Dragon's Prophet enters open beta next week

The world has more free-to-play MMORPGs than you can shake a stick at and most aren't interesting for long, but why not treat them like a tourist would? See the sights, join in local customs, then head off somewhere new. Add riding dragons in Dragon's Prophet to your itinerary, as Sony Online Entertainment today announced it'll enter open beta testing on May 30.

The big selling point of Dragon's Prophet is that you get to capture, train, and ride hundreds of different dragons, which certainly is enough of a novelty to add it to your big list of F2P MMORPG holiday destinations. Who knows, perhaps you'll even like it enough to stick around?

While open beta begins for everyone on May 30, people who've paid to become Founders will graduate from the closed beta to open on May 29. The closed beta NDA is up now so if you've been playing, hey, how is it?

Dragon's Prophet is developed by Runes of Magic creator Runewaker Entertainment.

      You have got to be kidding me. Half the game still isn't translated.

        The team responsible for localizing this game here at SOE continue to do a poor job. They never release patch notes, and this announcement is nowhere to be seen in their forums or on their site.

        Compare that to the EU and TW versions which are much, much better at communication.

        They seem to just be following the TW versions release schedule, which would mean there will be 3 quick patches over the following 3 weeks after open beta. I would not bother downloading and trying the game until at least that long. :/

      o_O and such.

      I hope they've got an internal build they'll be pushing out that's much farther along than what we've been playing. If not, this is a terrible idea.
