MCCI is going to be constantly worked on with new content added. But for now, the developers want to keep the focus contained to ensure everything works properly.\u00a0 \u201cDo you have any idea how large the MCC community has gotten?? We know for a fact that we\u2019re not going to be able to support ALL those players who\u2019d like to play right away. We\u2019d actually explode,\u201d Noxcrew CEO Noxite said. \u201cIt\u2019s not an easy task to support thousands of players, as you need the hardware and the player moderation team to be able to support it, and we need time to be able to grow into that. A closed beta allows us to put some control on the total player-base there, sort of like a tap.\u201d Starting with the closed beta, players will have access to four games, with more to be added from the MCC lineup along with original content too. Full access to the island\u2019s quest and in-depth cosmetic crafting and customization systems will also be included, though they will be fleshed out over time too.\u00a0 The quest system is an early version of a \u201cfactions\u201d system that going to be implemented at a later date.\u00a0 Because this is a closed beta, the team warns it is mostly being used as a testing ground for progressions systems, features, and other elements. Progression wipes and other standard beta procedures will occur until MCCI is ready to launch into open beta, which will allow players to keep their progress.\u00a0 The MCCI closed beta is invite-only, with two types of entry tickets available: Admission Ticket and Fast Pass. Admission Tickets will be sent out at random for free in waves, giving players who have registered to the MCC mailing list a shot at a slot in the closed beta. A server queue system is also being implemented to compensate for a potential overflow of players.\u00a0 Noxcrew is launching a webstore to coincide with this launch, which will give players the ability to purchase a Fast Pass ticket. These will give you instant access to the server, and a place in the Fast Pass server queue if the server is full or experiencing a long wait time\u2014though the number of Fast Passes available will be limited.\u00a0 Noxcrew also plans to implement more monetization models into MCCI via their MCC Ecosystem as a way for players to support them. But the team is still dedicated to providing a quality experience for all players and ensuring they monetize things \u201cthe right way\u201d by the players. Plus, purchases made during the beta will reward players with unique exclusives.\u00a0 You can learn more about the closed beta and how to sign up on the official MCCI website.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/22133924\/Hub_Scenic.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640942"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=640942"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640942\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":640970,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640942\/revisions\/640970"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/640953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=640942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=640942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=640942"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=640942"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=640942"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=640942"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=640942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
