Warrior Epic Closed Beta Just Around The Corner

Warrior Epic is one of the latest free-to-play MMORPGs to hit the massively multiplayer scene, though it’s actually more like an online RPG a la Guild Wars and Hellgate London than a true seamless, persistent universe. According to the FAQ, Warrior Epic’s campaigns are designed to be played cooperatively. You can play the missions solo, or with up to four friends.

That basically translates to “You can either grind by yourself like it’s single-player game or grind with other players online in instanced dungeons.” Even though it’s free-to-play, there will be micro-transactions in the form of an in-game store where players can purchase special equipment and characters. In a recent interview, however, you won’t exactly be able to buy “power” in the game. In other words, those who decide not to pour money into the game won’t necessarily be at a disadvantage.
