Nevermind, I found a post in Updates where the forums link was posted: http://forums.kingdomofloathing.com/vb/forumdisplay.php…
Creator Adam Gross 3 days ago
Is there anywhere where people can post questions about the game? I have read through the wiki ( http://wordrealms.coldfront.net/ ) but still am having trouble understanding how to gain strength/intelligence for my character after quests are done but before I'm strong enough to kill Lord Nightmare. I am hoping to find some Forums or something.
Creator Asymmetric on May 6
All backers should have gotten their download emails at this point. If you haven't, sending us a message on Kickstarter is a good way to clear things up. Thanks again for all your patience and support!
Creator John Reiter on May 6
I'm a $23 backer and haven't gotten a download email yet. Should I have gotten something by now?
Creator Jamie Dutton on May 1
Got my download email :) Thank you! Now to play!
Creator Jaclyn Knack on April 30
i hate to be pesty, but are there any updates for us $11 folks?
Creator Michael Carver on April 23
Only 6 months and counting late... I will start to worry when it gets to a full year late.
Creator Neil Day on April 7
Are you any closer to a finished product? An new progress update with an eta of final delivery would be most appreciated.
Creator Ryan K on April 4
Hopefully the $11 Backers get some love soon :D
Creator Asymmetric on March 22
Hey all! Just a heads up for the $11 backers — we are working right now on making a nearly-final version of the game that we can distribute to you, but it's proving to be MUCH more difficult than we had initially expected. We'll post an update as soon as we can, and in that next update you should finally be able to play the game. Thanks so much for all your patience, everyone!
Creator Bryy on March 22
My friend told me about this great idea he had for a fighting game.
I told him I bacled it almost a year ago.
He swears he will find you and rend you.
Creator revrazna on March 15
Guys.... Don't you think you should provide even the $11 backers with some kind of time frame? I don't think you can accuse us of being impatient. Even if the development of the game needs more time, I'd be happy to know more about your planned release date.
Creator Carolyn Bostick on February 17
Just realized I never got a beta code for this. Too late to claim mine?
Creator Matthew Meyerson on February 7
790 people still waiting on 2,602 people to quit hogging the game
Creator Cameron Miller on December 6
Also, you seem to need a lot of taunts. Perhaps crowdsourcing that would be a worthwhile endeavor? If you need people who are willing to make mean comments with a mediocre amount of humor, the internet is full of people who will do that for free.
Creator Cameron Miller on December 6
Greetings wonderful Asymetric team that brought us the wonderful Kingdom of Loathing and is also bringing us the wonderful Word Realms game. It is now December. December has many unique qualities, among them being later than October. According to your NUTSAQ, you'll have the game out for October, and backers will be able to play even if it's not bug free. Can we have access to the beta, even if it's not complete? Or does your NUTSAQ need a kicking?
Creator Fishy on November 6, 2012
Hey guys!
I'm in the $11 tier, but am also cursed with a rare medical condition that makes me exceptionally impatient, yet also very open to trying unfinished things.
Any chance you could help a guy out and let him sneak into the beta?
Creator Asymmetric on October 11, 2012
Hey there! If you pledged at the $23 level or above, you should have gotten an email from us (to the email address you use for your Kickstarter account, unless you specified something else to us) way back in July with your beta key and instructions on how to register.
It's possible some of the emails didn't get through, but we have records of everyone's beta key, so go ahead and post here or send us a message via Kickstarter, and we'll hook you up! (We've been replying privately to everyone that's posted about it thus far.)
Creator Andrew Clucas on October 10, 2012
Hi! Like others,I pledged my $23, but don't have a clue how to get onto the beta!
Thanks for any info! ;-)
Creator Fishy on October 9, 2012
Hullo happy folks. Any word on progress for us impatient fans?
Creator janedoeno4 on October 1, 2012
Oh man, I just came here to see how things were coming along with the beta rollout, and it seems everybody else has been playing for months! How does one acquire a password? I did fill out the survey way back when.
Creator Atarun on September 25, 2012
@Asymmetric: Thank you for clarifying the situation for me. :)
Best of luck to them.
Creator Asymmetric on September 24, 2012
Evertide, the folks behind the excellent Mr. Card Game Kickstarter, are a different company. They worked with us to develop it, and licensed the artwork and whatnot, but the card game is their design. We're really looking forward to it coming out!
Creator Atarun on September 24, 2012
I'm confused: you're the guys behind KoL, right? Are you also behind the Mr. Card Game project, but under a different name?
Creator Asymmetric on September 20, 2012
Sorry about the silence. Between the various Cons and work on KoL, work on Word Realms has been moving forward relatively slowly.
