The open beta of EA Sports’ FIFA Online 2 in the Southeast Asian Region is actually nearer than you think. If you’re not keeping tabs on developments in this Infocomm Asia Holdings-licensed online sports game, then you probably don’t know that the closed beta period ended on October 23 and that open beta is slated for launch on December 5.
More good news for closed beta test players: You don’t have to register again! Those who didn’t participate in the closed beta, like yours truly, will have to register for the open beta test.
Already have the closed beta client? No problem. Once open beta goes live, the client will be auto-patched to the latest version. Can’t wait? Well, you can download the open beta client as soon as it become available on the FIFA Online 2 site.
The closed beta client is still available for download, though. Here’s a list of mirror sites where you can download it: FilePlanet, AtomicGamer, Internode, FileFront, MMOsite, Gamershell, CGE Network, and GX League.
Here’s a little note from IAHGames, operator of FIFA Online 2 in Southeast Asia, for those who want to participate in the open beta:
Once the open beta test goes live on December 5, at 2 p.m. (GMT+8), players simply need to log-in with their IAHGames Passport Account that they registered with, launch the client they downloaded, and play.
Do note that the IAHGames Passport Account you registered with is a permanent account which you will use for the entire span of the game.
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. There’s good news for FIFA Online 2 fans in China as well. The9 reports that the open beta for the game in China is also set for launch this December. Get the scoop from online games portal 17173.
