Thus far we don't know a whole heck of a lot about Frogster's Eligium (other than the fact that it features kung-fu pandas). The devs have released a trailer and kicked off the game's closed beta last month, but there's still a lot of mystery surrounding this particular MMO.
Thanks to an interview with Frogster community manager Piotr Dawidowicz, we now have a few more details to go on, including snippets about mounts, PvP, and the importance of the game's closed beta test.
"The closed beta for Eligium is not one of those marketing closed betas. We want to use this test phase effectively; it's not just a way to push the product," Dawidowicz explains. "We are intentionally not inviting the entire community to the closed beta. Many of the fans just want to see the finished product –- a polished game –- and don't want to bother with reporting bugs. That's why the closed beta is more of a privilege," he says.

It certainly wasn't a privilege to be in the beta, more like a complete letdown.
If I felt there was a way to fix the game I'd stay on and report bugs, but the whole thing feels incomplete and outdated already.

Sadly, bugs are the least of this game's problems.
I'm kind of shocked that Frogster even agreed to publish this one, given how much better their other products are, like Runes of Magic and Tera.

Another game with over-the-top armor/weapons and oh yes the great innovation of kung-fu pandas... (is that going to be the "new" thing this year? Kung-fu pandas? Seriously?)

This game would be the worst game of the year even if it came out 5 years ago...Stop promoting it on your site if you respect your readers.

DragonSoul was worse, but I still regret playing this beta.

This is just awful. Importance of beta testing? This is in pre-pre-pre-alpha state. The font renderer isn't even finished yet, half the in-game text is overlapping, or off the edges of windows.
It might be ready for closed beta testing in about twenty patches time, but I can't see anything in the description of the game to justify its existence. Another pointless title.
