Dragon Nest is a VERY fun game! The graphics are really nice and the game play is very entertaining — though, sometimes it can be kind of repetitive, but what game isn’t?

I was able to attend the “Extended Closed Beta Test” because HanGame opened the game to everyone who has a HanGame account. I played it with an American friend who lives in Japan, but since there was a time restriction and the game had many errors for foreign players, it only happened to be Phantasm and I. I just managed to squeeze in level 15 (which was the cap level for Closed Beta Testing) about 15 to 20 minutes before the server shut down on the final day and I received the title “Closed Beta Test Master.” 😛

Overall, the game was a BLAST. I can’t wait until the next wave of testing begins.

I checked a while ago to see if HanGame had released any information on the next testing phase, but there were no notices. I logged into the site and clicked “Game Start” just to see what happened and this popped up :

The message says :

“Thank you for participating in the EXCBT!
Open Beta is planned to begin on May 27th.”

I’m definitely going to attend the next wave! I hope more foreigners get to play this time around.

Good luck to anyone that tries to play! I hope to see you in-game!!
