inb4 a million tech support and server state questions, here is some troubleshooting
>Epoch finally realized they are vibecoders who cannot handle a server, so they sold the server management to Ascension wow, who are now crunching to try to release before turtlewow fresh server sunday
>the spirit and premise of Epoch server as a pure vanilla+ with subtle tasteful additions to fit the vanilla world stay the same
>Dutch (ascension team lead) said days ago for you to delete the epoch launcher and keep the client, but now says a fresh client is better so delete it too (to avoid gnome troll zone bugs)
>if you had an epoch account use that to login to the ascension.gg site, which is based on emails. If you have same username as someone else on ascension "ascmerge" is added to the end of your username or you can use your email as username. If you had same email on both they are merged with your ascension password.
>You must login to the site once to confirm your account before login the game. Ascension password uses case sensitivity so when you first login the site it will permanently set the case sensitivity of your password, so turn off caps lock.
>After login download and install the ascension launcher. Best to install it and the client outside your Programs folder imo for future updates. Ascension launcher program will ask for privileges everytime it runs, it's ok.
>Inside the launcher there is a dropdown menu above the play button, you choose Epoch and it will install the client. You dont need 50GB as it says the client is the same at 13.5 GB. After it takes you to the loading screen build 3464. You enter the game through the launcher and can close it afterwards.
>Dutch said the next comes a big stress test until friday night but no set date yet. We are waiting for this now. After the post stress fixes they will schedule either another stress or launch depending how it goes.
>Epoch discord no longer matters, we are at the ascension discord for news now.
