Codemasters Online Gaming is pleased to announce that ArchLord, the highly-anticipated fantasy MMORPG where one player will rule the world, has begun the first phase of its public beta test program. This stage of the beta test gives the first wave of North America and European gamers access to the entire game. Testers will be able to create their own Human, Orc or Moon Elf character before entering the game world of Chantra and embarking on fantastic quests. A series of specific events and competitions will also be featured throughout the course of the beta test.
“It’s a great achievement to have reached this important milestone for ArchLord, a title that brings fresh MMO gaming experiences to the genre, and we’re delighted to welcome the first eager gamers to this incredible world,” said Ed Relf, director of marketing at Codemasters Online Gaming. “Be on the look out, there’s a chance that the mighty ArchLord himself will make an appearance during the beta.” Players joining the beta test are now being contacted following the beta sign-up program, which began in May. There are a limited number of places remaining for the later stages of the beta and gamers can sign up online at www.archlordgame.com/beta. Gamers who pre-order a copy of ArchLord from retail will receive a guaranteed slot in the beta test. Pre-orders are now available at GameStop and EB Games.
