If you’re reading this post shortly after it was written, chances are that you’ll probably end up getting into the beta, you lucky devil.

Funcom decided to funnel another 10,000 beta keys into FilePlanet, and it turns out FP weren’t the stuck up pricks we all thought they were. FilePlanet will be handing out the beta keys on a fire-come first-serve basis to all registered members. Unlike the previous round of beta keys, this will be open to all unsubscribed members – meaning it won’t cost you a dime.

What are you waiting for? Go grab your key!

Edit: Well that’s that, the event is closed for now. Hope you guys managed to get a key!

Looks like the devs have something devious on their minds…
