• • Seriously, take a good look at this game.

  • The devs just released a Newsletter stating that alpha was on time and beta would begin in august. Videos will be being released for Earthrise around beta time, and they've told us that there will be a lot of information comming out on the forums soon about crafting, so if you're interested sign up on the ER forums. MMORPG.com does a HORRIBLE job of keeping up with this game... theres been like 5 news releases since the "Newsletter 2" that this site has as the most recent news on the game. There's also been new concept art added showing some of the mobs and how they compare size-wise to humans. Right now it seams the devs are working on finishing some of the outer areas of the island and a city-ish area called The Nest.

    No offense Horizonz but be more careful with your wording.   You are talking as if you have played this game before and know everything.  People might think unlikely of you and just ignore you.  The game is not getting the proper attention it needs for many reasons.  Some believe it will come out on the dates it said.  Let alone it does not even have a gameplay video.  Also masthead is keeping a lot of stuff hidden. 

    I strongly believe once the actual beta date gets announce.  I am sure there will be a crowd of people that will pay attention.

    Yes I agree on you there are a few people that only see full loot or full pvp.  But that is just because a lot of people have not really read about it.  But you have done an excellent job on gathering all the information and putting it in one place. 

     

    Yeah, fixed my wording a bit. Masthead certainly thinks they can make the dates because they were asked in a recent house of commons if there were any plans to push back the beta/release, and they said no and that they were on schedule. I also wish they'd release a video, because like you mentioned, a lot of people don't think it'll come out until they see a video.

    I hope you're right about the beta date being released, I'd hate to see the game die because it just didn't have enough press. Thanks for the compliment with the info, but that isn't anywhere near all of it! Just some of the more commonly asked stuff. :)

  • You were all right, I haven't played the game, it's still in development. I just got ahead of myself because I'm a little frustrated at how uninterested a lot of people seam to be in Earthrise just because they see the whole Full PVP/Full Looting deal. Sorry if people misunderstood.

    I've ready pretty much every press release and post in their forums, even contacted Masthead (the game dev firm) for some info that people didn't know. I'm simply trying to explain that as long as Masthead is able to deliver on everything, and they certainly seam to think they can, this game will be unimaginably good. I have faith in Masthead, and I believe they can do it. If you look at some of the most successful MMOs out there, EVE and Anarchy Online for example, they started with small indy dev teams trying to do something new, and that's what I see in Masthead right now.

    I'll reword my original post to reflect what I meant.

  • Disclaimer: The following is my opinion!

    Everyone sees "full loot!" and "full pvp!" and they think "omg, that game's gunna be anarchy!!! Who could possibly progress in a game like that?? and they run away from the game without even giving it a decent look. What they don't realize is that this game has carefully balanced mechanics planned to help counter the full looting and full pvp. Everything in this game will be truly revolutionary, we're seeing the rise of a whole new generation of MMOs coming into play here. The planned crafting system in this game is the best I've ever seen, the pvp in this game is actually going to be exhilerating, everything about this game just screams that it deserves more attention than it's getting. I'm sure you've all heard of Tabula Rasa and Entropia Universe... this game will be the next step forward.

     

    I created a thread on the official Earthrise forums that helps to answer the questions that people have about the game. If my shameless flaunting of the game has you interested, you can check out the thread (which contains screenshots, concept art, music, and information) here.

     

    Edit: I guess people thought it sounded like I'd actually played the game, so I changed a few words to fix that. :P
