Have you noticed
Earthrise before today? Surely you have, especially since
we've posted about it in the past. Masthead Studios has indicated that a new version of the beta client is available. They are also sending out another round of beta testing invitations within the next few days; they actually mention "thousands of keys" so there is a solid chance you'll be one of them.
If (like me) you have already signed up for the beta, keep your fingers crossed and an eye on your inbox. Those that haven't already signed up can do so
by clicking here. Earthrise is scheduled for launch on February 4 so those that don't get into the beta will soon be able to play the game!
