Any Good New Open/Closed Beta Games Out?
Corrupted
Member Posts: 310
Seems the Open Beta Discussion forums has been pretty dead. I wonder if there are no games out or everyone's just waiting for the good ones (GW2, Tera, Diablo 3, etc.).
I haven't played any MMO's in awhile and was looking to get back into it but doesn't seem anything new has come out in the past couple months 
If there is, please let me know! I'm super bored and I'm tired of playing COD:MW3

tera is in closed beta. gw2 and the secret world likey to announce there beta plans on the 20th and 24th respectivly.
I've got the straight edge.
Path of Exile. Looks interesting, I'm still waiting for an invite.
Path of Exile is awesome. Damn game will devour time though xD. "Hey ill play for 30 minutes, 6 hours go by. oh shit whered my time go" xD
PoE looks great but I would prefer a game I could play now as I'm also on the waiting list xD
If you prefer a game you can play now, then why ask for closed betas?
Tribes Ascend is in beta and supposed to be a killer game. It's a FPS style game though so I don't know if thats a total turn off or not. I also don't know how hard it is to get into their beta.
I asked for both Open & Closed beta, I can usually get into many closed betas if I really put some time and effort into it but for PoE, I not desperate enough.
Oh, I suppose that makes sense then.
Thanks Kilrane, I actually received two keys to play that game.
I wasn't a big fan, I don't really know what to say about it but it was just definitely not my style with the whole "Skiing" method of moving and flying gameplay. Don't get me wrong, Unreal Tournament series were one of my all time favorite FPS games but this just wasn't my "cup of tea".
I'm actually looking forward to FireFall!
If you're interested in a Tribes Ascend key, I'll try to dig it up for ya!
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you right now. I've signed up for a bunch of betas but the only one im playing ATM happens to be Tribes.
I gotta say, I'm the luckiest motherfucker when it comes to beta invites right now.
I'm in the PoE, DOTA2, Tribes, Super Monday Night Combat (great game), Firefall-betas.
So with this part of the forums being kinda dead I figured I could pass out some invites to at least SMNC if anyone is interested.
It's a MOBA style game played in more of a FPS fashion, once you get over the hurdle of knowing what you're supposed to do it's a great game. I got 2 invites that I can hand out via steam.
Edit: realized I have an invite for Tribes as well.
I'd really enjoy a PoE key; but I think those are really rare :x
I would be ecstatic to play SMNC, though. I have two extra tribes beta keys I'd trade you to keep sharing the love if you'd like.
Heya. Found this discussion just what I was looking for. Ive been in betas since way back. (I remember testing the sims online, and everquest II)
My computer used to be too bad but I just upgraded, for all those curious TRIBES Ascension is now pretty easy to get in. I just registered and got a key.
If you have any extra SMNC Keys, I'd very much like to request one! you could take a look at how long ive been a member here and PM me. Otherwise Have a happy day!!!
Just entered the guild wars 2 beta. I'll sign up for PoE too.
Cheeers guys.
Yeah, thank God I was reading the forum earlier about the GW2 beta application, I was lucky to entere it and went to forward it to a friend and it was then closed so I was extremely lucky to even apply at the time I did! lol
I also just got into Tera's closed beta, downloading and patching now, can't wait!
If I come across any SMNC keys, I'll definitely let you guys know here!
Its funny I used to get into betas all the time, but the last 5 years or so I have had terrible luck getting in.....I guess there are just so many players applying nowadays that they cant let everyone in......To answer your question PoE looks interesting to me as well.....Im also looking at The Secret World as it looks very unique
SWTOR is still in open beta - but you may want to try some of the other suggestions first.

Keep your eye on Lime Odyssey, sure its an anime-inspired f2p blah blah, but from what I've seen this one looks to have some serious potential. Its dev team is made up of quite a few members from Ragnarok Online. Another interesting thing is that its Korean version has apparently shut down, and the Thailand version is going down for updates where as the NA version will still be going.
If you have iPad or iPhone 4(S) then you can play the BETA for: http://www.traveller-ar.com/
Lower spec devices crash a lot atm. But it's about 1$ and open (sandbox) sci-fi mmorpg with good RP background/IP.

Bah that Raiderz game is awful in my opinion. I do like the active combat system, but the game is ULTRA asianized. (Impossible to lift swords, really dumb looking/colored haircuts, anime style creatures, gender questionable characters, and it still has japanese voice-overs.) Also gameplay-wise, all the classes are rather boring, and the number of skills can be counted on one hand for most classes.
To find an intelligent person in a PUG is not that rare, but to find a PUG made up of "all" intelligent people is one of the rarest phenomenons in the known universe.
