Nevermind they had a faq for it.
"Beta signups will require a FilePlanet or Founders' Club subscription and will begin next week!"

Was looking into the game a bit and it seems they are gonna have something where if you preorder the game you can play 3 days before launch and keep your characters. Of course they are gonna charge you an extra 5 dollars for the privilege. What a joke that is.

First 20 levels can be done alone tho, but I doubt there will be a demo.

First 20 levels is NOT single player.
You might get to lvl 6 before u reach Tortage (first city) and there the online part starts.
least it is like that in general beta and i doubt they will change it until gold.

You can meet people in Tortage, but when you kick in the "personal quest" you go singleplayer. Like you get to talk to a woman in the bar and get a quest, once you decide to start the quest, the game turn into night and you go singleplayer (however I think you still could talk to other people over the channel). Kind of like an instance.

Yes you can talk to other ppl that are in the online mode but the "personal quest" is just your destiny quest chain you do.
All other quest's is what i have found so far (to lvl 20) is normal ones in the online mode.

Holyman no those are 2 separate events the one on gamestop or whatever is for a weekend PVP event. The one that's on fileplanet is for Open beta and there is a level cap of 13 or something of the likes.

The pvp beta sucks. Every time you die in a match, it has to reload the map. This is extremely annoying.

I hate it when they put instanced PvP grinding in a mmorpg. I mean if I want to play capture the flag or deathmatches I'd go and play UT or something similar.

So it seems the NDA for the pvp beta has been lifted. A lot of reviews out there now. A lot of positive, but also have negative stuff to say. One of the biggest complaints is the performance of the game. http://www.keenandgraev.com/?p=982 is a pretty good one.

I think this "PvP" beta has everyone confused or getting the wrong idea. The two PvP gametypes they included in this weekend test are basically PvP Mini games for people who like that kind of thing, there is another mini game called Drunken Brawling aswell.
The more exciting robust PvP will take place on PvP and PvP-RP servers with world wide PvP including siege battles. Within the world there are a limited number of battlekeeps which players can take over and control. There will be benefits to a guild that controls a battlekeep. Guilds vie for control over them. If you don't want to be in a guild to get in on the battlekeep fights on normal servers you can hire yourself out as a merc.
I haven't seen it specified if siege pvp will be PvP/PvP-RP Server only though. I really hope it is so it isn't a lame instanced zone like WoW PvP crap. Worldwide pvp is so much better, and with battlekeeps added into the mix it could be interesting.
Quite leery on this game though, Aesthetically it's very nice, so is the music direction. But will it bring anything new to mmorpgs or be the same old with just a gloss coating and a directional combat system.
*edit*
Found more reading on Siege warfare that I missed, long url.

Battlekeeps will be on all servers not just PVP. Also I believe they are not instanced and there are a limited number of them, making fighting for them inevitable. The battlekeep siege mode isn't included in the pvp beta and like you said I'm sure thats where pvp really comes alive.

I suppose the area around the battlekeeps in non-pvp servers will be flagged pvp then?
I tried WoW for awhile for only PvP (I hate dungeon running, and equipment grinding after the initial leveling process) Before they had PvP Battlegrounds, before those on PvP servers there would be massive battles at crossroads or I think it was some farm, that was fun.
Once battlegrounds were added, it took away 80% of pvp fights in the main world, everyone would just grind PvP Battlegrounds for the items. I see Conan has pvp experience, I really hope it doesn't become like that and that people will take World PvP a good direction.

i read all guilds can have there own city if they want one but there instanced and on the map where yours is there will be an AI one that grows from scratch and eventually they will attack your city if you dont keep theres in check by attacking them often to stop them becoming stronger than your own city.

From what I recall that is a seperate instanced version of cities. The borderlands is non instanced and give greater benefits, which is where the pvp siege combat will take place with a limited number of cities available.

Yeah it's too bad siege warfare hasn't even been implemented yet. It's not going to be there at release or anytime soon after.
