MMORPG "TwelveSky 2" has closed Beta Phase I and is now ready to enter Beta Phase II. The successor to the already popular "TwelveSky" will officially be opening up enrollments today (March 10th) for the second phase of Closed Beta in order to give more players in the Western market a sneak preview at the first English version of the game. Meanwhile the fun will continue on March 23rd as many additional players will be able to pick up arms with their fellow gamers and wander through the mesmerizing towns of ancient China in search of great adventure and conquest.
A post on their website says the following: "At this time we would like to officially proclaim that Closed Beta Phase I is now over. As a result, game access will be suspended until Phase II launches on March 23rd. During this time, we encourage all members to be active participants on our official message board while the Live Operations team works closely with ALT1 in order to make your upcoming experience even greater. It was an honor to finally join you all, side-by-side, during this gigantic milestone, and we look forward to even greater success!"
MAYN Interactive Pte Ltd., TwelveSky 2's European publisher is also very happy so far with the progress that is being made. "Having officially concluded as of March 9th, Closed Beta Phase I was a great success!" Said Young Shin, CEO of MAYN. "The user response was overwhelmingly positive, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank those players who participated in the test! Now that the initial testing is complete, we're excited to bring this fantastic title to the next level."
A month after its initial release, TwelveSky 2 soared to a top 5 position in the MMO genre in Korea and while the Taiwanese version is quickly gaining speed, they're also aiming for Europe now. As for the game itself, it's set in ancient China, where players are thrown into an age old conflict between three warring clans. Centered on the reemergence of a new faction, players must fight for the honor of their brothers or turn their backs in their hour of need. Packed with amazing martial art techniques, exotic weapons, armor and a robust battle system, the game is setting up to be a major success within the Free-to-Play space.

If you're looking for more fun Chinese themed games online, you could take a shot at playing some online keno. Keno was played in China over 3000 years ago and it thought to be the oldest game in history. You can just imagine the characters that you come across in TwelveSky 2 playing some Keno and trying their luck with the game known as "Chinese Lottery". Luckily, you don't have to be in ancient China anymore to play Keno, you can just sign up at any of the top online casinos around and get your game on. Keep in mind though that Keno is dependent of luck and that you can't apply any strategies like you would do in these RPG titles.
As for TwelveSky's second Beta Phase, remember that closed sign ups are now open so make sure you get more information at their website if you are interested.
