I am *excited* about this. The art style looks great from the few pics that are up, and I trust you guys completely to bring your style of gameplay to a 3D world.

I will be thrilled to watch this develop and come to fruition, and can’t wait to try it. Bravo!

I’m looking forward to this really. I have played alot of a MMORPGs(graphics) and I really don’t like them, though it is more to deal with lack of In Character Roleplay– even on the RP Servers. -_-

I hope EE has similar elements to that of Aetolia and Lusternia when it comes to player ran cities and such(though I suppose that be hard to do?), along with how the players can actually alter the way the enviroment changes.

I played on Achaea once, I stopped playing due to lack of RP enforcement, went to Aetolia and have several characters there and one on Lusternia. So, I wish best to luck to EE and ya’lls push in the game. Hopeing this doesn’t turn into another MMO Graphic game with non-roleplayers and a bunch of 12 year olds. Though I suppose if enough of the Roleplayers support it and push on it; It can become that(right?).

I signed up on the Newsletter, so when ever ya’ll get the Alpha and Beta ready, I’m on stand by. Love to be help on the growing of this game and maybe give some helpful advice(if ya’ll want it), maybe even a few freebie character designs(yay for being a Game Art student).

Anyhow, enough of my jabber. Good luck Matt, it looks fun, great, and lets all hope it turns into another wonderful IRE Game. ^^

I mean HERMES is a busboy of the gods.

MiniWuffy, I know.
Ares is a busboy of the gods.
To the developers: If it had a rating
(T, E, or (gods forbid) M), what would it have?

-So, just to clarify, Ares is a pansy too right?

-Wouldn’t the Norse gods totally pwn some Sphinxes?

-Aw, Zeus is dead? :’(

-Rhyke, it’s a graphical MUD

Game looks wicked, Matt!

I am really impressed with this work.
I tried the WoW 10-day trial, and, while it was enjoyable, the heavy graphics and cost to play sent me packing.
I spend half my time at my father’s house, and half with my mother.
Paying on a month-to-month basis only lets me get half my time.
I really, really want to play this.
But I’m running an iBook.
Will Macs be able to run EE out of a browser?
I hope so, or I might be turned away.
This is gonna have a large furry fanbase, so you found your niche. I was also getting tired of the old elf, dwarf, human, big-green-thing setup, so having these races is just plain amazing (Go Atavians!).
I think it may be wise to introduce perhaps one or two more classes, including an ally-summoning class, remeniscent (sp?) of WoW Warlocks.
Will Groves be given to free players?
That would be very, very awesome.
Bringing in some mannerof player-based economy would be great, because that’s the excuse many people my age use to play MMORPGs.
About the |337-sp34k, there is a rather drastic action you could take…
Certain NPCs could respond with, “Sorry, friend, I do not understand this language”. And players who like to act in-character could, of course, scold them.
This is a very long comment, I know, but I am feeling like I have finally found my MMO.
Will control be RS or WoW style?
Oh, and please provide public transportation, like WoW had. That, too, would be amazing.

-Hoping this is as good as it sounds,
Rhyke

1. Broadband is probably a necessity, though you may be able to play if you download the whole game ahead of time. Dial-up won’t be able to handle the game streaming down to you while you play.

2. We’re not far enough along to worry about where alpha and beta testers will come from, aside from the newsletter membership.

3. Endie: We use the Ogre engine as our graphics engine, and purchased an exporter for use with Max and Ogre, but other than that, we’re writing essentially everything ourselves.

And yes, Hermes is dead. Slain by the Sphinxes like the rest of his pansy brothers, aside from Ares.

Could you at least make it a bit more in-character for the poor bastard, then? I like to picture his fate as fleeing the initial Sphinx attack and heading for Asgard to warn everyone, but then being distracted hitting on Freyja and ending up forgetting about the message and getting everyone killed. Heh.

So far, it sounds really good, and I will definitely be trying it out ASAP, but I will be very, very, very put off if there isn’t at the very least enforced ICness on at least one server. (if you have different servers) I don’t want to see an IRE game degraded to LOLZ GIMME UR GP PLZ OR I WIL KILL U WITH 1337 SKILZ LMAO.

Ah, but the kids with l33t skillz tend to pay the bills, my friend. I’d hate to see a large portion of the game’s potential playerbase turned away at the door just because they’d prefer to chat about real-life topics as they play instead of whatever it is that Foxicuses… Foxuci… uh, Foxi eat for dinner.

That said, I find myself somewhat keen on the idea of playing a mute Bandicoon Sneak with a penchant for knocking over the garbage cans in front of other people’s Groves and then running away, so perhaps I shouldn’t talk.

Congratulations on this, Matt. I’m impressed with the development model you’re working to, here, which seems to let you take some risks that a $20m budget would preclude. Since you’re not using middleware like Multiverse, I’m really intrigued to what extent you did buy-in basic components and libs?
