After signing up for FilePlanet (which takes about a minute) you’ll get an activation code to use on Blur’s beta website. After entering that code and spending one more minute of filling out information fields, you’ll get an e-mail asking your to confirm your e-mail address. Once you’ve clicked that link, the process is over. You’ll receive a Blur beta key on March 8, 2010 as well as a free 48 hour Xbox Live Gold subscription.

Free MMO fans might want to sign up and become FilePlanet users, that way they can get first crack at Atlantica Online‘s closed beta. FilePlanet has been given a number of keys for the closed beta. A small fraction of them will be given away to FilePlanet users on July 15, 2008. The remainder will be distributed on FilePlanet, MMOABC, MMOsite, MMORPG and onRPG on July 18, 2008.

Atlantica Online is a parallel universe MMORPG with strategic elements. In it, players get to explore Atlantis and take part in turn based battles against opponents. There will also supposedly be mercenary and country management systems included in the game, which makes me wonder if players will be able to hire themselves out as mercenaries.
