One of his friends got into the beta, from what he said it is incredible. Due to an NDA he could not say much except it will be worth every penny. Arum is tempted by that alone, on top of just getting out of a toxic relationship. He needed the distraction, his one worry is that it will consume his life.
That is why he is on the site; he wants to see if there is a setting to put an alarm in place. He went to the options,and you can, it is right near the top. Seems like he was not the only one worried about that, it also seems like you can forward your phone so you can respond to anything sent to you.
Seems like that added some more information as well. Mainly about a starting bonus, ah they want to make sure there is diversity from the beginning. If you randomize your race, you can get two bonus modules at the start. Nice, I have never cared about race all that much so I might do that.
Let''sstart with modules, they are one of the gimmicks of the game. Instead of set classes you choose four modules at the start, and you learn skills from those modules. Some synergize and even mutate if you chose certain starting modules, the exact details are unknown about that though. I want to be a pilot so I will look for a module for piloting.
The third and last gimmick is the secrecy surrounding the game, normally there would be leaks and info dumps from the company to hype up the game. This time they intentionally kept everything locked down about the game. They only gave out the basics, the only reason we know what we do is the CEO revealed it in an interview.
Soon those months passed by the overtime he worked paid for the game ten times over. Arum left his place to meet up with John, his best friend and the beta tester. He entered the bar they always met at; he saw John at their normal spot. "Readyfor the release of SFO?”
John looked up at him, “do you really have to ask redundant questions like that? Of course, I am ready, so how are you going to choose your faction? I am bummed the NDA is so tight I would talk with you about it so we can play together. So,describe what you will be going for and we will see if we get the same faction.”
Arum grinned at his reaction, “I will be going mainly off of their ships. Mainly looking for a more aggressive design, wedge shaped with plenty of powerful guns. Though if they have a messed-upgovernment, I won''t go with them, with that I am looking for a mixed-racegroup. With a major lean towards the most competent person is put in charge, even if it comes at the cost of some personal freedoms.

Arum grinned, “pilot if there is one for it. If not, the closest I can get to it, for the rest whateverlooks good.”
John smiled, “I planned on going a smooth-talking rogue. You fly I get us cargo;it will be perfect.”
After that Arum spoke up, “so you mentioned your rough plan for your character. What race are you going with?”
“Sounds good, let''s see if we can get the whole group together for it. Later, stay safe out there. People have gone a little crazy.”
“You to man, talk later.”
“Starting SFO, adventure awaits the brave.”

“It is automatic once you select the random option. If you want, you can randomize it all or just some of it. For every random button you activate you get more rewards.”
