Closed beta keys for <a href="http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/"><em>Final Fantasy XIV</em></a> are a pretty hot commodity these days, and <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/">FilePlanet</a> has managed to get it's virtual hands on some.<br />
<br />
The site is being very clear that this is a limited number of keys, and the FilePlanet powers-that-be are acting accordingly. You'll need to be a FilePlanet or Founders' Club subscriber in North America, you'll need to watch closely, and you'll need to be fast. They'll release one batch of keys every day until August 16th, and once they're all claimed for the day, that's it.<br />
<br />
To try your hand, stake out <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/final-fantasy-xiv/">FilePlanet's beta key giveaway page</a>, and good luck!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/08/13/fileplanet-offering-ffxiv-beta-keys/">FilePlanet offering FFXIV beta keys</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 13 Aug 2010 21:00:00 EST.

Thinking of returning to <a href="http://www.aiononline.com"><em>Aion</em></a> to check out the 1.9 patch? You're not alone, as folks are beginning to trickle back into the world of Atreia to partake in the improved XP and other tweaks. If you've deleted the game from your hard drive, or you're a new player, you might want to check out the full client torrent that <a href="http://www.ncsoft.com">NCsoft</a> has just released.<br />
<br />
Given that the game has been out for nine months, and has been patched fairly regularly, you're likely to have a lengthy download and update process if you re-install from your original game discs. Happily, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ncsoft">NCsoft</a> has bundled the entire game client, as well as all the patches up to and including last week's 1.9, into a file that you can grab from <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/204286/200000/fileinfo/Aion-Client-v1.9">FilePlanet</a>. Alternatively, you can can grab a torrent from <a href="http://www.gamershell.com/download_59678.shtml">GamersHell</a> or <a href="ftp://ftp.ncsoft.com/Aion/Client/Torrent/Aion1.9.0.1_FullInstaller.zip.torrent">NCsoft's</a> own server.<br />

Are you looking forward to <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/rise-of-the-godslayer"><em>Rise of the Godslayer</em></a>?  Do you feel like it can't come soon enough?  We've got less than a week to go until launch, but some fans aren't going to have to wait that long.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/">Fileplanet</a> announced a sneak peek of <a href="http://www.ageofconan.com/"><em>Age of Conan'</em></a>s first expansion for their subscribers.  If you're among that number, you have access to a key via their <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/rise-of-the-godslayer/">promotion page</a>.  If you're not, Fileplanet will of course be very happy to let you subscribe via the same page.  While the expansion itself won't be available until tomorrow, the download is available now to allow subscribers to install ahead of time and jump right in once the sneak peek begins.<br />
<br />
This is the full expansion rather than a limited version, but it's important to note that the page specifies North American subscribers as well as a limited number of keys, so <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/rise-of-the-godslayer/">grab one quickly</a> if you're interested!<br />

With the <a href="http://www.ageofconan.com/"><em>Age of Conan</em></a> expansion <a href="http://www.riseofthegodslayer.com/"><em>Rise of the Godslayer</em></a> approaching, opportunities for new and returning players to explore the game (or revisit it) have been more frequent than usual these days.<br />
<br />
The latest offer comes via <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/">FilePlanet</a>. If you're a FilePlanet subscriber, you can play the first part of the game for free in an unlimited trial. The offer is good until December 31st, but as long as you download before then, your trial will not expire. FilePlanet has a limited number of keys for this offer as well.<br />
<br />
As a bonus, anyone taking FilePlanet up on their offer will receive a free <a href="http://aoc.wikia.com/wiki/Enruned_Kosalan_Ring">Enruned Kosalan Ring</a>, which was previously an in-game bonus available for buying an <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/age-of-conan"><em>Age of Conan</em></a> ZBoard keyset. The ring offers melee, ranged, and magic damage bonuses, as well as a +1% evade chance bonus.<br />
<br />
The offer is available to customers in North America and Europe, and can be <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/age-of-conan/unlimited-trial/">accessed through FilePlanet</a>.<br />

While we don't have any exact information to offer on what those items are, it still sounds like a nice plethora of stuff for buying the game early.<br /><br />Of course, partnering with D2D means partnering with <a href="http://www.ign.com">IGN</a>, and that means that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/alganon"><em>Alganon</em></a>'s beta will be conducted exclusively through <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com">Fileplanet</a>.  Those guys over there will be the keepers of the Alganon beta keys from here on out, so look to them if you're interested in the game's upcoming open beta.</div>

