this looks prety dang cool. They are doing the open beta in a time BEFORE the game. So you have to retake control of areas from the Dragoons (the bad, bad dragons) and you can establish towns and stuff. They make it sound like all the stuff from the open Beta will be incorporated into the retail version.... ie if we found a town called Pyroxene then when the game hit retail, Pyroxene may be a thriving metropolis :)) Who wants to quit our jobs and make a town? Cause I know I do.
