IGG has announced that they are working on a new science fiction MMO called 2029 Online.

IGG (http://www.igg.com/), a leading MMO publisher in North America, has scored a big hit with its brand new MMO game-2029 Online. With an epic storyline broken into exquisitely plotted quests and snaking through your playing hours, this game is set to enjoy great success and even greater market dominance. Get your game time groove on and become the Savior of war-torn Helen Continent. Will the inspired and cunning Humans outsmart the awakened Dryad and take over the universe? Or will the sneaky Electronic Elves step in and successfully bring down the Humans’ plans to build their leadership and save this sinful land? The war has just begun!

Game Intro

2029 Online (http://forum.2029.igg.com/) is the first MMOG with a good amount of three Corridors, RTS and RPG elements all thrown into the mix. It mimics and allows the virtual equivalent of real combat experiences. Players explore a realistic and colorful world rendered in real time 3D. The smooth 3D character animation, the delicate Avatar System design and various interesting scenario’s with a real-world-like game environment help the game break into a market overrun with competitors that too often look alike. The beautiful scenery and stunning computer graphics will leave you awestruck. The game has many convenient designs, including Quick Locate, Auto Attack and Mercenary, which keep the challenges in the game and off the keyboard. Quests in the game will not only bring you expand quality gear but the fun and the feeling of belonging to a team. The instanced dungeons await heroes to venture in and meet the darkness head on. You can create a dungeon scene anywhere to get hooked for hours during your adventure. This game is poised for huge success and to win peoples’ hearts with its DIY fun kits to create all sorts of interesting things, including unique fighting vehicles, the quality time spent producing gorgeous gear, and intense battles over territory and brutal competition among guilds. Five classes stemming from the three races help increase the mystique of the game. This year you’ll be checking your calendar over and over again to make sure it’s not really 2029.

The game is a skill-based sci-fi MMORPG. As the first game launched with a customized Fighting Vehicle leveling system, this game has many advantages that put it above the rest of the global competition.

Changed my mind - not worth it. lol

IGG, that company that churns out some of the biggest disgraces to the MMO genre, and it seems like they have a new steaming pile of shit every month. Stop making bad(terrible) games.

More trite, hackneyed, Asian anime garbage?

Pass.

k, online searches for this game are bringing up negligible results. even igg's website has nothing on it. yeah, there's a forum for it, but I want more! Just seems a little early to start building guilds.

This is the stickied 'Intro to 2029 Online' in the Announcements section of the 2029 Online Forums...

Intro to 2029 Online
2029 Online is a massive online sci-fi based multiplayer experience set in a world ravaged by hatred throughout the Helen Continent, and never-ending conflicts between races and rebel forces. Players from across the globe come together online, fight for freedom and justice and combat against each other to uphold their faith and glory. Unlike other MMO games, as the game heats up, players will soon break away from killing mobs to level themselves and play the game with a PvP element. You will find your fun in the battlegrounds.

Your heroic exploits in the Helen Continent will give you access to a huge variety of class-specific skills. 2029 Online brings graphically visualized flamboyance back to your playing experience, featuring stunning 3D graphics and variable game modes. Sometimes, the game will go fullscreen, blending intense game play and fantasy appeal together into one work of art. You can create your own room in the game on the purpose of forging lasting bonds of friendship with heroes who share a dream and fight to turn sword and sorcery tales into a reality. With all of these different PvP modes, you can show off your combat skills and grow into a top PvPer under the help of these sworn brothers, your most powerful allies when in peril. The moment-to-moment interaction with the game and players will help increase the role playing appeal during periods of increased tension. Its quest system offers you assorted quests with a story element. Some of them are branched out and composed of many addictive branching quests. The interaction between NPCs and players has also been intensified. No matter if you are the pinnacle of virtue or a stellar scumbag, of great eminence or a nobody, the way to play the game is up to you. You are writing a history – it's up to you to be glorious or notorious. Your stories will be read by us. We will pass judgment on you so take care of your choices. The roles you are playing in the game will win respect or condemnation. The game based on a solid idea for its design guarantees a smooth control while you are slashing and slaying enemies. You'll be hooked for hours.

