I’m previewing this game, and I was wondering if anyone on the Dope is in the open beta, or wants to be. You can apparently download the client from Fileplanet, though I don’t know if the download is only available for subscribers or for everyone.

I just went out there and looked. You can download it for free from their free servers. Shouldn’t bother unless you have broadband, that is (it’s almost 1 GB in size).

I have downloaded it, but it will only give me the option to install in my C: drive. I don’t know why in gods name anyone makes any sort of install program that does not give me the option to install in any damn drive I want.
