which looks fucking amazing, but again not an MMO
Been following that pretty closely. However, it's not even close to being released [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Update on perpetuum:

So seems the DL shut down but can be restarted and starts where it left off.

Initial thoughts are models and atmosphere is pretty pixely even at 1200p, but very cool designs and the customization is off the chain.

AI is pretty funny, but much like EQlive in that mobs seem to follow you long distances without resetting.

Community is very friendly. Puts p99 to shame believe it or not. People are very helpful and friendly but once you reach contested areas I have heard its every man (or team/corp) for themselves, as resources are very sought after in these areas. Game is very PvP centric (right up my alley).

Leveling is not in the traditional sense. You earn EP (some kind of attribute booster) for every minute of your mechs existence. You form your mech accordingly, choosing to favor certain attributes over others. I have been told there is a whole plethora of robots you can choose from, some favoring speed, range, close ranged, Parabola shooting (very important for LoS); but boosting one seems to sacrifice some of the other advantages.

Very interesting but very big learning curve. Will update yall a bit later when I sink my teeth in.

P.S. people who play this game are absolutely in love with it. Haven't seen this much enthusiasm since EQlive.

My pleasure

Btw, first 15 days are free and the monthly subscription fee thereafter is a mere $8.99. Seems reasonable but I am not fully convinced until I explore the mechanics further.

At least during the beta stages, Perpetuum was basically EVE Online with robots instead of spaceships. I'm not sure if it's changed since then but you train skills to equip better equipment but the get skills takes time not gameplay. You could effectively become really powerful but never play the game, you'd just be poor. Not sure how much it's changed at this point but if you've played EVE you've played Perpetuum.

exteel was a clickfest (it actually broke one of my mouses) with crappy servers. If don't have a decent ping you won't get any kills.

Greeting Starfighter, you have been recruited by the Starleague to defend the frontier against Zurr and the Codan armada.
