After a week in closed beta, cozy MMO Palia is entering its open beta phase today, welcoming everyone into its online life sim of gathering, gardening, and decorating. It's been a hectic week for the developers, who have been combating server issues all throughout the closed beta. Despite that, Singularity 6 is pushing its free-to-play game out into the public today with promises to continue working on fixes to the issues players have been experiencing.
The developers have been delivering server status updates to their Discord community over the past week, acknowledging issues like crashing, queue times, long load screens, and downtime for server maintenance. Some players were experiencing blocked progress, missing tools, and getting trapped on their housing plot. House arrest isn't really my idea of cozy, even with those bright blue skies.
