Anyone else waiting for this game eagerly? I normally don't hype myself up over MMO's as i've been disappointed almost everytime in the last 6-7 years or so. But if they pull this game off its going to be amazing. Havn't seen anything posted here about it.
They're aiming for a niche market really, and the majority of WoW/EQ2 etc players will be put off by a lot of the stuff in the game, which imo will benefit the community.
Its aimed at PvPers mainly. And PvE'ers/Crafters who don't want to feel like they're wrapped in bubble wrap and want some risk involved in what they are doing.
Fully lootable corpses (yay!), large scale battles, player housing, player built & run cities, sieging of player cities with siege weapons & armies etc, player controlled economy, sea battles & piracy, skill system (no leveling), highway robbery of player traders/merchants etc.
I can't help but think they've taken on too much, but the game has been in development for 4 years or so now without it folding. The clan beta should be out sometime this year so fingers crossed it'll be out sometime in 2008. Any pre-2000 UO players who havn't heard about this game yet, its built for you!
More information can be found here for anyone intrigued.
