Beta

See also: Versions
**Betas** are versions of the game that are tested prior to release. Players need to sign up to participate in Beta Tests. There are two possible methods for obtaining a beta test qualification:

* **Regular Recruitment:** Players can click the **SIGN UP** button in the top-right corner at the official website for a *chance* to enter the first closed beta test. This does not guarantee acceptance into the beta test.
* **Events:** Players can participate in events where event winners may win a beta test qualification. Some of these events are contests where the best event submissions will win. Other events are giveaways, where random event participants will be selected as winners.
The list of events that offer beta test qualifications can be found in each version page in the List of Closed Beta Tests section below.
