Dark Messiah MP Open Beta

Unread postby Kalah » 29 Aug 2006, 15:42

Today, tuesday 29th of August, UbiSoft are releasing the multiplayer open beta for Dark Messiah of Might & Magic. Scheduled for 12:00 Eastern Time. According to <a href="/http://www.bluesnews.com/">Blue's News</a>, something like 100.000 players will be able to participate in this final test before the game is released.



With the multiplayer of Heroes 5 being somewhat of a disappointment to the fans, Ubi have a something to prove with the follow-up. The open MP beta is said to include "all character classes, skills, weapons and spells for a genuine multiplayer experience" - not just a small taste of what's to come.

I was a beta tester for H.o.M.M. V.

They didn't seem to listen anyway.

Makes me wonder why they even release a beta for testing...Hmmmmm.
Holding on is easier, then letting go.

Off topic (sorta), but the new kill kevin video is the best so far.

Umm...HV was developed by nival,while DM is being developed by arkane,so Im guessing they have different strategies as well as atitude towards beta testings.

There were TONS of changes made in the H5 beta - the first few versions were hardly playable at all.
