Operation: Salem Beta has now gone live. This is a title that KGB has been looking at in 2012 along with the other numerous quality titles scheduled for release this year and 2013. This operations focus is to get as many individuals in the Salem Beta as early as possible in order to get a grip on the game mechanics and min/max position for KGB to hit the ground running in this title. This operation is no different then any other KGB RECON effort in a title and KGB will continue to try and help with quality veteran input to help guide a game out of the loose zone.

****To sing up please see Salem Beta Oracle Thread. There is a referel process we will be using to make sure we are referring each other and get priority invites. ****

NEW YORK – March 23, 2012 – Paradox Interactive and Seatribe today announced the opening of Beta sign-ups for upcoming Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) game, Salem. Developed by Seatribe, Salem is set in the New World when pilgrims were the norm and the frontier was still the greatest risk to a person’s health.

Salem is a unique core gaming experience for MMO players and crafting enthusiasts, known best for its Permadeath mechanic where in-game characters succumb to the harsh wilderness environment. Interested Beta testers can sign up here to participate in the beta.

“We’ve been getting Beta requests from gamers since we announced Salem and it’s great to finally be able to let people into the beta testing” said Björn Johannessen , lead designer at Seatribe. “We’ve chosen to keep the sign up completely open, the more the merrier, and will do our best to listen to all feedback we get”, he continued.

Salem is a free-to-play MMO and scheduled to release in Q3, 2012.

GO KGB!

For Beer and Glory!!

If it is like HnH, yup. That's why permadeath is a big risk.

Yes there is PvP with consequences and full loot to include raiding other peoples stuff. Mind you, all with consequences, to include being hunted and put to Perma Death. In Salem they are going to try and implement a "Heredity" function so that the next character you make is considered the child and inherits some of the skills acquired by the character that died.

They had this in HnH.. As someone who also died (you didn't if I remember) you could recover some of your lost LP from a relative that died.. It was already there, ask Donk and I ;)

That is a good way of implementing statloss.

Full loot, PKing (so we can hunt them!).. sounds very exciting. I want to get in :)

I am ready to go Cortez on someone's ass!
