With the November launch of Atlantica Online right around the corner, our coverage is just getting started.  For the entire month of October Allakhazam will bring you the most in depth Atlantica Online coverage around. Our glimpse today is the first of many exclusives that we'll be unveiling over the coming weeks.

We have for you an exclusive look at some of the content that you can expect to see as a new player within an hour of starting the game. As you can see, it doesn't take long for the action to start.

Enjoy the latest exclusive screenshots in our ever growing Atlantica Online screenshot gallery.

The open beta phase of Atlantica Online starts in a few hours and we couldn't be more excited here at Allakhazam. During the beta NDOORS will be running a contest and giving away more than $30,000 in cash and other prizes depending on the level of participation. More information to come on that later, for now, prepare for open beta!

The Atlantica Online open beta commences Wednesday, Sept. 24, at 6 p.m. Pacific Daylight Saving Time (PDT) . We can't wait to see you all in the Atlantica world.

For people who took part in the closed beta, you must first ready your computer by removing all previous Atlantica program files on your hard drive, prior to downloading and installing the updated client. Click here for more on these details.

Once you begin playing in the open beta, you will have to start anew your quest for the fabled lost civilization of Atlantis and your plans for global domination via your guilds. There was a wipe at the conclusion of closed beta - except for the benefits promised earlier to closed beta participants. You can see those benefits in detail in a previous announcement by clicking here . 

Over the weekend NDOORS hosted the 'North American Regional Final' to decide who will go on to the Game & Game World Championships in November. The competition was fierce and in the end, it all came down to two friends battling it out. Check out the events that transpired last Saturday, September 20th in Southern California.

Josh Eaton must really like Atlantica Online. He was willing to drive more than a thousand miles, from   Longmont, Colorado, to take part in the North American regional final of the 2008 Game & Game World Championship (GNGWC) in Southern California.

"It's a great game, and I figured I'd get a chance to play and see how I rate against other top players," said Eaton, during a break in the competition, which was held on Sept. 20, at the Cyberia Internet Café in the city of Gardena.

The GNGWC is a tournament for the world's top online gamers, with regional finals winnowing down a field from across the globe into a few elite players. The top competitors from Europe and Southeast Asia have already been selected, with players from South America, Korea and Japan still to be determined. They, plus the top two North American finalists, will all then gather in Seoul, South Korea, on Nov. 4 for the GNGWC Grand Final to vie for the title of world champion. In 2008, the games in GNGWC competition include Navy Field, Silkroad Online, Shot Online, and Atlantica, which begins its open beta on Sept. 24.

The Atlantica Online team has graciously sent us nine new screen shots they've released for their game which is still in closed beta.
