Hi all! I'm the developer of Harling, a fantasy MMORPG I've been building on my own. It runs natively on Linux: the launcher comes as a .deb for Ubuntu and Debian and as an AppImage for every other distro, and once installed it keeps the game updated by itself.
The world is Orand, a continent of 58 regions (these tests will focus on just one of them) where four ancient Labyrinths are starting to give way. There are six classes (Knight, Mage, Archer, Barbarian, Monk, Assassin), group dungeons and voice chat with the players around you.
Harling is in an early stage of development and still in testing, so not everything works well yet: expect bugs, balance that needs adjusting, graphics to improve and more. I'm looking for testers who enjoy playing and telling me what works and what doesn't. Spots are limited and invites go out in small waves. The server is in Europe, so the ping is best from here.

I'll be in the comments for any question, Linux ones especially. Thanks for reading!
Edit (Oct 12): in-game screenshots, only cropped to hide the HUD.
Update (Oct 16): a first gameplay video is up: https://youtu.be/DPfqgG2HInQ
Launcher in Italian only. Release notes, etc in Italian. Installs game in ~/.config/... Was not confident in continuing. No opion for account removal, so does not comply with gdpr, or local Italian privacy laws (AGID).
Thanks for actually trying it, this is the most useful report in the thread. The launcher only talks to playharling.com (game files, updates, login and game server); voice chat uses Cloudflare's STUN server. It should follow your system language: if it came up in Italian on an English system, that's a bug and I'll look into it. You're right about account deletion: until it's in the launcher, email info@playharling.com and I'll delete the account and its data.
