I have spent the last couple of hours reading and posting on the Earthrise forums about this upcoming game. Earthrise is a post-apocalyptic MMORPG estimated to be released in 2009. This game looks promising, it is certainly going to have a lot of PvP and a new PvP looting system. I have been a longstanding fan of open world non-consensual PvP, there is nothing funner in an MMORPG to me, than a fight that you cannot predict nor expect, it takes more skill to fight unprepared in the open than it does in a fixed battle. I added some high res screen shots from the Earthrise website, as you can see the game looks great, so its a good thing I will have a new desktop to run this game by 2009. Here is a brief overview of the game:
“In the aftermath of the Third World War, mankind has managed to survive and build a new society: the prosperous city of Sal Vitas. Cloning, nanotechnology and quantum engineering are part of a new reality. Thanks to these technological advances, the human species has become immortal; each individual’s consciousness is stored in a data vault, ready to be uploaded into a cloned body as necessary. New energy sources have been discovered. There is a unified government that takes good care of those citizens who abide by its strict laws. Paradise, it appears, might really have come to Earth, and the people have embraced it.”
Sounds promising, and the dev team for this game seem like they are on the ball with things, so hopefully this game will prove to be as good as it looks now, we will have to wait. I’ll keep you updated on future Earthrise updates, and you can visit their website @ Earthrise, feel free to join their forums and begin discussing the future of this game.
