NCSoft and Arena.Net will be treating members of the press to a beta event in the near future. MMORPG.com is one of the lucky attendees and we will have full beta previews, news and articles for our readers on February 20th. That's all we can say...for now. ;) Let the buzz begin!

We've pored over your many awesome DDO screenshots for this week's "Screenshot of the Week," and today we're excited to announce the winning entry!

In today's Chronicles of One Telaran, we get an inside peek at v1.7's new Soul Templates, a nifty (an quick) way to get the build you want. In addition, we gain a bit of knowledge about the history of St. Valentine's Day and how it ties into Rift. Oh really? Yes! Check it out!

In a new editorial piece at RTSGuru.com, the editors wonder aloud, or at least online, about the niche viability of Blizzard's DOTA. Can it find its place in the genre? Read on to see what our buddies over at RTSGuru.com think and then leave them a few comments!

Beta testing is just a quick way to get into our most anticipated MMO IMMEDIATELY...right? Right? Well, maybe not as today's Developer Perspectives opines. We mourn the loss of what used to be an actual testing period for games. Check it out and then add your thoughts in the comments....unless you're That Guy.
