What say you?

It's a sandbox style first person mmo basically, but it definitely has caught my attention. It will be interesting to see how this turns out because they're pretty much aiming for a game built solely around human to human interaction through the game world, no traditional quests, leveling, or any other mmo elements most people are used to, it's a literally do whatever you want setting, including murdering and stealing (though they have a flagging system which will definitely give consequences.)

They're apparently aiming for a July 09 release though I'm not sure if that will happen because I've heard literally nothing about this game, either it's not getting much attention because it's a smaller company or they're just keeping it under wraps.

looks like lord of the rings

[Luc214]

well it's a high fantasy setting what do you expect

[Tillius]

It actually looks pretty cool. Like something I could possibly get into for a bit if I'm just trying to kill a couple meaningless hours of my day.

[Luc214]

the level players go to interact with the world and content is what will make or break it

apparently you can build buildings anywhere on the map from huts to houses to guild halls.

so I mean, the idea is great. Making your way home from a successful dungeon raid with a friend you stumble across a bandit camp with bandits who are real players, who attack and kill and loot you.

[Tillius]

I'll go ahead and be honest and say I plan to spend most of my time murdering unsuspecting players.

[Luc214]

well there's a catch to that, they have a flagging system (not sure exactly how it works) which if you are too much of a bastard you basically become "it" in a sense that you are free game for anyone to kill without consequence (there might even be some sort of reward). also if they have npc guards obviously that would be like dropping a menstruating woman into a vat of sharks

[Tillius]

Should just make it more fun. :evil:
