I havent followed much of ER's development, but I thought you are on Earth or some similar single planet? No space stuff right? Just curious if I missed something huge :)

Wanted to play this, but in the UK it is the most expensive PC game released in the last decade. If Activision doesn't think people will pay more than £40 for Call of Duty, then why do Masthead think anyone would pay £43 for this?

This will be fun to follow, as people in the beta can atest the thing is seriously non-working. This may be a new level of epic-fail launch!

 I can't say i've read too much, but there are alien looking creatures all over. If it is earth it is far in the future or they have some other explanation for dramtic mutations.

Does this mean its hitting D2D today? Currently not there on the UK or US store. Any idea which other digital distributers will have it - Steam or Impulse?

You can buy it directly from Masthead's website.

Bobfish, you can get the box much cheaper if you shop around. There are several threads which point the way.

Kuinn, they aren't native english speakers. It is sci-fi themed, not space themed :D

Now if they'd just launch the game already...

Is there going to be any trial? I'm quite desperate for some MMO at the moment :/ Or any suggestions for poor player with nothing to play? Good graphics is a plus :)

Heh. Rift has cast such a large shadow over this forum that both EarthRise & DCUO are hardly mentioned. I did have the pleasure of testing ER and will be pickin up a sub 6-12 months down the road. I prefer joining sandbox games after the community settles In and the economy is developed a bit more.

you actually mean, i will not spend my money on a game that is releasing in a broken state and is a mess. 6 months to a year is about the time they should of been releasing, not today. The game needs atleast that long to cook to be actually playable.

DCU is hardly mentioned? I feel I saw much more articles for DCU than Rift, specially since it is released and Rift is no.

 I know but it's an absolute rip off. Can't help but think other Digital Retailers will keep the price standard. There's no way I'm buying it at £43 - £13 higher than almost every standard PC game here in the UK.

This game is gonna make Mortal Online look good. lol.
