There's some good news for European play testers of The Sims Online. As the release of the game in the US is coming closer and closer, the test is also getting closer to its ending. Testers can enjoy the game until another 2 weeks after the release, so until the beginning of next year. However, Europeans still have to wait a while for The Sims Online to be released. Fortunately though, those Europeans will be get in the so-called "International Founders Group". They can play until a while after the European release for free. If you register the full version of The Sims Online before the end of the play test (and after the release) then you will not lose your game progress. The exact release date in Europe is yet undetermined, but it will be next year.
