Bring a flame beast with you to open beta

Santa Clara, CA – June 10, 2010 – Today ChangYou.com (US) expressed their gratitude to the Blade Wars community for all their support. To show their appreciation, all players who log in between June 18th & 20th will receive a “Flame Beast” mount to use once the game enters open beta.

The Flame Beast increases your movement speed by 80%, leaving your friends in the dust. The creation of the mount is not limited to any particular class, so you don’t ever have to feel left out.

New players are still welcome to join the Closed Beta by visiting the us.ChangYou.com Blade Wars forums. Information on how to obtain a Beta Key can be found at http://us.changyou.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=72.

“Blade Wars isn’t like any other MMORPG game out there.” says Angie Canary, Blade Wars Associate Producer. “It takes a tremendous amount of strategy to be the best; you can customize your attack combos to fit any situation!”

Blade wars enters open beta on June 24th.
