<a href="http://www.outspark.com/">Outspark</a> plans to enter the second closed beta phase of their free-to-play MMORPG known as <a href="http://erebus.outspark.com/"><em>Erebus: Travia Reborn</em></a> on April 14. The isometric <em>Diablo</em>-style action game will add a dueling system, three PvP maps, three new instanced dungeons, and an increased level cap (50) starting tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Additionally the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/outspark">Outspark</a> team has added guild versus guild warfare, a new tutorial, and many tweaks to both the leveling curve and the skill system. Many changes were made based on feedback from the initial closed beta phase that wrapped in March.<br />
<br />
"<em>The first Closed Beta was a big success. We kept it mostly in the </em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/outspark">Outspark</a><em> community, but we still had thousands of people sign up to play, and the feedback they provided was invaluable. I think people who participated in the first beta are really going to like the changes we made and the new features being added for Closed Beta 2</em>," said Ben Berens, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/erebus"><em>Erebus</em></a> Associate Producer.<br />
