Cloud Pirates Closed Beta Starts October 18th, Begins Selling Founder's Packs

Cloud Pirates closed beta will begin on October 18th, and eager players can now purchase Founder's Packs. The test phase will last until October 24th.

ing does not guarantee you a spot, but you'll at least have an RNG chance. You'll need a My.com to sign up. If you previously participated in the 'Friends and Family "Up The Ante"' contest then you're spot is already reserved.

Or you could guarantee a spot by purchasing a Founder's Pack—I'm starting to believe Closed Beta tests exist solely to build up hype and sell packs but maybe that's another article. They can be purchased in 3 flavors: beginning at $9.99 and ending at $59.99 (currently on sale at $39.98).

At their most basic Founder's Packs provide:

• Guaranteed access to every Closed Beta Test – help test and provide on the game!
• Early access prior to release – a good pirate never takes the long route!
• Extended treasure map storage – never lose your share of the booty!
• Two elite airships with exclusive skins – make your mark in style!
• Two sets of special sails for all airships available at release – your enemies will know exactly who gunned them down!

My.com is creating a serious catalog of games, having just announced the Revelation Online closed beta test as well. I imagine they'll be around for quite a long time.
