excerpt from article:
"Since characters will be permanently erased from the server when they die, the idea of free-for-all PvP is unsettling, to say the least. Seatribe hopes to foster a cooperative community, but there will always be a division of the player population that desires nothing more than a good gankfest. With this in mind, the devs have implemented a search-and-destroy mechanic that allows players to avenge the death of others by following a “scent” left by the evildoer. Anyone who happens upon this scent will interpret it as a token and those with a sufficient tracking skill will be able to follow a visible trail to the perpetrator’s current location. If said suspect is offline at the time the tracking occurs, their avatar can be systematically summoned and executed. How’s that for a good night’s sleep?"

*shameless bump*
If you like WURM Online, A Tale in the Desert, or Ultima Online, this game could be in your future. There's an interview video at the bottom of the article that sums it up pretty well.
Finally a sandbox that actually has tools to model some form of law & order. Its about damn time!
I'm pretty sure scents where done quite a while ago..
Haven & hearth?
Then again i did read somewhere that the guy who made H&H was working on Salem?
Might be completely wrong there, if so i apologise.
Salem sounds awesome. Haven and Hearth would have been good, but the servers crash all the time, and the controls suck. I often got stuck inside trees, fences and stuff and couldn't move. Or my character wouldn't do what I wanted him to. Plus HaH has resets, so after working months and months on something to have it erased, is kinda lame. Not to mention HORRIBLE lag.
If Salem is more like Wurm, then I'm sold.

Yes, both games are from the same developer - 'Seatribe'.
Anyone played Dreamlords? I'm downloading the Beta setup right now so I figured I'd ask to see if it's any good.

How did you get an invite?
One of the numerous sites I'm registered on (I'll have to check my mail) sent me a beta invite.
