Going Out With a Bang
Looks like the devs have something devious on their minds...
On May 10th, the entire open beta will be transformed into a massive PvP battlefield, while at the same time the rest of Hyboria will be opened for testing.
- All servers become PvP servers.
- No level restrictions on killing or getting killed, but you cannot PvP in the major cities.
- All level 13 characters become level 20.
- Inventories are wiped, and replaced with money and equipment suitable for level 20s.
- You have access to all zones and all levels after level 20.
- You will be zoned to your Race’s Hub. (Cimmerians – Conarch Village, Aquillonians – Old Tarantia and Stygians – Khemi)

Free Beta Keys Anyone?
If you're reading this post shortly after it was written, chances are that you'll probably end up getting into the beta, you lucky devil.
Funcom decided to funnel another 10,000 beta keys into FilePlanet, and it turns out FP weren't the stuck up pricks we all thought they were. FilePlanet will be handing out the beta keys on a fire-come first-serve basis to all registered members. Unlike the previous round of beta keys, this will be open to all unsubscribed members - meaning it won't cost you a dime.
What are you waiting for? Go grab your key!

Edit: Well that's that, the event is closed for now. Hope you guys managed to get a key!

Open Beta in Full Swing
The open beta kicked off with an action packed 'Beta PvP Weekend', where the game was stress tested by 5000 lucky players from Fileplanet's exclusive beta deal with Funcom. But for those of us who weren't too familiar with Fileplanet (or were too cheap to pay the subscription), we can still catch some of the action online. Videos of the PvP have already begun to surface on YouTube, with beloved classes such as the Assassin, Dark Templar, Barbarian and the Bear Shaman (among many others) running around spilling blood and causing havoc! If you do manage to get into the coveted beta, you will be pleased to learn that you'll be automatically entered into the Beta Leveling Contest. Players who level two class types to the maximum level 13 in the least amount of time will be declared potential winner and get a chance to win prizes like Signed Collector's Editions and In-Game Virtual items.
