Hi! As with most massively multiplayer online games, a Beta test is planned for this game. One way to receive an invitation to the Beta is by signing up for EA Mythic's annual newsletter and being one of 5 people selected in the monthly random draw. A guild beta application was launched in the April 2007 newsletter for guild leaders to submit their organized pre-launch guilds. The beta test is open to residents of North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
