Recently, during my trip to Rapid Reality's HQ in Atlanta, I saw Africa, The Chronicle and Endless Ages. The later was a surprise. The company has embarked on a project to rebuild and relaunch this aging MMOFPS. Here's what we found out:
;) When they examined the game that had fallen into their lap, they discovered a wealth of content most subscribers didn’t even know was there. It became clear to them that the issue was not a lack of content, but that what did exist was near impossible to fully explore. They also identified outdated graphics, interface and other issues as keys to holding the game back.
And so begins Rapid Reality’s mission to re-educate the public on Endless Ages in the hope that people will give it a second chance. It’s a tall order and they admit the game will probably never morph into a massive hit, but they do deserve credit for fixing up an existing title they’d never really planned to acquire. First they showed me the graphics. In Endless Ages, players play as either a human, either male or female; a blobic, a large and slimy character; or an amphibian, aka a frog man. They remodeled all four options fully. The new look is solid. They have a cartoon feel, they move well and. In short, they’re more than acceptable and a mile better than they were before. |
