Have you lain awake at nights wishing that you could take part in testing an MMORTS themed after ancient Greece? If so, you've got some rather specific issues, but you're also in luck. Immortal King, a browser-based MMORTS, is entering the open beta phase on Thursday, September 22nd. And as with many open betas, it's giving players a chance to take part in a variety of special events during the testing phase.
Players who travel to the official site will be given an opportunity to obtain a special "Newbie Card" to get started in the game easily, and high-ranking players in factional duels also have the opportunity to earn in-game gold. There are also forum events, encouraging players to contribute to the game's knowledge base for more in-game rewards. There are only a couple of days left until the open beta goes live, so if you've been staying up late, you can take heart that your oddly specific sleepless nights are soon to end.

Man I don't know. Looks like everything already out there. I'm supposed to be excited about Greece. Maybe Greek food.

A little snooping around tells me that the developer of this game is also behind that audaciously blatant curb-stomping of copyright that is Pockie Ninja (that game takes characters, ideas and plot-points wholesale from both the Naruto and Bleach animes. I'm very amused at their boldness, but I can't help wondering how the hell they haven't been sued off the face of the earth yet).
Anyway, that pretty much kills any sort of interest I might have in this game. I might consider both Naruto and Bleach pretty damn terrible as far as quality is concerned, but I have a feeling that even these shows have more internal consistency and coherence than what these 'devs' dish out on a regular basis.
