"Funcom has not been able to find any higher beta numbers for MMOs in the western world," beamed Morten Larssen, Funcom sales exec. "We believe it represents the largest ever beta sign-up figure in the history of the genre."

That's quite a claim. Are you on the beta? How are you finding Eidos and Funcom's barbaric new world?
