Masthead Studios, a Bulgaria based development studio, has announced Earth-rise, a post-apocalyptic MMO based in Earth's future after humanity is nearly wiped out by a world war.
January 23, 2008 – Sofia, Bulgaria – Masthead Studios, the innovative independent game development studio based in Bulgaria, is proud to announce its debut MMO Earth-rise, a post-apocalyptic science fiction title slated to release in 2009.
In the aftermath of a catastrophic third world war, Earth lies in ruin, and mankind is all but extinct. In a small corner of the world a new society has risen in the years following, populated mostly by the clones of those stored in a massive DNA database compiled at the end of the war. A corporate government has created a seemingly Utopian civilization, but its heavy-handed control over society, its resources, and even life itself has forced a substantial opposition. These rival factions accuse the government of crimes against humanity in its rampant willingness to abuse the cloning process to its own gain. It is at this crossroads that players will find themselves: fight as a champion of the new world order, or take up arms with Noir, the shadow government sworn to overthrow the totalitarian rule.
Masthead has employed its own engine to craft the stunning graphics and atmosphere in the game, as well as to handle its dynamic combat mechanics. Explore the diverse and sprawling capital city of Sal Vitas and surrounding unclaimed territories. Fight with advanced PvP mechanics featuring customizable power armor, huge mechanized exoskeletons, and an arsenal of weapons to control contested lands and their resources. Influence the market-based economy by working for the corporate world or trading on the black market, all based in immense and highly customized crafting and offline play systems. Players will shape the society in the beginning of a new mankind; or they will create their own dystopia.

Sounds cool....cant wait to see how it turns out.
Yawn. Old news, we've been talking about this game all day
Sounds like an exciting game though.

Just wondering, are you guys (mmorpg.com that is) going to add this to your games list? It already meets all of the requirements.
Im a bit cynical after the STO thing, but I hope it works out. I'd really like to have a good scifi game to play. GL to them.
A Sci-Fi game, with no classes or levels, in-depth crafting and a player run economy. Maybe this will finally be a home for some of the disgruntled SWG vets. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it isn't another disappointment like TR.

Gonna have to watch this one looks kinda cool...time will tell

Bulgaria eh?
They make top notch spyware/adware/viruses there.... lets see how they do with MMORPG's.
I bet the client will bundle all those things together
.
Looks awesome, can't wait for the game
Btw. did you know that Earthrise is one word, not Earth-rise?
Player run economy. ugh. Not that that aint great and all, I just think that will mean million dollar(credit, infamy, etc) armored boots, gloves, toothpicks, just like SWG. All I ask is they have npc vendors to kind of set the tone for what things cost.
Amazing.
Yet another Studio announcing a MMORPG release date with zip-all in hand.
Either going to be another nock-off MMO, or will be seen in 2012, if ever.

Okay.... Sci-Fi without a space based component is just a Future Fantasy Shooter. Technology instead of magic, lasers instead of bows and powered armor instead of chainmail. Get our butts in space and let us have the opportunity fly amoung the stars and you will have created a Sci-Fi game until them this is just another Fantasy game with different skins. We have this type of game in abundance already.
Jumpgate Evolution may be the answer. We shall see.
