If you’re worried about your launches being too hard-edged and solid, consider a nice soft launch like the one Magic Legends has done. The open beta is here, and since the game isn’t planning another character wipe, that means that the game is in soft launch state now. It has, uh… been a bit of a bumpy ride, even with all of the softness.
Let’s elide that with some other beta news really quick-like:
- World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Classic is also finally in beta testing after a false start or two. Now you can try out the game’s first expansion! You know, again.
- Questing? In New World? It’s more likely than you think. It’s entirely likely, the designers have even shown it off. It’s downright certain.
- We still have some keys for the Mortal Online 2 weekend stress test, if you’re curious about how that’s going to shake out.
- Last but not least, Blue Protocol wants to let you take a selfie. Selfie time!
We would respectfully prefer that you not place any selfies down in the comments of this week’s column. Instead, we would welcome you letting us know if something skipped test phases without us noticing, or if you just share your thoughts about the betas you’re currently in. That’s different from selfies.
As always, we consider an MMO to be in open testing if it features free, public signups and will server wipe prior to launch. An MMO is marked in closed testing if it’s running a private test phase that cannot freely be accessed by the general public; it’s usually under NDA as well. Early access and crowdfunded MMOs whose tests we deem legitimate will be included. So-called “open beta” soft-launch MMOs with cash shops, no sign of launch in the west, or limited interest for our readers will not be listed; we also do not list expansions, with occasional exceptions.
