In Dino Storm, players assume the role of wild west style sheriffs maintaining law and order in a hazardous, lively world inhabited by bandits and prehistoric creatures. Awe-inspiring dinosaurs are doubling as mounts, waiting to be saddled and taken for a ride by brave players. Numerous NPCs make a living in and around the central town of Dinoville, providing easy tasks for those new to MMOs as well as massive, challenging open world adventures scaling with the number of attendees.

Access to the closed beta event is granted through mandatory Beta Keys which will be offered to interested gamers on several occasions during the coming weeks.