<a href="http://aiononline.com">Aion's</a> <a href="http://massively.com/tag/aion-open-beta">open beta</a> is <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/27/ncsoft-announces-aion-na-and-eu-open-beta-details/">officially on the way</a> so everybody will be able to sample the delights of Atreia between September 6th and 13th. Ahead of this, <a href="http://massively.com/tag/ncsoft">NCsoft</a> has <a href="http://eu.aiononline.com/uk/news/open-beta-client-now-available-for-download-1.html">announced</a> the availability of the <a href="http://massively.com/category/aion"><em>Aion</em></a> beta client. The client can now be downloaded from various corners of the internet, including <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/201991/200000/fileinfo/Aion-Game-Client">FilePlanet</a> and <a href="http://www.gamershell.com/pc/aion_the_tower_of_eternity/">GamersHell</a>, but the company has also announced they are making it available via <a href="ftp://ftp.ncsoft.com/Aion/Client/Torrent/AionFullInstaller_1.5.0.1.zip.torrent">BitTorrent</a>.<br /><br />Despite its shady reputation as the medium of choice for file-sharers and illegal downloads, BitTorrent itself is quite legal. Indeed it's a popular method of downloading files which has been embraced by numerous companies over the years. However, if you still want to use traditional methods, NCsoft has also announced that FilePlanet will be giving away a selection of open beta keys beginning Tuesday, September 1st. But anyone who has pre-ordered the game or won a full beta key from a competition just have to bid their time until the open beta begins.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/28/aion-open-beta-client-now-available-for-download/">Aion open beta client now available for download</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:00:00 EST.

The keys are limited, so we hope that by the time you see this there are still some available.<br /><br />For those of you who're still here and not rushing to download the key as soon as possible, there's a thread over on the official forums <a href="http://forums.champions-online.com/showthread.php?t=27825">explaining how to make use</a> of your newly obtained key.

Why yes it is! <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/sparkplay-media">Sparkplay Media</a>'s <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/earth-eternal">Earth Eternal</a></em> has made it to <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/free-games/earth-eternal/">the top of the free games listing</a>... except for the fact that <em>EE</em> is still in closed beta.<br /><br />Fileplanet's link, while enticing, will not get you instant access into the closed beta. What it will do, however, is <a href="http://www.eartheternal.com/affiliate?code=fileplanet">sign you up for an account</a> that will let you be eligible to be selected for the closed beta. It will not let you play the game immediately, but it will certainly net you a chance at playing sooner rather than later.<br /><br />According to Sparkplay Media, Fileplanet will be involved with getting the game and the word out there, but it seems they've jumped the gun in releasing their link for the game.

Yes, that's right, the apocalypse <a href="http://www.fallenearth.com/node/136">opens up its doors to all on August 17th</a>. If you're really eager for the apocalypse, however, then we suggest you hurry on over to <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com">Fileplanet</a> and sign up for an account, as they're going to be the ones handing out access to <a href="http://www.fallenearth.com"><em>Fallen Earth</em></a>. Fileplanet will be making the <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/fallen-earth">Fallen Earth</a></em> beta accessible for download on Friday, August 14th, for all of you who want to get that download rolling early.<br /><br />If you're really excited for <em>Fallen Earth</em>'s launch on September 9th, then you can also hop over to Direct2Drive and <a href="http://www.direct2drive.com/8137/product/Buy-Fallen-Earth-Download">grab yourself a pre-order</a> of the game. Pre-orders not only get guaranteed access to the beta, but they also get the exclusive in-game mount, the Wasteland Runner. The special mount has four more points of defensive skills, 2500 extra stamina, and six more pack slots over other horses.<br /><br />Even more importantly, pre-order customers will be getting a five day head start in the game. Yes, that's right, five days! This means the pre-order customers will be jumping into the game on September 4th, while everyone else will get to experience the Grand Canyon on the 9th.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/12/fallen-earth-moves-into-open-beta-on-august-17th/">Fallen Earth moves into open beta on August 17th</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 12 Aug 2009 16:00:00 EST.

