The Need for Speed World Website has word that English beta testing has begun for the MMO installment in the long-running racing series. The first session was apparently this past weekend, but word is there will be more testing going forward: "This beta program is much more than one weekend of play. We’ll be running a number of beta events over the next several months, all aimed at testing one or more aspects of the experience. If you didn’t get into this round, don’t worry, there will be more stages and many, many more invites in the weeks and months ahead. Some expectation setting: these initial rounds are intentionally constrained in terms of features, level progression and content. We are testing and so we need to keep the variables under control to ensure quality data. As the beta program progresses you’ll see more content, ways to play and places to see." Thanks Big Download.
