Irth Worlds News - Open Beta Begins

Posted by Dana Massey on Jun 06, 2005  | 14 comments in our forums

Magic Hat Software, the developers of Irth Online, have announced that their open beta test for the soon to be launched MMORPG begins today!

MAGIC HAT SOFTWARE’S MMORPG IRTH ONLINE
STARTS OPEN BETA TODAY
-- BETA TESTERS WELCOMED --

DEDHAM, MA – JUNE 6, 2005 – Magic Hat Software (www.magichatsoftware.com) announced today that the Open Beta for its MMORPG Irth Online (www.irthonline.com) begins today and runs through July 5, 2005. Gamers are encouraged to apply for the Open Beta on the Irth Online website.

“We scheduled our Open Beta relatively late in the development cycle because we wanted our gamers to have the deepest and most complete experience we could provide,” says Alan Chipura, Lead Game Designer. “We’ve paid close attention to the input provided by earlier testers and our changes and improvements are up to date, so we expect the Open Beta test to go smoothly.”

no there isnt. but i do know one of the devs said on irc the other day that it starting on monday too.


from what i hear the beta app isnt even working on thier site, id try but i already signed up like 5 tiems dont want to annoy them anymore :P

man i really hope they can pull this off and it goes smoothly. this is one of the few games im holding out hope for. perfect time to steal some major business, old games are boring, next releases are still too far away.(or in d&l's case, perpetual 6 months from now, 2 years going on forever)

Well I've never looked into this game but now that I have it sounds pretty cool, I liked DAOC and it sounds like it has a similar realm war system so I definitely want to try it out, now if they'd just update their site so we could register and download it.

If the game is good it will get hyped, right now nobody knows much about it really. I'm not getting my hopes up but different factions should allow for some fun PvP.  The graphics don't look that bad, nothing mind blowing but decent enough.

Putting Wish in the same context as 'stupid crap like Maple Story' screams that you never got the opportunity to Beta test Wish. The week or so of Open Beta 2.0 doesn't count.....since that was unplayable, and brought to light some core problems with it's technology. At least we'll get to see a lot of the graphics content continue on in another game...... ::::28::

thats your opinion. but..maplestory has more steady fans than wish ever did, why either has had even 1 i do not understand.

you saying that wish was anthing more than the huge failure that it ended up screams that you never played it.(i ask forgiveness from the word 'play' for using it in this context). only way a game using thier graphic content ..oh nevermind.

now im guessing by your attitude about it that im wrong and you did play., so are you wrong.
now back to the topic eh? lets pray irth isnt wish2, we will find out tonight.::::28::

Why don't you elaborate on what you think was sooo bad about Wish, instead of simply saying it was a failure because it had the misfortune of getting cancelled. Offer up some details next time to make yourself sound legitimate.

https://www.irthonline.com/default.aspx is the sign-up page for beta. Othervise no link to client or such & kinda odd to say its open beta when it isnt yet (for another 6-10hours after they released the news to mmorpg.com?).