Yes, we know, that title sounded like a complete oxymoron. How can a closed beta be open to everybody? It just doesn't make any sense!<br />
<br />
We understand your confusion, but it's best not to question it. <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com">Fileplanet</a> is giving out <em><a href="http://huxley.ijji.com">Huxley: The Dystopia</a></em> closed beta keys to all account holders now, not just their subscribers. <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/huxley/beta/?_cmpid=fp191">A couple quick button presses</a> is now all it takes to find yourself braving the lunar apocalypse with all of your friends!<br />
<br />
A small note of instruction: if you get your beta key from Fileplanet, you will have to still make an <a href="http://member.ijji.com/register.nhn?signupFrom=IGN">ijji.com account</a> for the closed beta test. You can do that right over at the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/huxley"><em>Huxley</em></a> <a href="http://huxley.ijji.com/cbt.nhn">closed beta page</a> without much fuss at all. Now go forth and kick those Sapiens all the way back to the early days of evolution.<br />
<br />
<strong>Update:</strong> As so many commenters have pointed out, this offer is only available for the US and Canada. European gamers, it appears, are locked out of this promotion being offered by Fileplanet.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/04/huxleys-closed-beta-now-open-to-everyone-via-fileplanet/">Huxley's closed beta now open to everyone via Fileplanet</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 04 Aug 2009 13:00:00 EST.

		The e-mail announcements have gone out and clients are being downloaded as <a href="http://huxley.ijji.com/"><em>Huxley</em></a> fans prepare for closed beta test phase two! The servers will be opening up tomorrow for CBT1 veterans and CBT2 recruits alike, starting at 2:00 PM Pacific time and staying open until 10:00 PM Pacific.

		<br />
		Closed beta test participants have already received e-mails informing them of their acceptance to the new phase of beta. Former participants should delete their old <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/huxley"><em>Huxley</em></a> clients and download the new, larger client from the <a href="http://huxley.ijji.com/cbt.nhn">closed beta test main page</a>.<br />
		<br />
		Weren't accepted or didn't sign up? Well, bad news first, the closed beta registration is over. However, for those of you who are <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/">FilePlanet subscribers</a>, you can run over there and <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/huxley/beta/">still pick up a key</a> if you weren't in CBT1.<br />

		Closed beta phase two will be running until Wednesday, August 12th, and 10:00 PM Pacific time.</div>

The <a href="http://www.fallenearth.com/"><em>Fallen Earth</em></a> <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/fallen-earth/">stress test</a> that is being run through Fileplanet (which <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06/22/fallen-earth-stress-test-begins-this-tuesday-june-23rd/">we reported on</a> a few days ago) <a href="http://www.fallenearth.com/node/116">has had the "subscriber-only" restriction lifted</a>. Because of this, those that were on the fence about paying for the beta will now only need to register for a regular Fileplanet account to get into the game -- a much easier decision to make, we're sure you'll all agree. <br /><br />If you do want to give the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/fallen-earth/"><em>Fallen Earth</em></a> stress test a go at the new bargain price of 'free', sooner is better than later, as there is a limited amount of promotional keys to be given away (you can get them <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/fallen-earth/">here</a>).

<a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/fallen-earth/">A stress test</a> for <em><a href="http://www.fallenearth.com/">Fallen Earth</a> </em>will begin on Tuesday the 23rd of June, giving the masses a chance to get into the game -- that is, if they're Fileplanet subscribers. Participation is only available to Fileplanet subscribers and subscribing does cost money, so it's not exactly an "open" test, but it should let a lot more people into the game than <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/02/04/fallen-earth-announces-closed-beta/">the closed beta</a> before it.<br /><br />The game client can be pre-loaded ahead of the stress test launch, and computer specification info has been provided so that you can make sure that your rig is up to scratch:<br /><em><br /><strong>Minimum Specifications:</strong><br /> 	 CPU: Intel P4 2.8 GHz or equivalent<br /> 	 RAM: 1 GB for XP, 2 GB for Vista <br /> 	 Video Card*: nVidia GeForce 6600/ATI Radeon X1300<br /> 	 RAM (dedicated): 256 MB 	 <br /><br /><strong>Recommended:</strong><br /> 	 CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz or equivalent<br /> 	 RAM: 2 GB for XP, 3 GB for Vista<br /> 	 Video Card*: nVidia GeForce 8800GTS/ ATI Radeon 3870<br /> 	 RAM (dedicated): 512 MB 	 </em> 	 	 <br /><br />Now the question remains for those who aren't already Fileplanet subscribers but want to try out <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/fallen-earth"><em>Fallen Earth</em></a>: are you willing to <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/fallen-earth/subscribe.aspx">fork up the cash</a>?<br /><br />[Thanks Brian!]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06/22/fallen-earth-stress-test-begins-this-tuesday-june-23rd/">Fallen Earth stress test begins this Tuesday, June 23rd</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 22 Jun 2009 10:00:00 EST.

