After being pushed back from Oct. 31, today marks the official launch of Alganon. David Allen, the president and co-founder of Quest Online, has written a letter to celebrate the occasion and thank his team and the players for their support.

"The next few weeks are going to be the toughest as we begin to troubleshoot specific issues and refine the game and server systems," Allen said, noting that the team will work directly with players to resolve all issues. He also mentions that Quest Online already has years of content planned, including "Deities, Crusades, Consignment, Domain Control, PvP, and a ton of other systems."

I've been so busy preparing for Launch, I haven't had time to communicate with the community as much as I would have liked, so here's a little something as we launch Alganon.

First, I want to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to the entire Alganon team. For nearly four years we have been working to bring Alganon to life, and now that dream is realized. Alganon is the result of not just vision, blood, sweat, and tears, but most importantly: passion. The passion to build a living, breathing world gamers would enjoy being a part of.

The next few weeks are going to be the toughest as we begin to troubleshoot specific issues and refine the game and server systems. Our team members will be working around the clock to address the issues that come up. Please be patient as we are one of the only independent developers in the industry that has launched a product of this caliber on their own, but our resources are limited compared to a large-scale established company. We rely on working directly with our players to resolve issues that come up. The way it should be.

Alganon is fresh new IP with many features most players are completely unaware of. The power of MyAlganon, the Library, and other systems within the game and the MyAlganon community are all waiting for you to explore. Press that magic Y button while playing. Every aspect of the game is in the Library, and its all at your fingertips. This is something unprecedented in a MMOG release.

Do not underestimate the power of Studies. A few months from now, players who planned their studies will find they have access to unique, fun, and empowering game experiences and features tied to combat, character growth, class enhancement, tradeskills, instances, and more.

Alganon is only going to grow from here, and only gets better the more you play. Theres a huge difference between playing through the starter areas and moving into the world and on to the multi-tiered quest-based storylines.

The Dawning event is a powerful collaborative effort all players can participate in from the getgo. We have numerous challenging instances all ready for exploration once the players complete the event.

There is so much to Alganon and we hope to grow this great game into the grand design we have planned over the next few years. Deities, Crusades, Consignment, Domain Control, PvP, and a ton of other systems are all planned and in the queue; free to all subscribers.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us through this process, we look forward to delivering and growing the game all of you have been waiting for.
