What is the latest Beta information?
All we know at this time is that current PlanetSide Subscribers will get first dibs at PlanetSide Next beta.
In other news - early next year we will have announcements about Planetside Next followed by a beta. I can say this - it's coming along awesome. I can also say that the first beta testers are going to be current Planetside subscribers. I've gotten a lot of email from current players offering to help test the game and we're going to take them up on it.

What do we know about the Game Mechanics?
Sadly we do not know much information regarding this. What we do know is what Smed has blogged about in the recent past.
Planetside had a lot of really great things about it, but it also had some frustrating things. The whole Sanctuary concept is something that slowed things down too much. We also didn't get people back into the action quickly enough.
