Hello everyone,
I'll get straight to the point: the first Face of Mankind Open Beta download mirrors are up! Check the homepage for details:
http://www.fomportal.com
I'd like to take this opportunity to talk a bit about what open beta means for Duplex Systems and also for you. This is a big moment for all of us, the first time our creation will be revealed to the entire gaming community. We're exited, but also a little apprehensive. Only natural I suppose.
The major focus of open beta will be balancing; the servers, the economy, the weapons etc. etc. You have to understand that this is not retail- there will be server downtime, there will probably be wipes, and it will not always be an enjoyable experience. Please bear with us and, together, we can make this game great.
Let me emphasise one point: we value your comments, your crituque, your feedback. If you think we make a crappy decision, let us know. If you think we make a good decision, let us know also.
The gates will open on Monday (January 31st), and you will all take your first steps in the universe of the Global Dominion. Let's do this thing.
Sincerely,
Marko Dieckmann
Duplex Systems - Managing Director
