The Army of Atlantica has seen its ranks increased by 10,000-plus - in just 13 days! We are now stronger, as you have brought more mercenaries into the Atlantica fold, and therefore we are ready to take on new challenges, even open beta!

 

We are proud to announce that the third and final round of closed beta will finally run its course this Wednesday, Sept. 17, at 11 a.m. Pacific Daylight Saving Time (PDT), and then open beta will proceed one week later. Here’s the schedule:

 

CLOSED BETA ENDS: Wednesday, Sept. 17, 11 a.m. PDT
OPEN BETA BEGINS: Wednesday, Sept. 24, 6 p.m. PDT

 

The commencement of open beta is an opportunity for players to start anew on their journey to find Atlantis and proceed deep into the game without fear of reprisals - there will be no wipe at the end of open beta, and players will be able to continue right where they left off when Atlantica officially launches!

 

However, one final wipe will be conducted with the conclusion of closed beta. There are, though, these benefits for closed beta participants that were promised earlier:

 

1) Players who reached Level 20 during the first round of closed beta will still have their characters’ names in the blue color.
2) Winners of the Battles With The Developers and the Supreme Atlantian competitions will retain their horses - Thoroughbred (the brown horse) or Hackney (the white horse) - that they earned. Players will find these items in their Item Pickup, under the Item Mall menu, when they begin open beta.
3) Closed beta participants will have the right to re-use their previous character names. They must create new characters with those names, however, within two weeks of the start of open beta.
4) For recruiting more than 10,000 new players during a time frame of just 13 days - Sept. 3 to Sept. 16 - Free League participants will reap the benefits of the Road To Open Beta event. Players who fought in the Free Leagues at least once at any point in closed beta will find these items in their Item Pickup, under the Item Mall menu, at the start of open beta:

So continue to be diligent in working your way through the Atlantica world during open beta, for your efforts will be rewarded - a continuous journey onto Atlantis when open beta comes to an end! So get your travel plans ready!