Up until now, the only way to try <em>WAR</em> for free was if you received an invitation from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/12/22/get-your-friends-and-go-to-war/">Mythic's Recruit-a-Friend program</a>. For a limited time, anyone to takes the free trial through FilePlanet will also receive $5.00 off the full purchase on <a href="http://www.direct2drive.com/">Direct2Drive</a>.<br /><br />You can <a href="http://www.warhammeronline.com/trial/download.php">download the trial here</a>. The trial will expire 10 days after you activate your account, even if you don't log in. Trial accounts are restricted to tier one and capital city zones. You may purchase items from the auction house and receive in-game mail but you can not sell items on the AH or send in-game mail (to prevent spam/bot accounts). Trial characters can only be created on designated servers. Check <a href="http://www.warhammeronline.com/faq/index.php">the official free trial FAQ</a> for more details.<br /><br />It is unknown when or if the 10-day trial offer will expire. The ideal time try <a href="http://massively.com/tag/warhammer-online"><em>WAR</em></a> for the first time is probably in early March <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/02/12/test-server-patch-notes-for-warhammers-bitter-rivals-event-re/">once they implement the 1.2 patch</a>.

Sitting in a download queue for a day or more just to begin the 10 gigabyte file download is a bit ridiculous, but companies like FilePlanet are banking on our impatience. So is working through a third-party download site who requires a separate subscription really the best choice for us? If not, who do you think is doing it right? Or better yet, how can it be done right?<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/09/11/the-daily-grind-whats-the-perfect-download-client/">The Daily Grind: What's the perfect download client?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 11 Sep 2008 08:00:00 EST.

<div align="left">Some are in the closed beta, many many others are in the open beta. We thought we'd ask you this morning how your first weekend of the open <a href="http://www.ageofconan.com/"><em>Age of Conan</em></a> beta went? With our team, the experiences ran the gamut. For some, there were only one or two minor things we noticed and the rest was smooth as silk. Others of the team had horrendous crashes of the client all weekend long, and at least a couple of folks weren't able to get in at all, hitting <a href="http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=79563">the authentication errors</a> that some have noted on the forums. (They're waiting on mail replies from support too, so you're not alone out there.) <br /><br />So how was your experience with the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/age-of-conan"><em>Age of Conan</em></a> beta this weekend? Did you find anything that caused massive problems? How about things that were really done well? Did it make you decide to order -- or cancel your pre-order? Do you just not care? <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/age-of-conan-guide">We've told you</a> what <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/05/01/massivelys-state-of-the-game-age-of-conan-beta/">some</a> of the team here thinks; now we want to hear from you!</div>

<div align="left">What is best in life? If you listen to most of the people who would pop by <a href="http://www.massively.com">Massively</a> on a Sunday, that would involve playing MMOGs! This weekend is no exception for most of the staff here. Many of us find ourselves in the <a href="http://www.ageofconan.com"><em>Age of Conan</em></a> beta, which is where today's <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/one-shots">One Shots</a> was taken. This screen is of the blockaded town of Tortage, crushed cruelly under the fist of Strom. We won't give away any spoilers for those of you who are looking forward to this game, but this blogger can say that it is running surprisingly well on her machine, despite it being in beta. <br /><br />Have you been playing in the open beta this weekend? Perhaps you're sticking with your favorite MMO instead. Wherever your travels take you this weekend, we'd love to see screenshots of them! Just pack them up and send them to us at oneshots AT massively DOT com.

This time, we're set for 5:00 PM EST (22.00 GMT). Thanks Phobic99!]</em><br /><br />The title says it all. The <a href="http://community.ageofconan.com"><em>Age of Conan</em></a> <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com">FilePlanet</a> beta has been <a href="http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?p=1844903#post1844903">pushed back until 4 PM EST (20.00 GMT)</a> for a few more spit shines and polishes before it throws itself into your loving arms.<br /><br />The reason for the delay stems from the developers wishing to get in that one last hotfix onto closed servers before opening them up to the public. So, if you haven't logged onto Conan yet, we recommend you do so to get your client up to date. Only the game servers are down, the patching servers are not.<br /><br />If you completely haven't attempted to log in yet, you will be presented with a 300 mb patch, so if you're a rabid Conan fan and want to get into the beta the second the servers go live, it's recommended you try to start the client now to get yourself ready. Especially if you want to hit that level cap for the <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/ageofconan/beta/contest.aspx">FilePlanet power levelling contest</a>.<br /><br />In the mean time, why not go watch some television or something? You know, <em><a href="http://www.nbc.com/Law_&amp;_Order/">Law and Order</a></em> is on at 2:00 PM EST on <a href="http://www.tnt.tv/">TNT</a>.

