business model and pricing are not defined yet, but our overall approach is similar to the classic MMORPGs subscription model.

After Early Access, Pax Dei will require a one-off initial purchase, which will give access to the game and one or more plot(s) for a limited period of time. This will be followed by a recurring fee for ongoing game access, which will vary based on the number of plots a player wishes to maintain.

The Founder’s Pack you pick now doesn’t commit you to anything past Early Access. We will be transparent about our future pricing plans and provide more details as we approach the official release.

By purchasing a Founder’s Pack now:

❖ You get unlimited access to the game, along with the specified amount of plots, for the entire duration of Early Access (i.e., at least until June 2025).

❖ You are already covering the initial purchase required at full-game release.

❖ You get character slots and exclusive recipes that you will retain permanently.

❖ Last but not least, you are directly supporting the project.

What do you mean by wiping the game? How often will that happen?

Throughout Early Access, as we expand the game both in terms of content and systems, we anticipate major updates that will require us to reset the game entirely and start over.

That being said, we will do our best to keep such wipes as few and far between as possible.

Ideally, we will also try to do them only partially: major changes on the terrain of the Home Valleys could lead to a reset of all the plots, but not to your characters. Some deep changes in the skill systems or the crafting progression could lead to a reset of the characters but not the plots…

At least one complete wipe/reset will occur just before the full release, and it should be the last one, as we don’t plan to wipe once the game is no longer in Early Access - once it is fully released.

What languages are available?

The game is currently only available in English. We plan to add more languages during Early Access, starting with German and French.
