Going Public with Open Beta
- By Pyro7r34d
We are happy to announce the open beta of Golarion Chronicles! A Neverwinter Nights persistent world roleplaying server set in the Pathfinder campaign setting. This server includes a complete overhaul to the pathfinder 1st edition ruleset. This open beta is an opportunity for the community to test and provide feedback on the server. We encourage players to play however they want during the beta.
June 24th 2025 we'll be opening our server public for anyone interested in joining to test out the server.
During the open beta DMs will be very free handed with any fix or change required to allow proper testing. Rewards, items, replacements, rebuilds and fixes will all be provided freely. This is the time to try everything, see if it breaks without worry of loss.
We plan to follow a schedule of testing phases before we can launch. Beginning with phase one levels 5-10 (and their quests and dungeons) will be available. As each phase progresses we will unlock more chunks of content and increase the level cap following the bugfixing of the previous one. The speed in which we can progress through phases of beta and into launch will be determined based on the amount of issues that are found in each phase and must be fixed.
Due to the volatile nature of “anything goes” during the open beta and the potential for bugs there will be a vault wipe when the open beta completes and the server launches. Unless explicitly specified, any roleplay that takes place during the open beta does not need to be automatically retconned. Any character wiped at the end of open beta can be immediately remade as a fresh character but is more than welcome to continue whatever IC story and relationships they gained during the testing process. The vault wipe will be meant to reset any mechanical ramifications of bugs or exploits as a consequence of the beta testing process, not a narrative reset.
Golarion Chronicles is a roleplaying server first and foremost, and while the goal of open beta is to test everything we still want to remind everyone to respect those that do roleplay and their stories. While test characters and normal characters may intermingle for testing purposes. Please refrain from using the “test” characters in a way that impacts the quality of roleplay for normal characters. Consider interactions with “test” characters to be ooc.
The most important aspect of testing in the open beta is to make it fun. For some people the most fun way to test a server is to play it legitimately as if it was fully live. For some people the most fun way to test a server is to repeatedly remake their character and try out different builds. Please respect playstyles during this time.
When the server finally launches we will revert to being a roleplay-enforced persistent world and test characters will be unable to intermingle with the normal playerbase.

- Making a character to roleplay and play normally is welcome during this time.
- Making a character to try and break and exploit every inch of the server is welcome so long as you report exploits when you find them.
- “Test” characters can be created to skip leveling and test every ability skill and class free reign.
