Plan on the APB beta starting up in weeks, not months photo

My village elders often spoke about the mysterious Realtime Worlds-developed APB, and how one day, according to the legends, the beta version of the game would finally be available to those who wanted to play it as well as those who registered themselves for the beta just for the hell of it.

That day, according to the latest word from PAX 2009, will be coming sooner than you may think. Chris Collins told Eurogamer that the closed beta is "weeks rather than months away from starting."

Around the office, we're all curious about one thing and one thing only. Is APB's ambitious character creator powerful enough to recreate Chet Nicholson in videogame form? There's only one way to find out.

I hope this game doesn't suck, we need more creative ideas like this for MMOs.

Do want! I wasn't really interested in the game but the promise of free t-shirts was too much so I sat through their presentation. Looks like a lot of fun and using Last.fm to play music other players have on their radios or filling it in with similar music that preserves the "feel" is pretty damn sweet.

I don't think words quite express how much I want to be in the beta.

Kinda forgot that I'm starting uni soon and won't be able to put in the hours I said I could though. Oops.
