This game sounds absolutely intriging. i didn't find out about it until reading the news alert in my email.

It sounds similar to a really early MMO that a friend of mine played, perhaps as early as 98 but i can't rightly remember.  It was around the time that Ultima Online was big.  In this other version of the space epic you got dumped randomly throughout the univerise at the start when u logged in (similar size universe to EVE).  Then you had to build up from scratch and eventually build a space station (once you'd reached space technology) which could then build you transport ships (to colonise other planets in your solor system), ships with hyperdrive (to get to other soloarsystems) and warships (yes, to attack other peoples systems, this whole game was PvP).  I originally thought EVE would be something akin to this but was dissapointed to find out it wasn't really. 

Galaxylife sounds intriging and closer to what i was hoping for, the casual gamers are not really catered for properly as yet due to the casual market being expected as a lower income then serious gaming, however i believe that we (casual gamers who were once serious gamers) may be infact the majority.  Especially in the near future once the market is flooded with MMO's, consoles and lots of pointless hack and slash and FPS games.  Once this age of gaming has come to a close i believe that casual and less stressful games such as galaxylife may take over and become very, very, very popular.

Good luck to the creators and please listen to what the people want (im sure you already are by the sound of it).

cheers,

Matt

i dont think so.  i havn't really heard about anyone complaining about URU live yet?  anyway, these sim type and adventure type MMO's are still semi RPG in a fasion.  Remember RPG means "role playing game" which means you take a ROLE.  So taking the role as the creator of this solar system or whatever you want to call it is still role playing in a fashion.  there dosn't have to be leveling and spells and grinding.
