Jumpgate Evolution Beta awareness has been been quietly gaining momentum throughout the spring and early summer.  We knew it would be big so it is not too much of a surprise that the beta registration was a success, bringing in 250,000 registrations exceeded even Codemasters expectations.

Codemasters, publishers of Archlord, has announced that this is now the largest beta campaign they have ever run.  Jumpgate Evolution is currently in Alpha testing phase, which usually sees the most significant number of content related changes compared to closed and open beta.

This is a fantastic achievement for everyone involved with Jumpgate Evolution,

said David Solari, Vice President, Codemasters Online.

We have received overwhelming support for the game since the commencement of its Beta sign up last year and our fans have been clamoring for the Beta. We expect our fans to agree that it was well worth the wait. Our players’ enthusiasm continues to exceed our expectations at every milestone and we are extremely excited to achieve such fantastic support, we have thoroughly enjoyed obtaining some valuable feedback from the people in our Friends & Family test, helping us to take the next major step towards launch.

said Scott Brown, President of NetDevil.