A lot of <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://community.ageofconan.com/wsp/conan/frontend.cgi?func=frontend.show&amp;template=main">Age of Conan</a> fans have felt slighted over the recent Fileplanet "Open Beta" happening on May 1st. The reason? <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/17/age-of-conan-hits-exclusively-open-beta-on-may-1st/">You have to be a Fileplanet subscriber to have access to the beta</a>, which means you have to pony up some cash. We feel it's important for Funcom to explain the reasoning behind the Fileplanet beta and apparently, so does <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/03/27/an-all-things-age-of-conan-interview-with-jorgen-tharaldsen/">J&oslash;rgen Tharaldsen</a>, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/funcom">Funcom's</a> product director.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm?GAME=191&amp;BHCP=1&amp;FEATURE=1915&amp;bhcp=1">J&oslash;rgen begins his explanation</a> by citing the fact that up until this point, nobody has been charged in any way for beta access. It's true, in fact thousands of players have participated in the <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/age-of-conan">Age of Conan</a> beta without paying a cent. The reason being that these players are supposed to be helping Funcom out with testing and not only playing the game for their enjoyment.<span style="font-style: italic;"></span><p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/30/jorgen-tharaldsen-explains-the-age-of-conan-open-beta/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Jørgen Tharaldsen explains the Age of Conan open beta</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/30/jorgen-tharaldsen-explains-the-age-of-conan-open-beta/">Jørgen Tharaldsen explains the Age of Conan open beta</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 30 Apr 2008 09:00:00 EST.

Of course, it might just be a way to keep track of which players get to test higher-level content, but one would think that that honor would go to those with a paid FP account, as opposed to the free account holders at mmolecule. <br /><br />Regardless, the mmolecule contest is live right now for members only; if you're not already a member, <a href="http://aoc.mmolecule.com/news/news.mmo?id=e1a7a1d2-b8dc-4fa5-ab38-61d1498a7d19">sign up immediately</a> and follow the instructions on the site for your chance to win!<br /><br />[Thanks, Dekun!]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/18/mmolecule-offers-sexier-aoc-keys/">mmolecule offers sexier AoC keys</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 18 Apr 2008 04:00:00 EST.

Now, being available on FilePlanet means it's more of an 'exclusively open beta' -- you will have to be a member to receive the download.<br /><br />Additionally, from the press release: 'Funcom would like to point out that the primary function of the Open Beta is to stress test <em>Age of Conan</em> prior to launch. This means that Funcom will not make the entire game available to the Open Beta testers, and a level 13 cap will be applied.' So no matter how quickly you progress through the content, you're not going to be able to see any of the higher-level stuff; this might mean no siege warfare, or city building, or ridable mounts.

<em><a href="http://www.dreamlords.com">Dreamlord</a></em>'s highly anticipated sequel <em>The Reawakening</em> has now entered the closed beta stage. What does this mean for us? It means the game is closer to release, of course! Initially the beta test will be open exclusively to the registered users of <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com">FilePlanet</a>, but will be made public later next week.<br /><br />If you're not familiar with <em>Dreamlords: The Reawakening</em>, you may be pleasantly surprised by a few of it's features. The game will not only be free to play, but will also offer upgrades, items and gear that will boost your Dreamlord (for money). The best feature of all? There will be a simplified rule system! Yay! It just wouldn't be a current MMO if it didn't have simplified rules.

