I know there are a few A-RPG fans here who have enjoyed games such as Diablo, Torchlight and Titans Quest and are looking forward to Diablo 3, Torchlight 2, and Grim Dawn respectively. Well, there's a less known free to play ARPG that just hit closed beta today called Path of Exile.

I've not gotten an invite yet, but I've been stalking their forums since they went public almost a year ago and it looks pretty dang good so far. A few twists it adds to the genre are its itemized skill system (skills are given through gems, are inserted in items, and can be altered with support gems), potion system (flasks with charges and their own mods), and a leagues system for different play-styles.

It will be 100% free to play. There will be a cash shop, but it will only sell aesthetic non game-play impacting items. There are also expansions planned and they will also be free.

The site is www.PathofExile.com
When you register, you are entered in their lottery type beta key give-away.
You can check out their development diaries on their main page, a summary of information pertaining to the game, and their youtube channel.

I hope to see some of you guys there

Edit:
Open beta is right around the corner launching Jan. 23. There is a countdown on the main page and you can pre-download it right now from there as well.

The official Open Beta trailer has also just been released and you can find that right here.
