Path of Exile's Colossal Open Beta

Finally, Path of Exile was opening up to the broader public. In PoE’s Open Beta, Grinding Gear Games unchained their upcoming dark fantasy action roleplaying game, allowing anyone who sought it out a chance to play and stress test the game. Between January 23, 2013 and October 23, 2013, hundreds of thousands of exiles washed up on the shores of Wraeclast to hammer the servers of PoE and experience numerous gameplay updates as the developers prepared for its wider release. The introduction of Act III, massive graphical improvements, actual challenge leagues, and much more all arrived during this busy era of Path of Exile—and this series is here to chronicle it all.

As we grow closer to the huge launch of Path of Exile 2, the potentially greatest patch to PoE in its lifetime, join me and explore the entire history of GGG and Path of Exile in the PoE Flashback Series. This is episode three. The fourth one is just a little while off.

Let’s show these developers all the support we can, especially as their fiercest competition of the decade has finally arrived.
