Betawatch: October 23rd - 30th, 2009
Filed under: Betas, Massively meta, Betawatch
Welcome to Betawatch, Massively's weekly report on the state of MMO betas. In each installment, we'll report everything from the latest open betas, closed betas and even alphas in one convenient place. Plus, we'll make sure to include as much info on each game's current status, including projected release dates (if known) and links to the sign-up forms to get yourself into that beta you've been seeking.
Lots of changes this week: Ys Online announced that they'll be leaving the open beta list, but not to go live. They'll be going out of service November 30th. Alganon will be staying in closed beta a while longer, having pushed their launch date to December 1st. The latest closed beta phase for Karos Online has ended. Bright Shadow and Galaxy Online make the leap to open beta, and Soul of the Ultimate Nation leaves the list to go live.
Follow along after the jump for the complete list.
