mmorpg development the HR Giger way

[Saxif]

Been checking some of the new and upcoming games coming out over the next couple of years and came across Atriarch.  The devs have gone for some totally different (far out) character models in this one, its like something out of a HR Giger book, sounds promising, if it delivers, dunno if i could get used to thier brand of 'art' though ...

I've just been looking at an upcoming MMORPG with PvP called Dark and Light. Looks interesting, if not least because it will have collision detection between players, which could be very exciting if they can overcome the potential problems/abuses inherent in such a system. Due for Q4 2005 release apparently (so some time next year then).

Dark n Light, Darkfall, and Ages of Athiria are all up coming mmorpgs that look promising, i'll prolly toy with DNDO also (PvE only).  

I am tempted to take advantage of Shadowbanes free 15 day trial, the gfx look shitty but the game play sounds good.  I never tried it when it was released, but it could be a way to kill some time, assuming I can drag myself away from conquering europe in Rome:Total War.

Glad your enjoying Total War Sax.  Just to let you know no game Sunday night.

Now there's a good game. Not played it since I've had WoW installed though. Will have to put in a bit of practice and challenge you to a game Sax
