  Open Beta Begins October 13!
  
  

  The Vindictus team is proud to announce that the Vindictus Open Beta will launch on Wednesday, October 13! At that time, all North American players will have the opportunity to join the battle against the Fomors, and Early Acess Beta testers will be able to keep their characters along with any leveling, skills, items and gold they have acquired!
  
  In order to prepare for the Open Beta, we will be closing down the service during our scheduled maintenance on October 5 at 10:00pm (Pacific)/ 1:00am (Eastern). Ending Early Access a little sooner than expected will allow us to address issues that have arisen during testing.
  
  On behalf of the entire Vindictus team, we’d like to thank everyone who participated in the Vindictus Early Access Beta. We also appreciate your patience and good humor as we work out some of the technical difficulties we’re currently experiencing. The good news is that we’ve learned a lot from the Early Access Beta, enough that we’re ready to move on to the next step!
  
  Here’s a look at some of what’s coming in Open Beta:

  Players will enjoy new challenges, new rewards and some of the scariest mobs and bosses they’ve ever seen in our new town Ainle, accessible from the boat on dock three.

  “Something bad has happened in Ainle. Citizens flee from the once idyllic town with grim faces and haunted eyes. The Royal Army has shut the town gates and quarantined the area. Did the Fomors finally attack a human settlement? Perhaps, but there are whispers that something more sinister happened. Whispers from terrified refugees speak of dark magics and arcane horrors. Ainle needs heroes before what happened there spreads toward Colhen.”

  Players will enjoy hot new character customization options including a dye shop and a beauty shop with cool new hairstyles and facial features!

  Need a break from battle? Head over to the fishing dock and try to catch a big one! Fishing is a fun change of pace where players can take on new side quests without the danger of getting attacked by gnolls.

  Strengthen your weapons and armor using Enhancement Stones!
  
  Team up with your friends, or make new friends, by creating or joining a guild.
  
  The level cap will be raised from 26 to 38. You’ll need that extra strength as the battle gets tougher!
  
  …and more!
  
  Whether you are a first-time player or someone who has been around since Closed Beta, we hope you’ll enjoy the Open Beta and all of the new content!

  A week later than predicted and no Evy... If they don't put Evy out pretty soon after OB it's going to take me an entire 'nother month at the least to get my name... Assuming some lucky jerk doesn't nab it at the very second it comes available (and I know the exact time >_>...).
  
  Ugh... way to disappoint me Nexon. >_<
  
  They really need a better way of preserving names. Like, for serious.
