Howdy folks. Just want to give you all a heads-up with a few Beta updates.
First, the US Beta will be ending this Friday at 10:00AM PST. This will include
a full character wipe. Yeah, I know some of you didn´t get to play as long as
others, but the final game will be out in the US just a few days later.
That said, some time just before launch (don´t have a specific time/date
yet), we´ll actually be opening the Beta server back up for about a week. "This
makes no sense, Kaiser!" Well, maybe not at first, but not everyone will be able
to get the game on launch day for various reasons. This way, if you´re in the
Beta and are still waiting for your game to arrive, you´ll still be able to play
Hellgate. Also, the characters you create during this time will transfer over
into your retail account. Once this happens, any caps/restrictions will be
lifted. Yay! The characters will still have the Beta caps on them (such as level
caps and such), but you can at least get started with your characters.
Hmm, what else. Oh yeah. You might see a new server environment pop up. This
is mostly for testing the Patch 0 features internally, though some of you might
be able to see it. There´s no guarantee you´ll see it, but if you do, at least
you´ll know what´s going on. Also, this is important: if you do see it and get
access to it, any characters used on this server will be duplicates, so any
changes that occur to your character will not be reflected on the "normal"
servers, and vice versa.
Lastly, we´ll be starting a European Beta sometime soon. This will be short
and to the point, mainly as a last check on our servers. We´ll be sending out
invites to a select group of Europeans. If this includes you, please, try it
out. Though the game will be the same as the current US Beta, one, we need you
all to help us ensure the Euro servers are perfect, and two, you can get your
European account name before everyone else. Worth it, right? ^_^
Thanks everyone!
