Few things can compare to an MMOG that wants to give you buffs for hugs and snuggles. But Gamania looks to bring that benefit to players by combining online dating and MMOGs with Lucent Hearts, which today kicked off open beta. Players can now log in and test out the dating MMOG and maybe even find that special someone.

To celebrate the start of open beta, Gamania is holding a series of in-game events and prize giveaways for players to enjoy. Head over and sign up to get started and check out the official press release after the break.

IRVINE, Calif. – June 21st, 2011 – After announcing Lucent Heart’s Open Beta (OB) last week and rewarding current community members with some preliminary OB events, Gamania Digital Entertainment is officially announcing that all players will be able to join the Open Beta at 2:00PM PDT today.
