FAQ:

Are the classes of A:IR gender locked?
Bluehole is planning to add both genders to each class.

What types of mounts and vehicles will A:IR have?
Aerial vehicles include airships, animal-type mounts, and bike-type vehicles. You can fly using a jetpack and a wingsuit even though they are not the same as mounts. Also, there is a ground mount, and a mech which can also be crafted by the users later.

How do I register on the test server or sign-up for CBT?
Currently, there is no test sign-up, but you can sign-up for our newsletter. Check back here on the official website, or follow us on our social media where we will release more information as it is available.

Will there be more classes at launch?
No additional classes are planned for launch. Each of the current classes, however, can be specialized into two sub classes. More information about sub-classes will be shared in the future..

Why was there lag in the teaser video?
The first video is an early CBT Build for the G-Star Demo. This and many features of the game will continue development and improvements will be made as the project continues.

What is the current build status, and how far along is development?
At this stage A:IR is at about 60% of completion.

What will be the main content focus at G-Star?
The theme of the G-Star build is Realm vs Realm (RvR). With A:IR RvR you will be able to experience airships and aerial battles. Players will also be able to go out into the game world to experience combat, exploration, and quests.

What is the pricing plan or business model for A:IR?
The business model that A:IR will use is, we know, a highly sought after answer but unfortunately, I do not have information that I can share at this moment. The model is still being discussed, and we will release the information as soon as possible.
What is the minimum specification?

Interesting little detail from this video is that at various points during his questing he opens the character sheet with armor and stuff. It looks like there are only 8 equipment slots: head, torso, belt, gloves, shoes and legs. For weapons its left hand and right hand. But underneath it there are 6 additional slots for something else, I wonder what that is. Its around 4:20 in the video.(edited)

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2017-11-29-bluehole-enters-a-post-pubg-world Interview with Bluehole CEO
GamesIndustry.biz
Bluehole enters a post-PUBG world
CEO Hyo-Seob Kim reflects on reaching a high point in Bluehole's ten year history, and returning to the studio's roots with its new game

Some important notes from the article:
- They want A:IR to not be time consuming, specifically saying that time is precious and games shouldnt take your entire life. "That means less grinding and more meaningful quests" "We think we can match that lifestyle, and make an MMORPG that you don't have to put your entire life into."

- It won't be subscription based and "the lower the barrier of entry the better" so Im guessing F2P. But that the bsns model might differ from region to region.

- Aimed at Western market as priority over Asian market.(edited)

Interview with A:IR devs.

Keynotes:

- Airship combat is a bit floaty which is by design but they are apparantely serious about listening to player feedback and implementing it so this might change, as it was one of the biggest problems with the game at G*Star.

- Character combat is good but still needs some work

- Factions confirmed

- Open world housing confirmed (around 1400 plots, 700 for each faction) but also instanced housing might be available if you didnt manage to grab a spot.(edited)

Ascent: Infinite Realm - Developer Interview & Final Thoughts from G-Star 2017 - MMORPG.com
As I sat across the table from Hyung-Jun Kim at GStar 2017 in Busan, South Korea, you could tell Ascent: Infinite Realm was clearly something Bluehole was passionate about. Even through the translator that passion came across - everything Kim spoke of lit his eyes up. There were so many questions to be answered, so many issues encountered during our gameplay session - especially with A:IR’s flagship (see what I did there?) feature - airship to airship combat.
