Perpetuum Beta, Early Access Details

Sandboxy robot MMO Perpetuum is now in open beta, and Avatar Creations have announced some details for early access purchases of the game. For €8.95/$9.95 players in the beta will be able to start playing a week before the game launches proper (getting 37 days access), as well as getting some "extension point" bonuses.

More interestingly, the game has had a graphical overhaul, has a new tutorial front end, and has opened up territorial warfare. The outer islands can now be fought over by players, which adds the first layer of genuine PvP conflict in the game world. If you're interested in an MMO that's doing things a bit differently then this is worth visiting while it's at open beta. I posted some thoughts on the game here, and previewed it for Eurogamer here.

This game really needs a new trailer.
