Perfect World Entertainment has moved its upcoming MMORPG, Battle of the Immortals into Open Beta. The Open Beta phase for the game kicked off today and players are now free to log in and create their characters without having to worry about having them wiped as there will be no more character wipes from this point on.

The announcement is also accompanied by a new developer diary video with Product Manager Jonathan Belliss. The video delves into some of the game's dungeons, missions, and death penalties. One of the dungeons discussed is a level 20 dungeon known as Knight's Jail, which is a casual, beginner-friendly dungeon that Belliss states, "you can complete it in 15-20 minutes as long as you have a group that isn't full of idiots." The dungeon also averages out the level to fit players in a group.

Belliss also covers some of the other content within the game that includes zombie pirates. And the only thing greater than pirates is when they're zombies. Is all this sounding interesting? Be sure to check out the video for more details.
