"Fans of space-themed MMOs will be heading into Earthrise with the game's official release today."
I havent followed much of ER's development, but I thought you are on Earth or some similar single planet? No space stuff right? Just curious if I missed something huge
Wanted to play this, but in the UK it is the most expensive PC game released in the last decade. If Activision doesn't think people will pay more than £40 for Call of Duty, then why do Masthead think anyone would pay £43 for this?
This will be fun to follow, as people in the beta can atest the thing is seriously non-working. This may be a new level of epic-fail launch!
I can't say i've read too much, but there are alien looking creatures all over. If it is earth it is far in the future or they have some other explanation for dramtic mutations.
"Never met a pack of humans that were any different. Look at the idiots that get elected every couple of years. You really consider those guys more mature than us? The only difference between us and them is, when they gank some noobs and take their stuff, the noobs actually die." - Madimorga
Does this mean its hitting D2D today? Currently not there on the UK or US store. Any idea which other digital distributers will have it - Steam or Impulse?
You can buy it directly from Masthead's website.
Bobfish, you can get the box much cheaper if you shop around. There are several threads which point the way.
Kuinn, they aren't native english speakers. It is sci-fi themed, not space themed
Now if they'd just launch the game already...
Is there going to be any trial? I'm quite desperate for some MMO at the moment
Or any suggestions for poor player with nothing to play? Good graphics is a plus

you actually mean, i will not spend my money on a game that is releasing in a broken state and is a mess. 6 months to a year is about the time they should of been releasing, not today. The game needs atleast that long to cook to be actually playable.

Not at all. I prefer coming into a sandbox game after the alliance power blocks are set, once the initial wars settle and rivalries are realized. In a sandbox games the people make a world feel alive. If everyone is scrambling to find a place it just doesn't feel natural to me. I wanna join a world that feels lived in, not the wild west were territory is flipping back and forth every few hours.Playing: Rift, LotRO

DCU is hardly mentioned? I feel I saw much more articles for DCU than Rift, specially since it is released and Rift is no.

By The community. I wasn't speaking of official mmorpg.com coverage. Look at the forums, no one cares about DCUO.Playing: Rift, LotRO

I know but it's an absolute rip off. Can't help but think other Digital Retailers will keep the price standard. There's no way I'm buying it at £43 - £13 higher than almost every standard PC game here in the UK.
This game is gonna make Mortal Online look good. lol.
Have you heard of this thing called 'google'.
Bought mine from gamegears.co.uk, £25.99.
Alas, secretly i have to tell you, how right you are.
I will rather fight bugs, than be manipulated and brainwashed by themepark:) you can put this blue silk pant my lord, cuz it belongs only to wizards!! hahahaa
Let the whine begin!
Same here, but it is an above premium price for a below premium game. Maybe in a year or two it'll be worth it.
Thats a good thing because the state that this game is in you'll be fighting bugs, lag, rubberbands, glitches, gaps and fail and thats after you spend 30 mintues fighting the log in monster so that you can spend hours accomplishing nothing because the game is a year away from being ready to launch.
Gaming since Avalon Hill was making board games.
Played SWG, EVE, Fallen Earth, LOTRO, Rift, Vanguard, WoW, SWTOR, TSW, Tera
Tried Aoc, Aion, EQII, RoM, Vindictus, Darkfail, DDO, GW, PotBS
There was never a "log in monster". I have no idea what you mean by that. And the bugs and glitches are mostly annoying. Performance issues have apparently been improved according to those have made it in game.
I predict this will be one of the top 5 worst MMO launches ever.
Actually, it's quite a good launch. The game is running smooth and the servers are stable!
