My only issue with whats happening here...its been what..one year since shutdown?

I played this right before it went down.  I sat there and i ignored the lack of other players, the client stability, rubberbanding and desync issues, all the bugs i encounters..the water texture that looked like low rez paint....whatever....i tried to focus on how the game plays ect.

I really found that the combat was incredibly boring, the weapons were stale, had no feeling, no life about them. Mob fights were boring as well, though challanging given everything was hard to hit since the mob drawn was never where the mob actually was.

Had a great world look, unique music that ranged from over the top deathmetal to techno.  Added a unique flair to the game.

What makes me nervous...yeah they are going to beta soon ....but what excatly has been done, what has changed?  If they simply fixed stability and sync issues....great....the game is still going to be dry and boring.  If they put in a proper combat system, and fixed the playability issues...we might have something fantastic here.

MastHead studios still lists Earthrise as their game. The domain registration information hasn't changed much since 2007 so I would guess that the new company is at the very least very chummy with MastHead. They did update the information today, but Daniel Schemann is the registrar for both the old and the new sites...I would guess nothing has really changed. They might be developing things on their own time or something, but it doesn't really seem like a new company.

Which is sad, because MastHead did a horrible job. A new company is about the only way this game is going to turn into something worthwhile.

The idea of the game is still a good one. Maybe this time they'll listen to their alpha/beta testers :p

[mod edit]

so they got rid of full loot and the company that is suppose to be turning this game around is possibly just an extension of the company that did so well the first time around.

Great to hear.  Why cant a normal, well run company make a damn full loot sandbox for once...

i was excited to see earthrise on the map again as i liked the concept,

so i tryed to get my forum account back from the support team at the new company, they can see my account but are unable to unlock it :P  

so... if they cant run a forum i dont hold much hope for an mmo.

it tanked the first time and the game appeal was that its full loot and now they remove that then its just another mmo same old stuff just with a crap engine

if they get this working i will eat my words :)

to bad the account creation screen is bugged. I tried to sign up and there is no capta to enter and it says you did not enter it. I tried both chrome and IE and it is not there.

So until they fix that I don't think they will get many signups.

Sorry for that, we just noticed, that Google not automatically had SSL url. The account creation should work now.

Any possible way you could address any of the rumors floating around here?

I notice the SF logo so im assuming your with the company who is working on the game now.

Are you guys in any way affiliated with masthead?  Also whats your vision for the game as you intend to launch it.  Are we getting a workable and playable Earthrise as we remember, or are you doing some major overhauls to the mechanics?
