If there's one PC genre we can never have too much of, it's space combat. Codemasters and NetDevil know this, and so do the 150,000+ users who have signed up for the beta of their upcoming MMO Jumpgate Evolution.
‘We are pleased to announce this exciting landmark for Jumpgate Evolution,” commented Edward Relf, Director, Marketing, Codemasters Online. “Since the commencement of the BETA signup program three months ago, we have seen overwhelming support for the game and look forward to inviting players into the BETA in the coming months. We encourage everyone looking to get into BETA to sign up as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.”
Great news for the developers, not so great for those of us eager to get into the beta test. With numbers rapidly growing (and I suppose this post doesn't help), the odds of snagging a beta spot by signing up over at www.jumpgateevolution.com are getting worse by the minute. Closed beta should be going live soon, so if you are so inclined I strongly suggest jumping on it.Jumpgate Evolution Blasts Beyond 150k BETA Signup Milestone Upcoming Elite Space Combat MMO Gains Momentum as BETA Approaches (Warwickshire, UK) – 10th November, 2008, 2pm GMT – Codemasters Online & NetDevil today announced that BETA signups for the highly anticipated elite space combat MMO, Jumpgate Evolution have now exceeded 150,000 with numbers climbing rapidly!
