Hi-Rez Studio's upcoming MMOG, Global Agenda, will be entering Closed Beta Phase 1 on July 24th, 2009. Executive Producer Todd Harris posted a Dev Blog over at MMORPG.com discussing the specifics on Global Agenda's upcoming beta phase.

During CBT1 we will introduce Character Progression. So, you will interact with vendors, mission-givers and other players within Dome City, level your character thru missions against the Commonwealth (PvE) &/or other players (PvP), earn and allocate skill-points into talent trees, acquire new high-tech gear, customize your appearance with new suits and dyes, enhance your character thru technology implants that are player-crafted and available thru the auction house, and earn personal achievements.
