http://www.play-earthrise.com/ taking beta apps... a good article on it.. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/06/25/interview-masthead-talk-earthrise/#more-32651 excerpt
Signed up for beat a few months ago, when it was first announced. Havent checked the forums in ages as well, but AFAIK, its very closed beta atm, with still lots of development going on. Its on my radar for 2011, but has started its hype yet.
Yer I had already applied to this one. Looks promising, kinda like one of those games you don't know will be any good, but defiantly worth giving it a chance. Fingers crossed.
