Hi there! We noticed you missed the first Alpha weekend of City of Steam (for whatever reason; if it was because of loading screen issues, this should now be more accessible, as we added the "Quality" settings menu to the starting screen!). But not to worry! There is more to come this weekend, starting now (July 27th to 29th)! This one will be a good one to start on too, as it will feature the addition of elf races (riven and draug).

Not to antagonize you or anything, but here are last weekend's contest winners (aw.. it could have been you!): http://forum.cityofsteam.com/index.php?topic=1023.0

We've also fixed quite a few things, so this week's gameplay should run a little smoother. In particular, lag issues should be less of a problem now, and Mac users should be able to play this time around! We know you already have an Alpha key, but if you'd like to support the development of City of Steam, we have Collaborator Packs with great stuff (and extra keys for friends). Be sure to stay tuned with updates and more competitions in our Forum! Your key has already been activated, and is still valid for this weekend. And now that the server is open again for the second round of Alpha testing, we welcome you to come join in and play right now! You can login here:

Hope to see you in this week's Alpha! City of Steam Dev Team
