Global Agenda releasing February 1, 2010! Details, limited editions.

I was actually wondering the other day when Gobal Agenda will get an official release date. Well, now they do and here are the details for preorder bonuses and beta events.

Due to past experiences, my assumption on the “beta Events” will be every weekend. Similar to the Aion pre-release betas. Why this assumption? During their alpha stages and “studio testing” in Atlanta, every friday they had these nightly events for testing purposes. This is not on paper yet but, I think this will be how it goes.. or at least close to how it goes :)

Getting the limited edition, only from their main site and amazon.com, you get a poster and art book.

From the Global Agenda site:

Players who pre-purchase Global Agenda today and receive the following special benefits:

Participate in the Global Agenda Beta – Players that pre-order will gain access to Global Agenda beta events in January. Note that the beta servers are available for play only during specific play test windows, and that tests may be limited to only certain game features. To participate in the Global Agenda beta, you must register your Product Key online at the Global Agenda website following your pre-purchase. Registered beta participants will receive specific test instructions prior to each Closed Beta test event, as the events are announced.

Exclusive In-Game Head Flair – Players that activate their Product Key on the Global Agenda website prior to February 1, 2010, will receive a special in-game helmet captured from the Commonwealth and exclusive Elf head flair (see images)
Reserve Your Player Name and Agency Name – Gain access to Global Agenda’s pre-launch “Name Reserve” event, in which players are given the opportunity to reserve their in-game name ahead of launch day (exact dates for the Name Reserve event to be announced). Players that also pre-subscribe to the “Global Agenda: Conquest” gameplay will be able to reserve an Agency name during the Name Reserve event.
Pre-Download the Game – Download the game early to ensure you are ready to play immediately at launch.

In addition, all players that purchase Global Agenda have the ability to sign up for one free month of a Global Agenda: Conquest subscription at registration (credit card required, can be cancelled at any time).

I have been excited about this game for a while now. I really hope they live up to expectations and have at least a semi-smooth launch. Who wants to do the estimates on how many server crashes/loss of data will occur on the first 2 days? Hey, I am just stating the obvious when it comes to new developers. This is their first game.. and it being an MMO, there will be flaws.

I pre-ordered mine today.. Will you?
