Boy how the time flies. It seems like only yesterday that we were talking about Wizardry Online being a blip on the horizon and now the game is in open beta and preparing for launch. In an email sent out to beta members and SOE members alike, Sony Online Entertainment has announced that the beta servers for Wizardry Online will shut down on January 14th. Two days later, on January 16th, the game will officially go live.
I think this goes without saying, but considering Wizardry Online is a game with player vs player combat, full loot, and the distinct possibility of perma-death, I can only give one warning: Be cautious on launch day. PvP combat will make certain zones a death trap for new players, while the inevitable server lag and outages will be a pain when you throw perma-death into the mix.
