Judging from the response to our recent APB: Reloaded closed beta key giveaway, a lot of players are anxious to get into the game and ride around the streets of San Paro. Well, GamersFirst CTO and COO Bjorn "TechMech" Book-Larsson's latest blog entry is focused on prepping for the open beta, which will unleash the game to all players.

Before the open beta can begin, the European datacenter needs to launch in closed beta. Once that happens, at least 25,000 more closed beta testers will be invited to join the game. If you registered for the closed beta and are waiting to join in on the process, expect a massive wave of invites to be sent out when the EU datacenter goes live, which should happen shortly after the team receives some critical network components.

Book-Larsson ends the letter by promising that everyone who applied for the closed beta will get early access ahead of open beta. Just be patient, and you'll be siding with the criminals or the enforcers in no time.
