One of the more interesting independent MMO games is about to enter a new phase. MMORPG.com has posted up a developer's blog for Global Agenda, announcing that their closed beta test will officially begin later today. In fact a select number of beta testers actually played the game yesterday before its beta test launch.

The start of closed beta testing likely means that the sci-fi action-based MMO from developer Hi-Rez Studios is getting closer to completion. About 1,000 players will be invited at first to beta test the game but it's likely more will be invited in the coming weeks and months. Our sister site Massively has also posted up a video tour of Hi-Rez Studios as the Global Agenda team gets ready for the long awaited beta to begin.
