Entropia enters beta

Swedish developer Mind Ark have announced that the first round of public beta testing is now underway on their massively multiplayer sci-fi role-playing game Project Entropia. Set in the distant future on the planet Calypso, Project Entropia uses a novel economic system where the game is free to download and play, but gamers can optionally exchange real world cash for in-game money. At the moment there are just 50 external testers involved, but over the next few months the beta will be rolled out to include more players. If you're interested in taking part in the process, head over to the Entropia website and sign up.
