During a game's Closed Beta Test, often called a CBT, a limited number of people have access to the software for the purpose of evaluation and real-world testing. The Closed Beta Test is a great opportunity to explore the game before it launches!

Closed Beta Tests are often designed to test things like server load and larger-scale connectivity. They give players the chance to report bugs and help developers make further improvements to the software before it is available to the general public.

Players lucky enough to get in the Wind Slayer Closed Beta Test will be the first to play this great new game and to help Outspark make it the best game it can be!

Sign up for the Wind Slayer Closed Beta Test now by logging in to your Outspark account (or clicking here (https://register.outspark.com/) to get a free account if you don't already have one) and clicking the Click here to join the CBT" button in the top right of the screen.

The Wind Slayer Closed Beta Test will begin on Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 3:00pm PST and will run until Wednesday, January 14th.

PST time should be the time given by the forum here:

But I cant be sure of that.

You can download it anytime you wish, but you won't be able to play until Open Beta starts. Open Beta is scheduled to start on the 4th of February. So you just have to wait 'til then. :)

And, you don't have to get invited. Anyone can play when Open Beta starts. You only have to be invited to be in Closed Beta (which already ended).

You can't download right now because OB isn't open yet and they're working on fixing bugs... There will be a download soon.
