A thread called Open Beta possibility on the Official Neocron Forums (thanks Fatesender) confirms a report from PC Zone Magazine by describing plans to launch the fourth beta test of Reakktor's upcoming science fiction MMORPG as an open beta, inspired by what they call the "'successful' launch of the demo." Here's their description of beta 4, which is planned as the final beta before the game officially launches: "Anyhow, once you join B4, we want everybody to keep in mind that it is very close to the final game, BUT STILL BETA! B4 will be a 90-95% complete game." And here is all that's mentioned on how to be involved: "Accounts for B4 will be opened and managed through the Neocron.com webpage. There's no need to pre-register." Word on the beta is that the files will total a staggering 1.2 GB, to be distributed on magazine covermount DVDs, while mirrors for (gulp) downloads are welcome.
