Ever Jane: The Virtual World of Jane Austen

A new KickStarter project has crossed the news desk here at MMORPG.com that is worthy of attention for being something so different in the MMO-space that it deserves notice. Called "Ever Jane: The Virtual World of Jan Austen", the game centers, not around combat, but around building characters in a world of words, social interaction and more.

Ever, Jane is a virtual world that allows people to role-play in Regency Period England. Similar to traditional role playing games, we advance our character through experience, but that is where the similarities end. Ever, Jane is about playing the actual character in the game, building stories.  Our quests are derived from player's actions and stories. And  we gossip rather than swords and magic to demolish our enemies and aid our friends.  

Try to win the sympathy of Lizzie Bennet by telling lies about your rival, as Mr. Wickham does, but be careful.  The system will notify someone if they are being talked about too often and a good sleuth may find the player who is spreading such rumors.  If you are caught in your lies, the consequences you intended for your target will hit you two-fold.
