ZEDx Rollout - The Five Phases Explained!

There are five phases of development; we are currently in Phase 1 - Internal Testing. This is the longest phase with tests ranging from small systems functionality to piecing together core gameplay mechanics and performance.

Alpha or Phase 2 begins once we have confirmed internal signals. This will be open to a small group of external users to collect feedback on gameplay, useability issues, engagement and UX. Early testers may join around October/November, but dates are flexible based on progress towards internal benchmarks. The date for the waitlist will be announced at the next AMA. 

Invites will be sent through a Google form, focusing on players who provide helpful feedback and are actively engaged. Players who have been negative or unhelpful won't receive early invites, despite their leaderboard ranking.

Phase 3 - Closed Beta is expected by year-end, leading to Phase 4 - Open Beta, and then full launch. The emphasis will be on thorough testing and quality before advancing phases.

Phase 5 = GTM!

$50k Maiden Madness!

The latest ZED RUN Maiden Stakes saw great performances across all classes. In C1, Broken Past from Champions Est Ii stable sprinted to victory, while Xploding Rockette, owned by MNP, dominated the Midrunners. For Marathoners, Bee Success from Crazy Horse took the crown. Huge congrats to all!

In C2, the sprinter Glass Portfolio from MNP, mid-runner Wreckage from SSR-Thors-Pony-Palace, and marathoner Echolation from Dads Un-stable took out the first place on the track with well-deserved wins.

Players can rest assured that all payouts are being processed, and champions  who placed 4th-6th will receive their well-earned rewards. In the meantime, let’s celebrate another great tourney with many rising stars coming into their own!
