1. Too early for "similiar". The game doesn't even have all the foundations put into place yet (just enough so the game runs). We don't even have spells...

2. Its a very "early" beta. Other companies would likely call what we have now an alpha. Stardock has a different philosophy in regards to releaseable software. The game is still very much changeable at this point (thats how they want it when their customers touch it).

3. Not for the beta 1 series (the cut off point for that was long ago). You can get in at the beta 2 series later when it becomes available. Check the schedual.
