CCP has announced that closed beta sign-ups for DUST 514 have gone live and for the moment, registration is exclusive to EVE Online players. While access to the beta, called Mordu’s Private Trials, isn’t guaranteed for every EVE player who registers, those who sign-up will be put into a “pool of participants” and if chosen, will be allowed entry into early testing and special events for DUST 514. The PS3 MMOFPS is slated for release in the spring.

CCP has opened ticket sales for EVE Online Fanfest 2012, which takes place on March 22-24 at the Harpa Conference Center in Reykjavík, Iceland. A special early bird pricing deal will run until January 31 to secure your entry for $100, after which you’ll be asked to cough up $125. This year’s event boasts the usual announcements and presentations from developers; competitions; tournaments; parties; pub crawls; Iceland tourist tours you can purchase with PLEX; and exclusive access to DUST 514, including new info, playable demos and a beta key. Visit the event’s website for more information.

Dust 514 creative director Atli Mar Sveinsson has explained to Edge how the game will intersect with Eve Online, with Eve’s corporations “ordering battles in Dust to claim control of planets”.

This bit of interplay and interaction will emerge over time, as CCP plans on updating the game with add-ons a couple times per year and keeping things regulated a bit.

“We have aspirations to add on to Dust twice a year – we have plans for expansions like we have with Eve, and we’ve already drafted out a wishlist of things,” says Sveinsson. “These will involve more involvement for Eve players with Dust, but we’re being very careful.

“Take the economy: this needs to be regulated at first, as the exchange rate of ISK [Eve’s in-game currency] cannot be affected by one game or the other too much at the start. Eve is a player-driven economy, Dust will use a hybrid model and then, as we learn more, we’ll deregulate in stages.

“The players of Eve have always been the greatest source of awesomeness. We tend to facilitate the things they invent for themselves, helping them to make their ideas work.

“Dust will be that sort of thing all over again.”
