And yet another press release, this time concerning Earth & Beyond:
EARTH & BEYOND'S EPIC STORY TO UNFOLD THIS MONTH
All gamers can participate through the 5-day demo program
LAS VEGAS, NV (Jan. 23, 2003) - Starting this week, the Earth & Beyond galaxy will never be the same. A mysterious alien race is deploying around the galaxy. The warrior faction starts construction on a massive defense shield in preparation for war. The tradesmen begin building a new long-range stargate, in preparation of potential profitable trade agreements with the aliens. Most explorers are obsessed with the acquisition and decoding of more than 50 encoded data fragments.
All these developments are part this month's update of Earth & Beyond, the online role-playing game published by Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:ERTS) under the EA GAMES(tm) brand.
These historic galactic events can be experienced by all gamers, subscribers and non-subscribers, thanks to the Earth & Beyond 5-day demo program. The 1.2 GB demo can be downloaded from www.fileplanet.com/enb, www.gamespot.com/enb, www.fileshack.com, www.gigex.com and www.happypuppy.com .
Westwood will also mail the two-disc demo set to anyone in North America who fills out the online form at http://www.earthandbeyond.ea.com/home/market_demodisc.jsp. The two disc set will be mailed within three to six weeks, postage free. The offer is limited to one per person.
The demo disc is also on sale for $1.99 at participating Electronic Boutique and GameStop stores. Players should contact their local store for availability.
With this month's game update, Earth & Beyond's developing story officially starts, and players will see the galaxy change, and take on missions that uncover key plot details. Each month, new content and events will develop the story, a story of invasion, politics, greed, sacrifice and ultimately, the survival of the human race.
This month's game update includes 15 new missions, most of which deal with the ongoing story. Other enhancements in this week's update include:
- Improvements to the Cloaking, Environment Shield and Negotiate skills.
- Vanentine's Day content.
- Mission terminal improvements (issues new missions faster).
- Improvements to the in-game stores.
- Three level-50 promotion missions.
Players will be automatically updated with the new content the next time they log on to the game. For more details on the January content update, visit the game's official website at www.enb.com. Somehow I get the feeling that the MMORPG market is going to get really nasty this year. So many games, and you can play only so much... |
