Eager sandbox fans have been waiting -- some without showers or nutrition -- for word of the next phase of ArcheAge's beta testing for a while now. Happily, they can go spruce up their hygiene and eat a Big Mac now that XL Games has revealed the details about the upcoming closed beta test 4.
The good folks over on the ArcheAge blog have translated the news for us. If you've already been a part of the third beta test, you'll automatically be rolled over into this next one. If you haven't gotten into the beta yet, you can apply for CBT4 from today through Sunday, December 4th. Of course, you might need to brush up on your Korean if you do.
Lucky beta testers will be informed of their status by December 7th, with the beta test kicking off on the 8th of next month. ArcheAge's closed beta test 4 will have approximately 5,000 players when all is said and done.

Well, this seems to be going along "swinmmingly", the Beta test rollout, I mean.
Hope to get more insights and added wrinkles to the game.

Considering the lengthy 'westernisation' that Korean games go through; the game probably won't even be in EU/US closed beta a year after this game releases in Korea. 'Eager sandbox fans' will have to wait a very long time....

@MustardCutter If a company from NA/EU would talk to XLGAMES now and get the ball rolling, we wouldn't have to wait too long. Unfortunately, it seems most publishers are watching from afar, content to see if the game is a success or not before bringing it overseas.

According to info, this beta will feature a new third playable race as well as the whole third continent and its gameplay(the one where everything is entirely player built, where players can found countries with their own laws and rules, go to war, etc)

I, like many grizzled old gamers, am guilty of looking for the proverbial virgin mary in the burnt toast to find "the next best thing", reading way to much into vague developer quotes and beta info. If anyone remember Horizons, then later, Darkfall you know what I mean. Ahh Archeage, the return of the sandbox the cried... UO reincarnated.. a f2p anime cat people azn grinder UO... uh oh..

I hope they commit to being a sandbox game, ie craft's/world building etc, rather then make it some hybrid between that and the usual crap were feed.
Still got a while to go, in the mean time....... SKYRIM!
