Huzzar! Closed beta was friggin awesome!

I was surprised by the change in content just from going to open beta. It was a nice play last night.

Right, so that i'm clear (as are others): Where is the direct link to buy the game pre-release for Europeans, and where is the open beta sign-up for europeans? Thanks in advance.

(Edit) Virrago's second link is broken (the one supposed to take European players to the PotBS site).

In other news,

I've been watching this game since about 2003-4. Way before the matrix online was in beta, or even alpha, i think. All i can say is, i'm really happy that it's finally out and that it's getting good reception. Beta was great, so you should all try it out.

European preorder begins on the 12th, and will be from most decent/mainstream retailers. As for the beta download, you could probably do it from fileplanet too, it will just take a little longer because the servers are further away. Doesn't stop you from getting it, though.

The link Viraggo was meant to link to was this one. http://www.piratesoftheburningsea.com

His link was http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/...eburningsea.com because he formatted the link wrong.

'Fraid not. I've been a Pirate since June and until Closed BETA ends, that's how it'll stay. I'm thinking of trying a national--probably a Brit--come launch, though.

Talking about the game you plan to cheat on MxO with, blasphemy.
