Has anyone checked out 'Crusades MMORPG' yet?  Looks like they are going for seamless planet to space travel and player-built civs. I appreciate the fact that they are not promising more than they can deliver with each iteration, and it is fully funded - so it's not 'Vape' (which haters like to whine about)   However, when reading through the FAQ - they mention something about purchasing in-game credits.  I personally think that is not good.  Other than that - I'm looking forward to something open ended in an ever expanding universe.

It seems intresting I think I'll keep an eye on it. Alot of things they mention in the features seem like great ideas if they can actually be worked out "Seamless 'planetary-to-space and beyond' Travel." without loading screens this tad ambitious but if done right it will be a very attractive feature because it gives gamers less wait time and more play. And I didn't get what this meant " PvE anywhere, and PvP out of Home-world Solar Systems." Okay I understand the part about pvp outside of a certain safezone but what does pve anywhere mean? Do other games have places where your not pve besides the pvp zones? I nitpick alot but don't get me wrong this game looks good so far.

It sounds interesting and i will be watching.

However, I won't have my hopes up ... the features sound too good to be true and i don't know if the developers (they don't seem to have a long track record) can pull it off.

Agreed. Until I see a company such as Blizzard pull this off, I doubt the smaller ones will have the time or development power to get this off the ground and going.

They are fully funded, so it's definately not vaporware.  Blizzard created the "Fischer Price" of MMOs.  However,  I also highly encourage free enterprise and Indie MMOs.

  Several Devs are answering our questions about Crusades.  It's nice to see that they actually care about what people like/dislike in other MMOs.

Found a recent  interview about Crusades on Gamebunny.com:

gamebunny:
The Crusades FAQ makes mention of “a universal scale never before brought to an online audience” and “infinite universe technology”. How much content are we really talking here? Infinite is rather large.

FatalFX:
We want players to build bold strong characters, explore, build and expand. But why make it hard for players if we have so much real estate? With that thought in mind, the risk involved may be spreading oneself and your resources too thin to adequately protect your civilization in light of an open ended PvP universe. Nevertheless, the real estate is out there for players to do with as they please.
