It's a sandbox. Here's the quote from their Facebook page:
Here's the link to there Facebook page and their website: https://www.facebook.com/FireflyUniverseOnline http://fireflyuniverseonline.com/ They are calling it a sandbox and are going to have a release date with access keys. As in it's an actual product, not just dreamware. I'm a little stunned to be honest. Join the League For Gamers. |

Great IP for an MMO, couldn't undertsnad why it was canceled. Being JW I would have though they would have given it the benefit of another season at least. |

Players come for the game, but they stay for the people- Most Devs have forgotten this. |

Adored the show, but a MMORPG... I would rather not. The magic of the show came from the chemistry of script/ people/ time/ place and how can that be replicated in a game like this? I will give it a fair look though. It might scratch my itch to play an Elite type of game. |

Originally posted by vesavius any fans of Firefly will be disappointed as it bears little if any resemblance to the TV show, beyond a few names for things, i have to wonder if the dev's of this game even watched a single episode... |

Sounds interesting but not enough information on those two sites to tell if it seems good or not. |

The what now?
Last i checked they were in the stage of "we need people that will make assets for us...for free..plx" Sort of like Infinity: quest for earth |

Remember Serenity!
(sigh) I am containing my hopes. STO failed (in my eyes). ToR is failing.. I will not allow my love for a show to be so easily preyed upon. That being said, Nathan Fillion keeps bringing up a continuation idea for the series.. Would this be enough to sell that to a network? |

This game has been killed off & ressurected a few times now, I would hold out more hope if I'd seen a half-way recognisable name behind it but that hasn't happened yet. Could easily see this going on like Stargate did. |

I get the feeling this is heading towards a browser based game, like Battlestar Galactica Online. I loved the Firefly Universe but its just not big or diverse enough to make an MMO out of IMHO Cluck Cluck, Gibber Gibber, My Old Mans A Mushroom |

Last I heard, this developer didn't even have permission to use the Firefly IP. What happened to that?
This whole thing sounds rather shady if you ask me. |

It's a fan fiction type thing. I'm not sure how the rules for that type of thing works, but I think they can set the game in that universe so long as they don't use any of the recognized characters from the series. Join the League For Gamers. |

One of the questions on the game survey (which is a great idea) asks if you would like ot see the original cast characters included in the game. "I am not in a server with Gankers...THEY ARE IN A SERVER WITH ME!!!" |

Originally posted by TruthXHurts Hell Yeah! But not as playable characters, as NPCs / companions / bosses or something. They should pop up fairly regularly. Like if you goto a planet, the Serentiy crew just happen to be sitting in the bar getting drunk...and invite you to join them on a mission/quest, or just have a chat.
