Star Legends Poised For Limited Android Beta on Verizon V CAST

[Samhayne]

Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles has been submitted for review to Verizon’s V CAST Media Manager for Android Devices!

Spacetime Studios is excited to announce that Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles will very shortly be entering into a limited Beta for Android! We have partnered with Verizon Wireless to release Star Legends through V CAST. The App has been submitted for Verizon to review and anticipate it will be available on the V CAST within a week or less!

Six Years of Development.
Originally conceived as a much-anticipated PC MMO title, Star Legends benefits from years of previous development. If you ever dreamed of a fully-featured sci-fi MMO that you can take anywhere and play with anyone, anytime – look no further than the first chapter of the Blackstar Chronicles.

What is a Beta?
A Beta means that we think the game is almost ready to launch. We have been playing internally now for months and are extremely excited to get this into a few of your hands! We will be soliciting usability feedback and tracking down bugs in preparation for the full release.

Why Limited Beta?
There are a lot of moving parts to a MMO game like Star Legends. We want to have an opportunity to polish and refine the game before bringing it to a wider audience. This Limited Beta allows us to do just that.

How Long Will Limited Beta Last?
We anticipate this Limited Beta period will last for at approximately 2 weeks. When we feel it is ready, Star Legends will launch fully and become available on the Apple App Store and Android Market for anyone who wants to play.

I have an Apple iOS Device, can I play the Limited Beta?
Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t support limited releases. Look for the full release of Star Legends: The Blackstar Cronicles on the Apple App Store after the Limited Beta period ends.

I Have an Android Phone that is not on Verizon, Can I Play in the Limited Beta?
For those with an Android powered device that are not on Verizon with access to V CAST, we will be working with partner websites to make the game available. Look for announcements here linking to gaming websites that have Star Legends beta keys available in contests and giveaways.

Accounts will not be reset at the end of the Limited Beta and Beta testers will get to keep their characters.

Sam this is absolutely unfair. Being able to get a name you like should not be limited and should be equal opportunity. Also people should all start the same day and at level one.

Now i MUST get a beta key or my other name I want will likely get stolen. I ask you, is this fair?

Hey Bronislav,

If reserving your name is something that has value to you, you can purchase a name reservation. More details located here. Otherwise it is a Free-to-Play game and first come will be first served. If you have a friend with an Android Device that is capable of accessing the Limited Beta, then you could borrow it for a few minutes, download the game, log in with your same account credentials you use to log into Pocket Legends (your Spacetime Account) and create a character with the name you want.

But I did reserve my character name already on my Android My Touch 4g from T-mobile. Not only is it not Verizon, but I don't own the name in PL that I want (My reserve will likely not be used for a main in SL) and was going to grab it on release. Now I must get into the beta to be able to do this. What if I don't?

My post was an attempt to point out that people who simply don't have access to the beta in any way and refuse to spend 50p (But may have spent hundreds on other items) are left out of this. Basically "screwed over" completely by STS.

maybe about the same as the Android owners did when they had to wait 6months to play PL.

Also, to be fair to STS, they'd love to let some iOS users also beta test but the restriction is on Apple's side I think.

iOS owner...

This is true. We love iOS. We'd love to be playing on our devices too.

[Sigkill]

Yeah, I love IOS also but it just annoys me that Apple is so strict....

I just downloaded the Verizon VCAST Media Manager. This is for personal uploads though, not public retrieval. How will we be able to access the beta once it becomes available?
