"Just a couple of weeks ago we moved our users from a temporary zone where they could queue up for PVP into Copacabana, the starting area that will ship with the game. This is still mostly just a queuing area, though we do have various creatures for testers to kill and loot. We also revealed manufacturing, resource refining, and more within that release.

The release of Copacabana allows us to roll out new content a lot easier than before, so we are currently prepping for the release of resource collection (aka thumpers), Chosen combat, missions, invasions, and more. There's still a lot to do for each of those, so they will probably come out in bits and pieces, but it's a very exciting time for us."

This is the current scope of things in the beta for those who aren't able to make it in, and this is also public news of whats to come. i hope it comes soon.

*drool*

I AM EXCITE. I have herd much of this before but i am still super excited to start some more open world stuff.

More PvE would be awesome. As twilight said, I AM EXCITE

That's awesome I realize that it's not finished but exploring the world was one of the things that I was looking forward to the most

Excatly. I can't wait until we can get a squad up and running while exploring whatever terrain they release for us to test. Can't be too far into the future, as the actual release can't be too far along.

I CANT WAIT TILL I CAN TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THE BETA!!!! oh wait...

I'm more of a pvp man my self nothing like shooting other players :D but i enjoy casual pve and one of the main things that drew me to this game was that servers have to work together to unlock the game, it will just be great :D eagerly anticipating beta :)