The game's music is adaptive, which means it changes between different scenes or parts of your gameplay. The clashing of steel, the beat of drums and the shrilling of trumpets form a welcome chord and set your heart afire. You play and combat with strong confidence boosted by these wonderful pieces. Not all tracks in the game are fast paced. There are also some soul soothing melodies. Listening to them will lift your spirits and give your mind a relaxed sensation. It is certainly an enjoyment to indulge in the visual feast and audio stimuli that you find in this game. Let’s just leave the real world behind.

The Far Realm where multiple cultures exist
2029 Online puts you right in the middle of a clash of civilizations. The planet Earth was destroyed by nuclear weapons and homeless human beings piloted a huge spaceship through space in search for a new planet to thrive and survive. They settled on Helen Continent and found a world shattered and plagued by fights between the races living here. These alien races were intelligent and had highly developed forms of culture. But their hatred toward each other was such that they wanted nothing but to hack each other into pieces and see their enemies’ blood spill everywhere. The planet was under the constant threat of war. Humans quickly grabbed a keen advantage in the struggles, striving to become the dominant species and forging new alliances of cultures. After many years passed, only a few outstanding and resilient species have remained: Humans, Dryads, Electronic Elves, Ice Energy and Mechanicals. Since then, Helen Continent has gradually built a world of peace and co existence.

Features:
2029 Online a skill based epic Sci-fi MMORPG.. The game designers spent three years crafting an idea into a challenging game experience. Being the first of anything is pretty historic.

Putting aside the childish feel of the entire 'Intro', of special note is the section that I highlighted in yellow.  Apparently the game has been in developement for three years (started sometime in 2006?), so all of that happened in 23 years!?

• The Earth destroyed by nuclear war
• The remaining humans built a huge spaceship
• They piloted that ship to a new planet
• They settled the planet
• They grabbed a keen advantage (what the hell is a keen advantage?)
• After many years passed only a few species remained
• Since then peace and co-existence (then who is fighting?)

Then there is the green highlighted section... Came out? I thought it was still in developement.  What titles? The first sci-fi MMORPG classic? What?

And that list of 'features'...

If this stickied intro is any indication of the quality of the game, well, I think I'll pass.

Trying..........................not......................to...................laugh........................FAILED.

I'm still waiting for a really imaginative, innovative sci-fi mmo to be designed that isn't based on features found in found in every mmo today, There are some great sci-fi writers that could be emulated with some fantastic new ideas.

Soon as I saw IGG I stopped reading.  I would be literally shocked to see something good come out of that studio.  I don't expect that to change any time soon either.

I didn't even bother trying. I just let the laughs roll on out.

Read the artical and said, I may have found a game that interest me? Then saw those horrible 1990's video game screenshots . Well IGG made Voyage Century and what can you really expect? Sad really! There making a NINTENDO 64 look high tech.

In their site:

"The statistics hase been cached"

Nothing more to say, really.

well i saw sci fi and thought yay looks good then i saw IGG and thought oh not so great then i saw levels and classes and thought not going to be a good game then then i re read the first paragraph and thought crock of shit

this game will suck arse imo

 I can be short on this one:

HAHAHA

This is a joke right?

There is a video of this game on youtube:  2029 Online Video

Looking at that doesn't make me excited about this game.

So  everyone else finds the above unintentionaly funny as well. 

The over the top hype of the first line kinda makes you think this company is clueless and the used car salesman trying to sell it to you knows it. 

Of to it's site I gooo...

What's up with the little cars racing around?   I assume this will be a F2P game?  If so, it could be the best looking game evar and I'd skip it.  F2P attracts the wrong community for me to enjoy those types of games.

IGG are the ones that just publish games over for NA version but the thing is these games are most probably games that have really cheap licensing rates in order just to make some money by the few that will play it here.

Their latest game they published here has been exposed for plagiarising everything from Ragnarok to Final Fantasy: art, characters, scenery, the whole nine yards and will likely result in some big trouble ( anybody wanna see IGG try to defend themselves against Square-Enix? lol ). Can't wait to see how much of Starcraft is in this one.
