Nexon just announced that Dragon Nest was awarded three top honors at the 2011 Asia Online Game Awards: "Best Design," "Best Technology" and "Most Popular Online Game" in China! The ceremony took place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on August 2.

Dragon Nest's open beta was scheduled to end today, but Nexon has extended it for an undetermined amount of time. However, Nexon stated in the awards press release that the action MMO will officially launch later this month for the PC in the United States, Canada and Oceania.
