quote from the linked article:

As this article is being written, beta testers at secret locations across the United States and around the world are beginning to test Rise of Nations.

I'm guessing that Thessaloniki, Greece and Ontario, Canada are two of those secret locations.

Kyle: congrats on your recent appointment.

Thanks. Now, when do I get my copy of the beta?

hmmm the link doesnt work anymore...!

[ixnay]

Bizarre...the page just disappeared...

Of course, I didn't get to it through a link; I just followed the format of the previous articles' addresses to find it. Possibly it wasn't ready to be unveiled yet and they feel like hiding it. But at least I got all the major info from it.

Okay, the link seems to work again.
