Alpha FAQ[]
How do I get a key?[]
1. Watch for patch notes on the Trove subreddit every Tuesday and Thursday (usually), they usually have a multi-use key that is in the initial post, and later removed once the uses are up. Sometimes players will post their extra keys too.
2. Follow @Trovegame or the developers on Twitter and watch for keys in tweets and images.
3. Watch for livestreams offering give-aways.
4. Create an item or lair/dungeon for the game. If accepted, you will get instant access and some in-game credits, check out the Trove Creations subreddit for info.
5. Buy instant access to Trove .
Will everything be deleted between Alpha and Beta?[]
Yes (some worlds might be saved in a read-only state, but) all items, collections, inventories, worlds, cornerstones, characters, etc. will be wiped. Count on only player names remaining. Any in-game credits (rainbow coins) you have spent or accrued will be returned plus 50%. So if you spent $20 in Alpha, you will receive $30 worth of in-game credits after the server reset.
Will I still have access to Trove beta if I am already playing Trove alpha?[]
Yes. If you currently have access to Trove, you will have access to Trove forever and ever and ever. Also, Trove will eventually be free-to-play after the Beta.