We've got a new tutorial system in place (but it needs polish), and have reworked the Brain-in-a-Jar's Nightmare, as well as a bunch of bug fixing and tweaks to the Gauntlet. Once KoL Con is over we'll be able to re-assess and hopefully get a new Beta build out as well as have some interesting things to say in a real update.
Creator Joe Niezelski on September 20, 2012
Same here. Things have gotten very quiet.
Creator Atarun on September 17, 2012
I'd love me a Word Realms update... ^^
Creator Robert Tso on September 8, 2012
I pledged $37, and I have no idea how to gain access to a beta account.
Creator Jen Braun on July 17, 2012
Thanks for creating the FB group....now let me in! LOL
Creator Asymmetric on July 16, 2012
Hey all! Comic Con is finally over and I slept for a continuous eight hours. The world looks shiny and new! I still have to drive all our of Con materials back to Arizona from San Diego, but I am hoping to start dealing with the dozen or so password and beta-key emails I've gotten from you tonight or tomorrow. Thanks so much for your patience!
Creator Diego Bank on July 15, 2012
I just beat my first Subjunctor Alchemist - and I gotta say - THIS GAME IS AWESOME!
I hope it becomes multiplayer.
Creator Aaron Crabtree on July 12, 2012
It works now. Thank you, if you helped. If not..... enjoy comiccon and thanks for nothing!
:-)
Creator Aaron Crabtree on July 12, 2012
My beta key does not seem to work.
Creator Asymmetric on July 12, 2012
Hey everyone! If you are having any issues with access to the beta (and you pledged $23 or more), please drop us a line here. We'll try to get back to you ASAP, though we are kinda crazy-busy at Comic Con this week, so please be patient!
Creator billdakat on July 12, 2012
For anyone on FaceBook I made a group for the beta testers.

Creator Joe Niezelski on July 12, 2012
Awesome. A little disappointed that it uses Flash (from playing The Binding of Isaac, it doesn't seem to scale well for large games), but it's still a lot of fun.
That last guy in the castle is brutal, though.
Creator Jodie Lirious (Pookah) on July 12, 2012
Loving the game. Thanks guys! <3
Creator Christofer Hallberg on July 12, 2012
There is some text under the flash-game.
Click on "All other feedback should go here." to get to the feedback/bug reporting page.
Creator LazarusLoafer on July 12, 2012
How does one go about reporting a (possible) bug?
Creator Asymmetric on July 11, 2012
We're working on it right now! Deciding to do this during our set-up days at Comic Con was probably a dumb plan, but I'm not gonna sleep till I get this done... At least, not on purpose.
Creator Peter on July 10, 2012
Today or tomorrow according to this thread

So... what's the word on this?
Creator Larry Liang on July 6, 2012
If you still need to fill out a survey, there should be something at the top of the Kickstarter website telling you that there's a survey you haven't filled out yet.
Creator Christofer Hallberg on July 6, 2012
I don't think $11 got the survey. If you pledged more, look under the "estimated delivery" when logged in. It should say something like "Survey sent: 06/26/12 • Your response". Click on "your response" to get to the survey.
Creator Aaron Crabtree on July 5, 2012
I didn't receive or missed my survey email. I will quickly respond when I get the resend.
Creator GeraldQL on July 5, 2012
Yeah, it's actually 100 out of 2634 and is about 3.8% of the people.
Creator JenniferJoy on July 5, 2012
we care about people who didn't respond to the survey?
missing 100 out of 3424?
that's about 0.029% of the people who gave you money.
Creator Paul Stanghetta on July 5, 2012
Whoever paid money for this and didn't respond to the god damn email: I will use every stat buff I have, phial of stenchform, and come to your house with a huge club and start LTSing all up in there. FILL IT THE F%#K OUT, HOW 'BOUT.
Creator Asymmetric on July 5, 2012
Hey all! We are getting very close to both the KoL item release and the beta test release. We are still missing about 100 survey responses, and due to the way the backend utilities for Kickstarter works, it's gonna be a lot more complicated to fulfill KoL items and/or beta test access if we don't have all (or almost all) the responses in. So I'm going to send out a reminder update today about that, and give a few more details about what's been going on over the past few days. Unless something unforeseen happens, I'm guessing that you'll be playing the beta by early next week!
Creator Justin Miller on July 4, 2012
Yup, and again, it would take all of 3 minutes to post "Still squashing some bugs! ETA might be pushed back again!" or maybe an amusing anecdote from the bug-smacking.
Like I said, the waiting isn't the issue, the needless "lack of ANY communication when said communication wouldn't be that big of a hassle" is what's irking me.
