Do you have a link to another source of info? HR is up there with RU and TK on the Big Scary List.

I just heard of it lastnight from a gamer on youtube the video on there website just makes it look nice. Just a rumor at this point tho.

Edit: FAQ blog

It looks promising although maybe overly ambitious.

This game reminds me of a joke from Jerry Seinfeld:

"I mean the whole reason you watch a TV show is because it ends. If I want a long, boring story with no point to it, I have my life."

I'm sure this same mentality is applicable to gaming, somehow :P

 Okay Sheldon Cooper

They talk about that in the FAQ blog. They said there biggest problem will be with the number of players and not the world size.

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, and finally, Yes! This is my dream game.

So in otherwords this is SPORE the MMORPG.

Been tried before (at least as a SPG) and it failed... hard.

In Spore you started as a simple cell, then you developed into a creature, then your creatures would form a tribe, then tribes would form a civilization, then your civilization would develop the tech where you could leave your home planet and explore space.

Now make it MMO

And there you have it - universe online....

Good luck :)
