For those who have been curious about Skyforge, now is the time to jump in with the start of open beta today. Anyone logging in between July 16th and 23rd will receive a special costume that will be awarded after the first week of OBT. Founder's Packs are no longer for sale, but players can get their hands on the new Collector's Edition that comes with a host of in-game perks.
These Collectors Editions come in two variations – Starter Pack and Wardens of the Wasteland. The Starter Pack provides players with 6000 Argents, 30 days of Premium, an exclusive Aelion Defender portal title, and a chest full of items to assist players as they start their journey on Aelion. The Wardens of the Wasteland edition brings with it larger quantities of the rewards found within the Starter Kit, along withinstant access to the Alchemist & Knight Classes, an exclusive Night Squad Costume, a permanent Moah mount, and the Warden of the Wasteland portal title! A full breakdown of each pack’s rewards can be seen on the Collector’s Edition page.
Returning players will find their characters as they were when CBT ended and all that is required is downloading the latest patch to get going again.

Agreed and it is so calling my name! <sigh>
The higher founder's pack had 40,000 Argents though, this one has half that.
(It would cost $25 to buy the extra 20,000 Argents)
I think i have mentioned this a few times,CASH SHOP games can NEVER be trusted,there is always going to be a bigger better buy down the road to keep you spending.
I am just thankful no player wipes,i would have been pissed losing all 2 hours i had in :P
Originally i thought it can';t be that bad ,the packs were ok priced ,but after playing the game,it is not worth anymore than 100% free and even then i would not play anymore because it is boring as heck.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
You are forgetting the bag slots and threads they are being sneaky but the cost of the bags and threads cuts that difference greatly especially avoiding the %5 transaction fee.
I haven't compared them in detail, but the founder's pack does give a lot of extras in the three capsules. But providing two classes and the bag and so on they've obviously made it so that founders will want the collector's pack as well, as it doesn't replicate things.
I have the top tier founders park and glad I did but you can unlock the other classes for free.
EDIT: 59.99 deal looks awesome =- )
Yes, the founder's packs and the CE stack nicely. Also the starter pack is a completely separate thing and also stacks with either or both and can be gotten multiple times. It is only slightly more expensive than buying 30 days of premium more directly.
And with the $60 CE, well it has been a long time since I have seen a game with a $60 CE in general and I don't think I have ever seen a CE from another game with more than 30 days of sub let alone 60 days and enough cash shop credit to get another 60 days.
All die, so die well.
While it is definitely a central hub game it is so more in the Neverwinter Online sense. There are open shared zones and those zones get really very big.
All die, so die well.
Most of the game is instanced but everything is 100% teamable. There are large open world maps but thats not the focus of the game. Still worth the time to check out for free if you wana invest in the game. Get to 2k prestige and you will know if you will like it.
Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.
My Review Manifesto
Follow me on Twitter if you dare.
I want to play the monk or necro though. but hey, free class unlocks still pretty good.
I've been playing the last week (3K-ish paladin) and have really enjoyed the game. Combat is fun (not quite as active as Tera) but is definitely not just button mashing. I've found the boss fights (done all the instances solo so far) force you to pay REAL attention to the mechanics. These are not tank-n-spank fights ... especially solo
I bought the low-end founder pack and a few extra argents (to get the free mount) and am very happy with the purchase.
Just a warning and I posted this as well in their Bug forum, Panda AV is pointing me to this URL: http://www.pandasecurity.com/usa/homeusers/security-info/82046/information/Exploit.gen After downloading the Skyforge installer.
They have turned separating players from their money into an art form.

yeah im getting some IP blocks (Malwarebytes) , usually when leaving the game Oo
anyway , im having fun! , already unlocked Slayer and omw to Archer ^o^ ,
Yea, getting a Destiny vibe from it. It seems like a good game, but the way its presented is not my cup of tea. Little disappointed by that.
