Tomorrow is the start of the final closed beta event of the game. The open beta starts on December 12, 2012. Anyone else going to be there tomorrow? I already got mine ready =D
You just need to register to get your own code to redeem in the game's website. 20,000 hawken credits is worth about 10+ hours of non-stop gameplay. Each new mech cost about 6k and parts/items cost around 2.5k~3.6k so it's a pretty good head start. Give it a try.
