This is an MMORPG that, I feel, kinda plays/feels like NC from the FPS point of view, but the world itself is HUGE. Many similar items (Storage Cell/Goguardian, Teleport/GenRep) but the content for this still-under-development game is incredible. A zillion types of mobs, ranging in ages/types (young, mature, old, provider, guardian) and even a difference in genders. Each mob drops a skin/fur of it's own, unless of course you kill the robots/droids also on the planet (which pwn n00bs so I really don't know what they drop :p ).
Unfortunately there are a crapload of people playing the game so the servers, which I don't think are state-of-the-art choke sometimes. Also, many of the items in the landscapes are just images, not solid, meaning you can walk thru the trees in a forest. Kinda sucks, but otherwise the world is like 4-5 times the size of NC with terrains and vegetation you wouldn't even imagine.
The play on PE is based on this premise: The game itself is free (download), there is no subscription fee, however, you can "deposit" some real money for in-game money. That's where they get you since nobody in-game will just hand you some credits like in any other game (understandably, it would be like walking up to a stranger and giving him REAL money). $10 USD will get you like $100 in-game. Mobs drop random amounts of money, 95% of the time, just a few cents and some hides, but once in awhile, someone hits the jackpot. Saw a guy get 1880 PEDs off a mob. That's $1,880 in game, the equivalent of buyin $188 USD of in-game credits 8|
Anywho, wanted to know if anyone had played this game in the past/present and wanted to see how ppl saw this game in contrast to NC, a similar genre game.
