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.
Several changes on Betawatch this week: Alganon made the leap to the open beta list, Dragon's Call and Allods Online (EU) began their closed beta, and Star Trek Online announced their open beta dates. (January 12th through the 26th)

Aika announced a closed beta (not date yet) and they have the sign ups available. Weird you missed that, Seraphina wrote an article on it the 4th.

I think DFO is out of Open Beta and is released, since the item shop is open (and about to hit its second cycle of content).

Allods has alot of promise if they can rework the leveling curve and add more quests. I gotta admit, even though I am a die-hard WoW player, Global Agenda looks mighty tasty!
