I'm pretty sure it will be a Closed Beta. There are no official information yet about the beta.

Quoted from "Zyra"

Is the Beta Korea only?

Yes. Korean closed beta testing will occur - if everything goes as planned - in the first half of 2013. That should mean a second or third CBT occurs end of summer/early fall. From there, open beta testing in October/November and launch maybe in December. From what's been mentioned, despite the game looking great and so much being in place already, they still have to overhaul the entire combat system (moving from tab target only to action combat similar to TERA). They did say Westernization would be localization and none of the key game mechanics would be changing (I guess we'll see if that's true since PVP almost always changes for a Western audience).

Given AION and TERA launches, the US launch was at least nine months after the Korean launch, so I'm expecting US CBT the middle of 2014 with a US launch late 2014 or early 2015.

Jacob Han did say the Western version would just need a localization and that they weren't changing the game mechanics for the Western audience. That *could* mean a six month or so turnaround and release in the US/Western markets instead of the 1+ year we usually see from Korean games. I'd *love* to see this game in 2013, but I just don't see how that'd happen unless the KCBT is in Feb/March.

I plan to follow these forums closely; I am totally curious abt the combat system and beta testing seems the best way to find out more information.

Well the combat style has not really been concerned. They stated at one point they where going for action combat then later on said not. But we can't be sure until they offically announce what they have decided. The Game*Star Videos from 2012 I believe where a quick put together so that people could look at the game.
