This summer is, for many MMORPG players, already going to be taken up with Final Fantasy 14’s latest expansion, Dawntrail, which, in our review, we praised for delivering “some of the game’s best dungeons and trials yet alongside a compelling story.” Still, there’s plenty of excitement around other, less established MMOs, like the quickly approaching Amazon and Ncsoft collaboation, Throne and Liberty. While its September 17 launch is still a little ways off, players eager to get a first look at the project ahead of this autumn can now do so thanks to the beginning of an open beta period set to run from today until next Tuesday July 23.
