What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access? “Although Project: Gorgon is already quite playable, there are still a lot of systems and content to add. It's a sprawling MMO world full of wondrous adventure, after all.



We have already been working with a wonderful community of players and testers to make Project: Gorgon the best it can be, but to really flesh out the game we need more players, more feedback, and more ideas!



Early Access will also give us funding to further improve the game's graphics.” Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access? “Based on our experience with the game's development to date, and accounting for the quantity and quality of content and polish we aim to hit, we expect that Project: Gorgon will be in Early Access for about a year.” How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? “The full version of Project: Gorgon will differ from Early Access primarily in terms of 'more': more levels, more skills, more zones, more NPCs, more animal forms, more curses.



There are a couple of major features that are planned but not yet available, including 3 more playable races, horseback riding, and instanced housing. We expect to be adding these during the course of Early Access.



In addition, the full version will have improved graphics, additional character customization, and be much more optimized for performance.



Please note: At the end of Early Access, you will retain your characters and all their skills, but items will be reset in order to help foster a healthy economy.” What is the current state of the Early Access version? “In terms of content, the game is already quite full-featured. There are over 100 skills, thousands of items, and dozens of dungeons with content up to level 70. (On release, levels will go to 100.)



There are still many dungeons, skills, NPCs, and other systems to come, and much of the existing content will see further improvement, but the game is already enjoyable and engaging.



In terms of graphics, things aren't quite so rosy. Much of the game's graphics are still in development and need further refinement. You will run into some placeholder models, some buggy animations, and plenty of things that need more graphical polish. If you're okay with that, this is a great time to jump in.” Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? “The price may increase after Early Access.” How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? “The game has been in alpha development for several years and has grown and evolved based largely on player feedback. This will continue during beta, with skill ideas, ability designs, and even dungeon ideas often being taken from player suggestions.”
