Hello Skylords,
So now, let's talk about what we're going to do after all you will have to wait a bit longer, and please forgive us for this delay.
We have decided on a few things:
Everyone will receive 2 boosters once the game will be in open beta (you'll still get them even after a potential reset)
From the 1st of February and until the Open beta, we'll invite some players everyday to the closed beta, to increase the amount of players, progressively (Giveaways will happen anytime during the day, morning, afternoon, evening ..)
You'll be able from now to pre-download the client, and we finally after a lot of discussion decided to give the client here on the forum ourselves. Want to pre-download it ? You can use Mediafire or MEGA to download it! (You cannot start the game right now, you'll have to wait for open beta, and the release of our launcher to make it work.)
INFORMATION : Giveaways for the Closed Beta will resume! These giveaways will mainly be held on Discord, but it may also happen on the forum, so keep following these two closely!

With kind regards and apologies for any inconvenience caused,
This is absolutely fine, most people have been waiting for so long that an extra month makes no difference, we are happy for your progress and until you feel comfortable with what you've build and are ready to release it to the public, we should all be fine with waiting and just grateful of what we're getting.

=============================
Important notes from @fiki574 regarding Open Stress Testing Phase:
Promo cards - Will be in booster packs, except for the event promos like Santa and Easter Egg which will be related to the seasonal event.
Boosters - Boosters will be a mixture of all sets for now.
Speed run / map of the month - Will be available at start of Open Stress Test.
Starter decks - You will start with 4 different starter decks, one of each color (Fire, Frost, Nature, Shadow).
Tomes - Tomes will not be in Skylords Reborn at all.
New accounts - All players will have new accounts and will be named the same as their Forum account this is due to us not having access to the data files from EA regarding accounts.
