A preview of Earth And Beyond, Westwood's upcoming space MMORPG, can be found at GameZone today. If you are into futuristic MMORPGs, this one could be for you. Here's a snippet:
here are three races central to the storyline: The Jenquai are scientist-monks, descendants of humans, who live on the moons of Jupiter; the Progen are genetically altered humans, also transplants, and a warrior race whose homeworld is Mars; and the Terrans, Earth humans, who can fight and live a merchant’s life.
You can pick your race, customize your avatar and ship, then head out to pick up quests and missions.
Not only is this game space-based, but if you dock at a space station, you can exit your ship and wander about the station. Other pilots will be there, each with a name displayed above their heads, and you can carry on typed-chat conversations. You will also be able to pick up missions. |
