Also, to clear up some info:
I just read the anouncement that is there when you click on the banner on the main page, and here's the gist:
They are thanking all the testers and announcing they will begin "Double Beta" on the 13th or 14th. As to what this means regarding whether or not it will be "Open beta", I'm not sure. They don't specifiy.
They next say that they are changing the client from a web-based start up to a stand-alone client (thank god). They say this was the number 1 feedback suggestion from the testers (smart people).
Then they just say that they are adding a mount system to the game.
Finally, they say on the 4th they will make an announcement as to what will happen next.
Ok, having just read that I realized they must have made the announcement. So I checked the fron page and sure enough, an announcement:
Summary:
Basically, what I gathered is, from the 13th to the 14th is a "Double Beta" test where they are testing the stability of the servers. So they want everyone to log on and see if they can take it. In english I think they call this a "stress test". Anyway, once it passes that, they say that the game will enter an "Open Beta" mode with an item shop... Not sure if this means it'll be free forever, as they don't clarify, but there's a good chance methinks.
The other thing of importance is: THE GAME CLIENT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD ON THE 12th! So get it then and then get updated.
*Note to CB people: You need to get it too.
WHAT WE STILL DON'T KNOW:
Exactly when OB will start. They say "here on out" (more or less), but I guess that might mean after the stress test.
There's all the info I can give you right now. Hope to see you in the stress test!
