Steel Law Online
   

Yes, it's a pimp post from a brand new user. But please, hear me out. Steel law online is a good game, currently in beta and so completely free, but like many player driven games it suffers from a lack of players. I'm not one of the devs, but I do support them, they're only indie guys, but they have shown they can make good stuff.

One thing that tends to happen is that people get interested, sign up, and then leave because a) the training is terrible, b) there don't seem to be many people around. Please, if you do decide to visit, give it a second chance if you get puzzled by the training (frankly I'd advise you to just skip it) and if there's no one around, try coming back at another time, there are a fair few active people, who are all friendly and helpful.

And here's what the devs have to say about their game:

quote:
What is Steel Law Online?
Steel Law Online is a hybrid massively multiplayer online game - part roleplaying game, part strategy game and part conspiracy game. In the world you assume the roles of cops, assassins, spies, corporate slime and others on a gigantic city-sized spaceship in a far future time and place where adventure, conspiracy and betrayal is never far away. It is a world which you can really affect with your actions, but it is also a world where the consequences of your actions may come back to bite you.


Involving Game Play:
Steel Law Online is a game about conspiracies, subterfuge, power struggles and empire building. It is a world built on power and risk, which you affect with your actions, but it is also a world where the consequences of your actions may come back to bite you.


What You Do:
Battle ancient alien menaces, join cults, research new technology, trade, lead organisations, reactivate the massive spaceship, conquer territory, plot and carry out a wide range of player-versus-player missions, infiltrate the enemy organisations, acquire wealth, power and control.


The Personal Touch:
Steel Law Online is a game about our players and their actions. Our players will be valued members of the crew on-board the Charon CityShip. To help fulfil this aim we will actively be involving the players in the decisions that affect the world as a whole.


Player Driven Missions:
With its Player Driven Mission System, our players are placed very much at the centre of the action. Their actions are centre of the action. They will get to decide which paths the giant spaceship takes, which worlds it visits and ultimately its very fate.


Player Controlled Monsters:
Feel like a break from the conspiracies? Log in as a monster for a bit of mindless entertainment as you deal out crunchy death to your shipmates.


Games For Busy People:
Steel Law Online is a game by adults for adults (over 18's only). Steel Law Online is for those players who want to get involved in online games but can't afford to spend hours online every day.


Multi-Platform Gaming:
Steel Law Online is built in Sun's Java and Java Webstart, which means it is multi-platform, running on Windows, OS X and Linux (and any other operating system that supports Java).


Ease of Access:
Steel Law Online has advanced game play integration with the website making much of the gameplay available to players from any web browser so they can play it at home, at work or wherever they happen to be!


History of Steel Law Online
Steel Law Online is based on the Steel Law tabletop roleplaying game, stories and more created over the last 18 year period. It deals with adult issues in ways that are both exciting, but also involving. Issues such as the triad of truth versus power, power versus risk, risk versus the truth - where black and white judgements conflict with a reality where everything is subjective. Mankind (and its myriad progeny) face tough times - but where there is great danger there is great hope.


About the Development Team
Red Redemption, the award winning* development team behind Steel Law Online is a small team with a core of multi-talented and very hard working people. We are not backed by any big publishers, distributors or other corporations - Steel Law Online is entirely self-financed. However what we lack in big corporate funds we make up for in our focus in trying to make games that are genuinely fun to play and which draw you in and make you feel part of the universe, rather than just a bystander.
