If anyone is interested, Runic is stress testing the Torchlight 2 beta

I know most of you are probably waist deep in Diablo 3 right now, but there's another fantastic game of the same genre releasing this year.

This weekend Runic will be handing out a lot of beta keys for a stress test this weekend, starting today and ending Tuesday. You're not guaranteed to get one, but all you have to do is sign up for their site.

I've heard good about this game. I think I will sign up.

from what i understand, you can build you classes like any other RPG? id like to try Diablo, but dislike the idea that i might not get -My- character, if you get my meaning.

Of course this is my weekend for finals cramming. FAN-****ING-TASTIC

Loved the first one, picked it up on XBL, I'm sad this is PC only (for now), but none of us really enjoyed the class discriptions so I don't believe any of us will be trying it out.

I'm not saying it should go towards a "mainstream" style with the class system; I'm just saying that at a glance I can't really determine what each of them does.

I'd just prefer a claseless system.

I always enjoyed class systems in games, and I find Torchlight's to be incredibly unique and interesting.

If it was the same old Warrior/Thief/Mage/Ranger etc I probably wouldn't have nearly as much interest in the game.

just picked up copies for me and my buddy. cant wait for release
