Pathfinder Online

Goblinworks' CEO Ryan Dancey has taken to the Pathfinder Online forum to ask players for assistance regarding the issue of shrine camping. In his brief post, Dancey indicates that there are legitimate reasons that shrine camping is acceptable, but realizes that it can also cause issues even in a PvP-centric game world.

Ryan Dancey has posted on the Pathfinder Online site that a new phase of Early Enrollment will begin on April 1st. Called "Head Start", players can access the game for a $30 price tag that also includes a month of game time. Dancey clarifies that this is not the beginning of Open Enrollment, but is a new phase of the Early Enrollment program. Head Start was added due to server capacity exceeding expectations that allows more players to take part.

The latest Pathfinder Online blog has been posted that lets Early Enrollment players know that the Influence System will be deployed with the March 26th update. Influence is gained when progress towards an achievement is earned and it can be used by Companies to gain control of or construct Holdings.

As of February 21, Pathfinder Online released the Early Enrollment 4.1 and along with that update, a range of new deployable structures.

Backers and fans of Pathfinder Online will be pleased to hear that the Early Enrollment process will begin later today. Early Enrollment was delayed to allow more time for the client to pass the quality standards set by developers. In honor of today's big event, Goblinworks has sent along four exclusive new screens. Check them out below.

Backers and fans of Pathfinder Online will be pleased to hear that the Early Enrollment process will begin on December 31st. Originally planned for earlier this year, the Early Enrollment was delayed to allow more time for the client to pass the quality standards set by developers.

Pathfinder Online's Ryan Dancey has posted a new update to inform early adopters that the alpha stress test will begin on Thursday, September 25th. All players with Alpha, Early, Explorer or Open Enrollment will be able to participate in the Stress Test. The alpha is expected to last four weeks with early enrollment alpha testing to start on October 23rd.

Slated to begin later this week, Pathfinder Online Early Enrollment players will have to wait a bit longer for the commencement of the first alpha tests. The news was delivered via a short notice on the Pathfinder Online site earlier today.

Pathfinder Online's Early Enrollment is being delayed slightly from September 15th to September 22nd. According to the latest blog post, the delay is in response to allow more time to polish some features and include others. Additionally, the team lost development time due to an unexpected server down time.

The Pathfinder Online site has been updated with a new developer blog post that gives fans and backers a look at how premium items for purchase with real-world dollars will work. Of specific note is the blog's acknowledgement of player concerns that the game will become "pay to win" and, somewhat conversely, how players who purchase these buildings can rest assured that their purchases are persistent even through "destruction".

Fans of the crowd-funded Pathfinder Online will want to log into the game's Twitch channel to check out a special live stream event taking place from within the alpha client itself. The team will also be on hand to discuss the game's vision and to answer fan questions. Check out the information below and be there at the appointed time!
