ArcheAge enters open beta testing in China

The worldwide availability of ArcheAge takes another step forward as the game’s Chinese client enters its open beta test. This comes after several different test phases over the past year, including several phases without any server wipes, but now it’s really very definitely in open beta.

How do you know it’s really open beta? Because there’s new content to go along with it, naturally. And this is very new content, a new dungeon which roughly translates as the Court of Feasts complete with Chinese decorations and a soundtrack provided by local musicians. There are four bosses in the dungeon, although players outside of China shouldn’t expect to see the dungeon in other clients in the near future (or ever). Which means you’ll have to choose between learning Chinese or never seeing the content if that’s a big deal for you.