Okay, the only thing that got me through Wednesday, a day fraught with meetings, numberless revisions, and a never-ending cold, was the thought that I'd be playing the <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/mabinogi">Mabinogi </a></em>open beta that night. So I visited the <a href="http://mabinogi.nexon.net/">homepage</a>, only to be told that the client was exclusively available to <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com">FilePlanet </a>users. Fine, I'm a FP user, I'll get it there. Once there, I clicked the download link, only to be told 'Sorry, this program is for North American users only!'<br /><br />Now, I've been accused in the past of not living in reality, and that's an argument with some merit to it. But my corpus has always inhabited North America; indeed, I live in San Francisco, which, unless FP knows something about a new secession that I'm unaware of, is located in California, which is one of the United States. Where does FP think I live?<br /><br />Running it down reveals that FP's IP Blocker seems to think that while my <em>home</em> computer resides somewhere outside of North America, trying access from my <em>work</em> computer works fine. Just in case, however, I'll be downloading the client directly from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/nexon">Nexon</a>. One night of <em>downloadus frustrationis</em> is quite enough.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/03/06/mabinogi-not-available-to-north-americans-who-live-in-north-amer/">FilePlanet IP Blocks download; thinks domestic computer is foreign</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 06 Mar 2008 13:00:00 EST.

I don't mind a little chicanery from time to time, especially if the payoff is an earlier-than-expected gift. Regardless, to play this title you'll need to obtain an access code, which you'll be able to get in the following ways:<br /><br />Registered users of FilePlanet have access to a limited number of beta codes as of Tuesday, and what's more, these users can access the closed beta immediately, days ahead of schedule. The day of closed beta launch, both MMORPG.com and MMOSITE.com will have codes available. Wednesday, March 26th at 10 AM PST marks the end of the closed beta. FilePlanet users, time to see if there's anything left.<br /><br />[Thanks, Colin!]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/02/27/requiem-bloodymare-closed-beta-officially-begins-february-29th/">Requiem: Bloodymare closed beta officially begins February 29th</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 27 Feb 2008 01:00:00 EST.

<strong>Update 1:</strong> Reader Errantdreams pointed out that the open beta was available for closed beta testers and paying Founders Club members of Fileplanet since December 3rd.<br /><strong>Update 2: </strong>Some digging on the forums has led to the discovery that <a href="http://gamers.eurogamer.net/giveaways.php?id=11">you can get your free beta key right now</a> from Eurogamer.net. Hurry over to get yours!<br /><br />Last week Flying Lab Software lifted the NDA on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/pirates-of-the-burning-sea/"><em>Pirates of the Burning Sea</em></a>, and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2007/12/03/potbs-nda-lifted-open-beta-details/">dished out some open beta details</a>. As of the 7th of December, the open beta for <em>PotBS</em> has been available for Fileplanet subscribers.<br /><br />We also learned that the open beta proper is supposed to begin four days after the short Fileplanet-exclusive access period. This should mean that everyone else will be able to sail the Burning Seas on December the 11th, or <em>very soon</em> now. In a matter of hours you may be beginning your nautical adventure. The thing is, the original news story from the <em>PotBS</em> site also states that the full open beta will begin "within a week" of the Fileplanet stage -- so hopefully the more specific "four days" is the one they stick to.<br /><br />If you are in fact a Fileplanet subscriber then you could already have been playing, and you can <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/potbs/">visit Fileplanet's <em>PotBS</em> beta page</a> to salvage what is left of your headstart. If not, the <a href="http://www.burningsea.com/page/home"><em>PotBS</em> homepage</a> is probably where you want to be, crossing your fingers and hoping that you'll be joining the other scurvy dogs soon.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2007/12/10/reminder-pirates-of-the-burning-sea-open-beta-has-already-begun/">Reminder: Pirates of the Burning Sea open beta has already begun for Fileplanet users, others very soon [updated]</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 10 Dec 2007 20:15:00 EST.

We've got exciting news from the the high seas (otherwise known as our favorite upcoming pirate-themed game, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/pirates-of-the-burning-sea/"><em>Pirates of the Burning Sea</em></a>). First up, there's a stress test scheduled to start tomorrow and last until Sunday, so for those of you curious about the game, <a href="http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/potbs/index.aspx">head over to FilePlanet to sign up</a>. And next on the agenda, game <a href="http://www.burningsea.com/page/news/article&amp;article_id=10466">pre-order boxes</a> have become a reality! Head over to your local Best Buy, Fry's, EB Games/GameStop, or CompUSA to make sure you have your pre-order reserved -- and set yourself up with two weeks of pre-launch playtime (with the ability to keep your character after launch), a vanity pet, a unique sword, and a game soundtrack CD.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2007/11/14/pirates-of-the-burning-sea-stress-test-pre-orders/">Pirates of the Burning Sea stress test, pre-orders</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 14 Nov 2007 07:30:00 EST.
