Sega and Three Rings are having a closed preview game and I've already started playing it.

It's an interesting take. It's sorta of a mix between Legend of Zelda and Phantasy Star Online.
Still trying out the early potions just to get the feel for the controls, which seem kinda simple.

max, how did you manage to get the invitation to play?
I'm really interested in the game; I joined the newsletter three days ago but nothing  :cry:

I played it the day SEGA announced it. Just follow SpiralKnights on twitter, they occasionally update saying they have spots open. Even if you don't get it though.. game officially opens on April 4th.. so not too long

Game is pretty fun, and I love the music.

Wow. You guys are tempting me.

PC only?

[Happy Cat]

It's a Java based game.

[Barry the Nomad]

ooooooh! So I can play it! :D

Unlike Shogun 2, PSO2 and a ton of other games.

I like the visual style. Looks like something SEGA would have released in the Saturn days.

Thanks for the signup link!  I like it so far.  Really cool art direction and music... I would like it to support a controller though.

There are Suggestion boxes littered around the game world, make a suggestion about it. It's a good idea!

I'd like to use my USB xbox360 controller!

Wow, having quite a bit of fun with it.  Some lag on my end, and I don't know if having a Mac differs from a PC some, but all-in-all, it's great.  ...You can kind of feel the addiction creeping in.  :!:

[Sharky]

I've not had any lag yet on my PC, even with a bunch of MSN and browser windows open.
I was thinking it ran very, very well honestly.

Either way, very addictive!

It runs pretty OK on my PC. I don't have a good GPU though, so I'd say it runs pretty well for my crappy PC =P
