Orien and Kundarak servers to go offline February 10
I logged into the DDO beta client tonight to see this message:

End of Beta and Opening of New Vadalis Server

Feb 01, 2006 19:00 EST

The DDO team would like to thank the Beta community for all of their assistance and feedback in guiding our game development, finding and fixing bugs and for helping us run a great Beta program. As we wrap up the Beta and get ready for retail release, we wanted to let you know our plans.

We will be ending the Beta Program on February 10, 2006 for non-preorder customers. On this date, we will be closing the Orien and Kundarak servers.

After February 10, Beta will continue for preorder customers on a new server called Vadalis, which is after the February 2 downtime. In order to take advantage of the full preview period, new 10-day preorder Beta accounts should start their characters on this server.

In order to play in the Beta after February 10, you must have preordered the game, registered your 10-day Beta key, set up your account on Vadalis, and still have time remaining on that Beta account.

If you are currently participating in the Beta and have not preordered, now is the time! Not only does preordering get you into the remainder of Beta, it also gets you in the game early at launch and a +1 Armor Class amulet! Preorder your copy and start playing on Vadalis!

* 10-day Beta pass entitles holder to free admission into the preorder Beta program for up to 10 days, subject to continuation of the program (scheduled to close February 19, 2006) and network and server availability.

If you haven't done it yet, you'll soon need to preorder to play the DDO beta!
