Can one man make an MMO game? Not without a lot of "Love" which also happens to be the name of the MMO developed by the one man team of Eskil Steenberg. The game's been in alpha testing for the past few months but on January 7 the game officially enters beta testing.

For the moment only people who participated in the alpha testing of the game (they had to pay 3 euros for the privilege) can access the beta. But Steenberg states that the beta will be open to anyone on January 7. The beta will still cost 3 euros to access for a 30 day period. Steenberg states that the beta means the game is now "feature complete". That means "all functionality planed for the full release have been implemented, so it's got loads of new cool stuff that I don't want to spoil."

A few days ago, the one man creator of the upcoming MMO Love released a test client of the game to check to see if the game would run on PCs. Now the creator has released a new client that now allows players to actually sign onto servers to check out the indie game for themselves.

There is a catch, however. While most alpha and beta tests of games are free to play, playing in the Love alpha will in fact require a fee of 3 Euros. In this case its someone understandable (one person, Eskil Steenberg, is making the game all by himself). However if you don't feel like paying some money to play an admittedly unfinished game then you might want to hold off.
