SOE to run EQNext Landmark for all regions, offers beta sign-ups
European fans hesitant about working with Prosiebensat.1 will not have to worry about going through the company for EverQuest Next Landmark. SOE has just announced that due to the unique nature of the game, it will directly manage Landmark for Europe, North America, and all other regions. The official statement says, Since we are delivering an entirely new and unique approach to MMO game design and development with EverQuest Next Landmark, and given that SOE's Player Studio program is one of the cornerstones of EverQuest Next Landmark, SOE will directly manage EQNL and Player Studio for all regions. Players in all regions wanting to get in on Landmark's beta will use the same the same sign-up form. Beta for EverQuest Next, however, is still split into regions; EU players can sign up at either the EU site, the UK site, or the German site, while those in North America and all other regions head to one page.
Colonize the New World: Salem opens beta sign-ups
It's time to set sail for the New World with Paradox Interactive's upcoming free-to-play sandbox title, Salem. The studio announced today that beta sign-ups for the title have opened up, and anyone and everyone is welcome to jump in and give the team feedback. But remember, folks, the untamed wilderness of the New World is a harsh and unforgiving place, and death is not something to be taken lightly. If you don't play your cards just right, you could end up six feet under with no way of returning to the world of the living. Don't worry too much, though; the folks at Paradox have released a new video to give players a bit of a heads up on how to survive the wilderness. So after you're done with the "how-to-not-die-of-dysentery" primer, just head on over to the game's official site and get in on the test. [Source: Paradox Interactive press release]
ArenaNet thanks potential beta testers with new Guild Wars 2 video
Last month, the folks at ArenaNet had a field day with the Guild Wars 2 beta sign-ups, which garnered one million player sign-ups in the span of just over two days. Unfortunately, the beta is limited by the amount of available space, and not everyone who signed up will have the pleasure of vacationing in Tyria. With that in mind, the fine ladies and gentlemen at ArenaNet have released a brand-new video featuring exclusive footage to show their appreciation for the overwhelming interest in GW2. Any players interested in watching the full video will have to go to the title's Facebook page and Like it before being given access to the short trailer, but we think it may be worth it for the Guild Wars 2 junkies who just can't wait for the next release.
