You have waited a long time to experience all Malu has to offer, and we are excited to announce that Origins of Malu will be open for beta testing on March 30th! Be one of the first to explore the forests of Malu, hike into the mountains of the Toljon, or explore the welcoming homes of the Jolah. Join factions and take your place among the legends of Malu. We have put together some information to help you get started and answer any questions you may have. So, read on and enjoy the world of Malu.
Let's set our expectations right off the bat!
The purpose of this beta is purely to test our systems on a large scale and get some initial feedback from the community. We are an indie studio with a limited amount resources at this point. Running a beta for free for a long period costs a lot of money; so we are keeping this short and sweet. There will be issues, and we will do our best to resolve them as fast as we can. We just hope you guys have fun and enjoy the ride!
How do I get a beta key?
Since this is a closed beta, keys will be limited. While many of the keys will be distributed by our sponsor, Alienware, we know that there are many of you who have been faithful followers of Origins of Malu, and have looked forward to getting a glimpse inside the game during beta. We are going to do our best to give out as many beta keys as we can to active community members as well as those who supported Origins of Malu while it was on Kickstarter. Don't have a key visit
Alienware Arena to get one.

What features will be available in Beta?
This beta is Combat Test Specific. The features that you will have access to will focus and enable combat situations and functionality. At the end of the beta, all data will be discarded including character names, inventory, housing and faction membership.
PVP
PVP(Player versus Player) is such a large part of Origins of Malu, and we want to know what you think about it. During beta, PVP will only be active when you enter into an opposing faction’s territory. If you are in your own territory, you will be safe from being flagged for PVP while in your own territory.
Housing and Crafting
While there will be no crafting during this beta, we will be allowing limited access to our unique housing system. For beta only, housing materials will need to be purchased through vendors before building.
Guilds and Factions
Since the primary focus is combat specific, guilds will not be active during beta. This is will be a huge part of Origins of Malu, but will be revealed at a later time. For beta, factions will be preset. We encourage you to join a faction and wage war on the planet of Malu! During beta only, all faction choices are final and cannot be changed.
How faction warfare will work in Beta
For Beta only, we have pre-placed the faction markers that are used to grow your empire. Faction marker nodes control a radius of 100 meters around the marker. You will have to destroy them and replace it with your own faction marker to gain control of that area. The goal is simple: The more you destroy, the more land you hold!
Quests
Take your first journey into the history and culture of Malu and it’s inhabitants as you enter the intro quests. During beta, you will have access to the preliminary intro quests and be one of the first to experience the legacy of the races of Malu.
Characters
We are excited to have several options for you to choose from while you are starting your first journey into Malu. You will be able to choose from three races: Toljon (Male/Female), Jolah (Male/Female), and Qulinta (Male). All character choices are final during beta and cannot be changed.
