Anarchy Online Beta 4 Announcement

The following info was taken from the Anarchy Online main site: "We are about ready to start beta 4. The CD will be available for download week 23. The link will be posted here. All (yes we said ALL) beta applicants will receive an e-mail containing a CD-key. This CD key will grant access to the beta. The CD-keys will be sent out in chunks starting week 23. Please check ASAP that your e-mail address is correct. NDA will be lifted and the beta-WEB-site will be transferred here to the official AO-WEB-site. It is not decided yet if the last weeks of the beta will be open for everyone." Of note, week 23 corresponds to the beginning of the week of June 4th.

A Tad Late?

While I'm personally not all that concerned about AO (I AM looking forward to the new PvP server for EQ), considering that their release is on June 27, isn't this a bit late to begin a final round of beta testing?

The CD will have gone gold already, the world design is already flushed out. One wonders if their first few weeks of launch are going to be their stress test.

Then again, given the history of UO, EQ, and even Asherons Call, no MMRPG has launched in a "finished" state yet, and it seems that AO isn't about to break that trend.

Oh well, nice to see something which isn't hack and slash based.
