</em></a></div>
<a href="http://zodiac.enjoymmo.com/"><em>Zodiac Online</em></a>, the free-to-play offering from Ingle Games, entered closed beta <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/11/03/zodiac-online-enters-closed-beta/">early last November</a>. Since then the folks at <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ingle-games">Ingle Games</a> have been hard at work refining things, fixing bugs, and just generally preparing to move to the next phase.<br />
<br />
That next phase will arrive in just a few short days: open beta begins February tenth. The game predictably revolves around the <a href="http://www.chinesezodiac.com/">Chinese zodiac</a>, challenging you to assist the twelve creatures of the zodiac to defeat the forces of evil.<br />
<br />
If you fall in the "make love, not war" camp, never fear. There is another side to <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/zodiac-online"><em>Zodiac Online</em></a> that says <em>"give fate a chance and let it turn into a romance."</em> This game has a fate system based on astrology that will give you a heads up when a player is nearby that you are particularly compatible with -- or particularly incompatible with -- so you can follow up if you're so inclined.<br />
<br />

</em></a></div>
<a href="http://zodiac.enjoymmo.com/#nogo"><em>Zodiac Online</em></a>, the free-to-play MMO with a Chinese zodiac theme, entered closed beta on Sunday. They've made quite a few changes since alpha: <em>"we've corrected many bugs and added a lot of new content, now </em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/zodiac-online">Zodiac Online</a><em> Closed-Beta test is coming back in a very different appearance!" </em>If you took a look at the game in alpha, the new content -- including the addition of PVP -- may warrant a second trip to try the beta.<br />
<br />
The <em>Zodiac Online</em> storyline centers around the twelve Chinese zodiac signs - the dragon, tiger, ox, etc. -- and their battle against a force of demons heralding doomsday. Your job is to help the zodiac envoy defeat the demons.<br />
<br />
Beta keys are available through several outlets, including the Zodiac Online Facebook group, prearranged giveaways, and the "Good Wishes" program in which you register on the ZO site, <a href="http://zodiac.enjoymmo.com/forum/thread-284-1-1.html">leave good wishes in a forum thread</a>, and receive your key. (Zodiac Online obviously isn't too shy about handing out beta keys.)<br />
<br />
Closed beta is expected to last "several weeks depending on test results," and beta key information is available <a href="http://zodiac.enjoymmo.com/news/announcement/3-ways-to-get-activation-code.html">on the official site</a>.<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/2009/11/03/zodiac-online-enters-closed-beta/">Zodiac Online enters closed beta</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:00:00 EST.
