Arcane Saga is one of the few MMOs I’m looking forward to this year. Not because blind hype, but because I played the game before when it was named Prius Online. The game closed a mere year after launch, with publisher gPotato running the game into the ground themselves with a terrible localization and mishandling PvP exploits.
Development studio Netmarble nabbed the rights for an international release themselves earlier this year, and have since been revamping several of the game’s systems to be up to par with the Korean client. I can’t speak on the exact changes just yet.
The beta has officially started as of 6PM PDT last night, and will be open to all registered Netmarble users until 12AM PDT, Sunday. It will be open 24 hours a day during this time.
The official site has some information on the game, but for the time being it looks like those interested will have to rely on word of mouth and trying it out for themselves. I will be checking the game out later today to see if Arcane Saga really is going to be an improvement over Prius Online.
