Customers who pre-purchase the game will receive "beta access, in-game items, and other incentives."
Pre-Purchase details from the Global Agenda Steam listing:
- Participate in the Global Agenda Beta – Players that pre-order will gain access to Global Agenda beta events in January. Note that the beta servers are available for play only during specific play test windows, and that tests may be limited to only certain game features. To participate in the Global Agenda beta, you must register your Product Key online at the Global Agenda website following your pre-purchase. Registered beta participants will receive specific test instructions prior to each Closed Beta test event, as the events are announced.

Players that also pre-subscribe to the "Global Agenda: Conquest" gameplay will be able to reserve an Agency name during the Name Reserve event.

That made me lol
Not only have other games had more "realism" (EVE, Fallen Earth) but I remember Fallen Earth using "no Elves blah blah blah" as a main selling point as well. And to be honest "Global Agenda" looks cartoony and kiddish.
I play all ghame
Joyous of Days!!!!!
I have been waiting on the release date for this jewel ever since I first heard about it last February. Not only does the game look fantastic and the pricing model is top-notch, but these developers really need support. Considering this is Hi-Rez's first major game to hit shelves, they will be contending with many of the big dog studios in both the MMO and Shooter genres. I'm sure this game will not fall short. I have had too many bad experiences with today's typical cookie-cutter MMOs (WAR, Aion, WoW, EQ2)
If you are at all interested in this game, show your love to them

Feb 1st has been the release date for a while now.

^^ This. I'm in Beta as well. Game is FUN! Dev team is great. Can't wait until AvA. PREORDER TIME!
Will Global Agenda rely on instancing or will it be more of an open world environment?
From a pure technical perspective, most of the player-vs-player combat inside Global Agenda will occur inside instanced battlegrounds with strike teams of around 10 vs 10 players. That said, the results of those battles have longer-term persistence in the world of Global Agenda, affecting your Agency's ability to control territory that helps produce output toward our Campaign end game. Players will be able to socialize and conduct economic activity in our city spaces.
Darn, I was hoping for bigger battles than 10v10, and less instancing, like what they have in Plannet Side 120v120. I still plan to check this game out though, could be fun!
I need a new MMOG
