Zeverland 2nd Pre-Alpha Tech Test Server Shutdown Announcement

Hi survivors,

Zeverland 2nd Pre-Alpha Tech Test will officially conclude on July 2, 10:00 AM (UTC+8), when the servers will go dark.

Seven days ago, you opened your eyes in the red mist, standing on this wasteland with nothing to your name.

In seven days, you forged your first hatchet, raised the first wall of a home, and recruited your first companion — one who'd raid your fridge, doze off wherever they pleased, yet still stand beside you to hold the line against a whole horde.

We watched some of you grind till dawn, just for a roof that could keep out the wind and rain;

some walk over ten kilometers alone, only to find a single teammate;

some load everything they owned onto a truck and build a home that rolled across the wasteland;

some feed and make beds for the companions they'd taken in, one by one, tending to them like their own family;

and over these days, you brought human life and warmth back to this wasteland.

And we saw the things that never should have happened —

waking up to find your home stripped bare, your chests left in splinters; frozen to a single frame in the big city, unable to see your own hand in the fog.

None of this is what you should have had to bear. The fault is ours — our work left unfinished.

Every word of praise, every complaint, even every "devs, get in here and answer for this" — we wrote it all down, line by line.

PVE protection, performance, new features like vehicle customization — for every one of them, we already have a fix lined up for the next build.

Every pitfall you stumbled into is helping us build this world on firmer ground.

The next time you wake, the red mist will have thinned a little, the roads will run a little smoother, the lights will come on, and home will be a little safer.

And the sweat you shed here tonight, and this one night you can't bring yourself to leave — all of it will become part of a better Zeverland.

We'll keep the records of this playtest safe. When we meet again, we hope you'll still be the first to reach this wasteland.

Thank you for walking with us through the hardest, and most precious, playtest of all.

The lights are going out for now. We'll go make them burn brighter, and light them again for you.
