Win your very own Cities XL beta key through Massively! [Updated]

We first announced information on the upcoming Cities XL closed beta back in April, as readers were given the chance to participate in a special exclusive lottery promotion. Since then, many of you have shown interest in the game as we've continued to bring you the latest news and interviews about the game.

Today, we're happy to announce our involvement with the closed beta and your chance to win a key of your very own. To participate, all you need to do is leave a comment to this post telling us what Cities XL feature you're looking forward to the most. All participants will then be contacted with their unique key and instructions on downloading the client. We have 500 keys to give away total, so it's first come, first serve. Eligibility for this giveaway will close on Monday, June 22nd, 2009 at 7am EST. Good luck!

[Edit: Wow! All keys are now taken in the very first day. Comments will now be closed on the post, but look for more on the progression of Cities XL coming soon!]

Come on! It's Sim City online! How can you NOT be excited!

Can't wait to try this game. Looking forward to trying the multiplayer aspects out.

I love builder type games and something like this fits the bill. I would love to get in on this!

Always loved Sim City type games so would love to try an MMO style version.

As a big mmo and simcity fan, I am looking forward to seeing how these two genres interact!

I'm excited about the sheer scale of the game!

Looking forward to the online play. Being able to play with other cities and then able to trade even online when out of game. Looks to be a fairly social game and adding some neat innovative features. The GEMS also look amazing!

Collaborative building, baby. Bring it on!

I'm really sick and tired of fantasy MMO's, and I want to support the movement away from them. Also, I can't wait to see how cities and players interact, as opposed to the stagnant feeling of Simcity games. Should really provide a much better way to simulate city building.
