Sign up for RaiderZ beta and win a trip to PAX Prime
Fighting large monsters with large weapons appears to be a rather popular past time in our corner of the galaxy. If that's your bag, then it looks like RaiderZ has you covered. The monster hunting, free-to-play MMO is about to go into closed beta. Perfect World is giving prospective testers a little more than just the chance to check out the game before the grubby masses. Everyone who signs up for the closed beta will be entered into a prize draw. You'll have a shot at winning an all-inclusive trip to PAX Prime 2012 for you and a friend. If you don't have a friend, I'll play the role. I once starred in a play, so don't worry about my acting skills. Register for the beta by August 6 and you'll be entered automatically. RaiderZ closed beta starts on August 8, so get signing up! Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)If i already have an account how in the balls to i sign up for the beta! I MUST GO TO PAX PRIME =( this year was my first pax ( pax east) and I have never felt more happy and joyfull to be in a building I really really hope somehow I can get to pax prime. It's really confusing, but I think that if you have an account, then that's it... you are entered in the contest.
