According to the official Phantasy Star Online 2 blog, the closed beta test has been extended until Monday, April 30. Players will be given additional Arks Cash to play with until the beta ends.
In other news, some players are reporting that "hackers" have appeared in the beta test. Normally I would not approve of this kind of thing, but here we seem to have a situation where the script kiddies' lack of intelligence may actually benefit the game in the long run.
This is a closed beta test after all. And because these guys decided to try out their "hacks" (I use that term very loosely) now, the developers should have plenty of time to figure out what's going on and make the appropriate changes before the game goes live. This would also be a great time for the developers to test out their GM/admin tools!
Of course, since this is the Japanese beta test there are bound to be a lot of opinions regarding English-speaking players (who are likely behind much of the mischief). However, the developers (and Japanese players) hopefully will remember that the behavior of a handful of morons should not be considered representative of the community as a whole.
