North Americans: Play Huxley, Report Back

The open beta for MMOFPS Huxley is North America only, which means I can't get my hands on it (without using naughty means *cough*). But anyway it's, right here. Perhaps some of our North American comrades would like to dive in and then tell us what the deal is? The game is out in the fourth quarter of this year but we still don't know much about it. Go forth!
