We hope that you will enjoy the new features and updated graphics of Nexus 6.5. We look

Download the Open Beta client!
If you took part in the previous alpha test, you do not need to download the beta client.
An automatic patch is available by logging in with the alpha client.
(9/27/2005)- Open beta ends! - We want to thank everyone who participated in
the beta. The help of our beta testers has been a great asset to the Nexus 6.5.
We will take a few days to prepare and package the release client, then we will announce
a release date. We hope to be able to announce a release date very shortly. We will give
everyone around a week to download the client in preparation of the launch. We will also
have a much smaller download available for our beta testers. So hang on to your beta client!
After launch we plan to release a string of updates for the new client. Our first goal is to
allow customization of the colors and the size of the text in the new client. After that
we'll have content updates, new areas, items and more.
There is a ton of potential in this new client upgrade. We hope to utilize it to the fullest.
We are very excited about the future of Nexus! More news to come!
