"We have successfully released Match Making this week. Yes we are almost ready to launch Open Beta
We will announce open beta when we reach 60,000 likes on our facebookhttp://www.facebook.com/GarenaHoN. Become a fan today and ask your friend to like the page as well!" (Qouted from hon-garena forums)
Hon-garena will finally release open beta! but they are giving this in one condition, "Like us on facebook!" if not opening this game would again be delayed. Mixed emotions had happened when they finally announced this on facebook, some do not want open beta and some of course badly agree with open beta. They have different reasons and rationality behind the said event e.g more spies, more fake accounts, more screwed games! But those who had waited for eternity and still waiting do not need any reasons they just want to play. But of course I think with or without the likes on facebook, hon-garena will release open beta. It may be delayed but still they will release this. Hon-garena is not just a game, It's a capitalistic game, the more players in the game the money they will get, It's a simple logic, in our capitalistic society in our world, capitalistic exchange is necessary--I will provide you this, if you will give me that. There is no reason of giving! If you deconstruct any event that they are providing indirectly or directly the one benefiting is not really the players but the hon-garena itself. So again we just have to wait, we are playing their game and we need to abide with the rules of their game. Some would go beyond the law but it's their choice. Good luck!
