<blockquote>''The term "alpha" is a tricky one, and it typically has 2 meanings in gaming. The development meaning for alpha is a point in the process where we are ready to test the fundamental systems in their core form, without polish and without much of the content. Then, there is the external or "marketing" term for alpha. This is typically applied to Eastern-ported MMORPGs, when in fact that is a completed game being localized for a region, and not really indicative of a true development alpha. As you may know by now, game development has many stages - from the initial tech demos to the pre-production and pre-alpha states, then on to the alphas and betas and eventually launch.''{{web|https://ashesofcreation.com/news/2020-10-16-creative-directors-letter|Blog: Creative Director's Letter, October 16 2020}}{{ndash|[[Steven Sharif]]}}</blockquote>
<blockquote>''I want to make emphatically clear, our alphas and betas are true development alphas and betas, and some have said I am crazy to allow these phases to be seen without an NDA…maybe I am crazy? lol… But I am trusting the community of gamers out there to get a glimpse into the process, and understand the long road ahead for what will eventually be worth the wait. Given time and talent, amazing things can happen, so make sure you help us in communicating that we are in open development which means people get to see the bare bones before the meat. And look, I know people see our 4K footage and say, "This looks better than most released games!", but trust me when I say, you ain't seen nothin’ yet.''{{web|https://ashesofcreation.com/news/2020-10-16-creative-directors-letter|Blog: Creative Director's Letter, October 16 2020}}{{ndash|[[Steven Sharif]]}}</blockquote>
