The Hero Online Closed Beta is officially finished now, and Netgame has now not only announced an Open Beta, they'll also be giving veteran players who continue playing the interesting MMO a nice present - the "Special Closed Beta Item". We have no idea what item exactly it's going to be, but the game's website will have more information regarding this event soon. In order to be eligible, it's enough to have participated in only one of the two Closed Betas, but you must have at least one character that reached past the 3rd Dan - which shouldn't be a problem for anyone who has played the Closed Beta regularly. Also, there'll only be one item per account, regardless of how many characters you have.

The Open Beta will launch on June 30, lasting for a full month. This is the opportunity for anyone to try out the game based on ancient Chinese culture. It's story was written by an acclaimed novelist, supporting the action-heavy gameplay where players can choose from a variety of realistic moves and attacks rooted in martial arts. The aesthetics and creativity of this fighting style make Hero Online a very special MMO experience.
