Forge beta launches, new video of map released
A couple of months ago, our interest was piqued in Forge, an upcoming game with a hybrid of MMO and shooter elements. In August, we were able to get a better look at the game and shared our hands-on experience. Now, folks interested in getting into the beta for themselves have the chance to do so as Dark Vale Games has announced a closed beta for Forge that will last from now until the end of November. Players who registered for the game early in the summer have access to this closed beta, as do those who have pre-ordered the game. If you missed your chance to sign up previously, pre-orders are still being taken on the official site. Also, anyone who registers on the site now will be able to log a little bit of beta time using a free 14-day trial set within the beta. Dark Vale games also released a peek at one of the upcoming maps, called Capital Siege. For a preview of this map, check out the video after the break. [Source: Dark Vale Games press release]

The Daily Grind: Would a closed beta key giveaway convince you to try a new game?
If there's one thing we love at Massively, it's giving goodies away to our readers. We share real-world items, virtual game items, and beta keys galore. That last item is an interesting one because there are so many varying factors to a closed beta key giveaway. How many keys are there? How long is the testing period? How polished is the game so far? Is the game super hot or will this giveaway be the first time some of our readers have heard of the game? If it is, then a closed beta key giveaway is as much a promotional tool as it is a testing opportunity for the developer. There's nothing wrong with that, of course -- the more the merrier. But does it work for you? If you see a beta key up for grabs, will you take one and use the opportunity to see what this new game is like? Are there criteria besides "hey, free key"? Hit the comment button and let us know! Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!

The date of the next round of testing has not been announced yet, but BioWare is clear that everyone with a key will receive an invitation approximately seven to 10 days before the test. When the test starts, BioWare will begin inviting groups of players every 24 hours until they've invited everyone with a key into the test. They also say that the test will run approximately four days, giving some players more time to play than others. Also, BioWare has cautioned that if you're already a regular beta tester for SWTOR, don't grab one of these beta weekend keys as it may jeopardize your chances. More info on that is here. Ready for your key? Click the link below, then keep an eye on your email for that invitation! [Sorry, all codes have been claimed]

Get a head start on Season 6 of Mu Online with our closed beta key giveaway!
