I've played this game for a while now and what can i say... not too shabby, infact good fun if i do say so myself. The workmanship is quality and with more or less daily updates you can't go wrong. The community is quite friendly, they are willing to help if you get stuck (which will happen) there are many worlds (colonies) that can be taken over by factions at war, corporate takeovers etc. You have a choice of 8 factions (GD forces which are the police and military, the clans and corporations) they are all very different and so it is up to the one that suits you best.
The game has a intresting economy system, every faction has their own cycle and members of these factions create missions to earn money from the faction. The faction earns money from taxes and money transfers (tax levels can be set). Each faction has 7 ranks but this is NOT a leveling system, ranks 1 to 3 are earnt from Experience Points (from missions) after this it is up to your superiors to promote you as required, you EARN the rank you don't gain it from killing monsters and elves like in most MMO's.
All the equipment ingame is produced by players although i do NOT recommend you choose to trade at first, it can be quite complex and you will be better off learning about the game first... it has quite a steep learning curve but don't let that put you off. Many factions have training and/or help at hand to answer any questions you may have, when you first start you may die a lot and as i said don't be put off from it, you will learn from it. I cannot stress enough that as soon as you leave your apartment you should by clone insurance from a medical terminal, this will let you have unlimited clones for when you die (you start with 3 clones but insurance is paid monthly ingame and gives you unlimited clones) note that the ingame time is 4 times faster than real life.
Overall this game is very good, very player based... you make it what it is. If you are a true roleplayer and sick of all the other (same) MMO's, try this one
Originally posted by Tryon I’ve done beta testing before in the past. I’ve beta’s games like The Matrix: Online, Axis and Allies RTS, Horizons Online and Planetside. I’ve done beta testing for Atari and currently have 66 testing points (the highest to date is 132 points). I’ve studied programming in college, designed my own board and role-playing games and I consider myself an avid gamer. I’m willing to try any game once, give it more credit than it’s due and look for ways to improve any gaming experience.
My only suggestion to the developers of Face of Mankind is to stop now before you release this atrocity onto the world. The open beta is bad enough, don’t pull the same stunt that the developers of Horizons did and push a steaming pile of crap out on the public.
What makes this game so bad? Let me count the ways:
Graphics There’s no reason for the graphics in FoM to look this bad. Half-Life 1 had better character models and graphics than FoM. It’s as if the developers grabbed an alien from another planet that doesn’t understand the human body, gave him a computer and tried to describe how to render and animate the characters. Movement is unrealistic and jerky with characters twitching at the slightest movement.
There are TONS of mods out for various FPS games with graphics, models and in game animations that make FoM look like a sad joke. The mods I’m talking about were made by developers that weren’t getting paid for their time and work, that weren’t expecting to even get a “Thank you” from the folks that played their games. They did some outstanding graphics just for the love of the game. If the developers have come up with what they’ve got while actually being paid for their work, then someone is getting ripped off.
Game play Generally, when someone sits down to play a game, they expect to have some fun. They expect to be introduced to a new world where the rules and laws of everyday life don’t apply. Basically, they expect to be entertained. After five hours of continuous playing, you know what I achieved? I was able to do some mining. Wait, that’s misleading. I was able to tell a terminal to do some mining for me. During five hours of game play, not a damn thing happened. There were no missions for me to run, there were no intuitive aspects of the game for new players to work with.
Other players run everything in the game. Missions are set up by other players, all purchasable items are made by other players, the economy is run by other players. What this means to starting gamers is that, unless there’s someone online to custom tailor a mission for that player, there’s very little for a first time gamer to do. With nothing to do comes a sense of boredom and the game turns into nothing other than a “running simulator” as players go from one place to another with no point or purpose.
Economy I’ve played other games where the players solely ran the economy. In one game with a player run economy, there were no inherent money-sinks to pull excess cash out of the game. Because of this, money built up in the accounts of players. Soon, everyone had a million credits, then ten million, and then fifty million. Inflation was rampant to where new players had to rely on older players just to be able to afford basic equipment.
Another game that had the economy based on the actions of the players didn’t fare much better. Instead of everyone having all the money, a small select group of players had 90% of the money in the game. Those players ran around the game with impunity because they controlled the economy. They could buy what they wanted, when they wanted, and no one could stop them. Until the developers put in a better economic system, those players controlled the game and thus, the enjoyment of other players.
FoM is destined for one of these outcomes because there is no inherent control of the economy. Slowly but surely, the economy will break down and either everyone will be rich or only a small part of the population will have the funs in game to enjoy themselves.
Crafting What’s there to say about crafting? Everything (yes, I mean everything) is completely controlled by terminals. If you want to mine, you run up to a terminal, tell it what to mine from the available resources listed and wait. If you want to refine raw materials, you run up to a terminal, tell it what to make from available raw materials and wait. If you want to produce specific items, well, I don’t know. I never got that far. But I bet it involves running up to a terminal and telling it what to make from processed materials and then waiting.
Basically, crafting isn’t crafting. It’s telling the game system to make something from nothing. There’s no skill, ingenuity, or even effort involved in crafting. It’s all handed to you in a nice, futuristic wrapped terminal. Whee! Now that’s entertainment!
Basically, this game offers nothing new. A MMOFPS? Yep, that’s been done before. Crafting? Nothing new there (or even interesting). Combat? Dunno, never got to see any, but based on the way my character moved and the paltry list of missions available, it’s probably not much better than stubbing your toe on the dresser in the dark. Overall, this game isn’t new, it isn’t impressive and by the time the average gamer has played for a little while, they’re bored and wanting to do something fun.
Now, there are a few people here that will say this game is great! It’s fantastic! It’s the best thing since sliced bread! To those people, I have to say, “Get real.” With sub-par graphics, a clumsy interface, boring game play and practically non-existent crafting, how can you say this game is great? Those people that do honestly believe that FoM is the best MMORPG/FSP in the world need to go out, buy a top rated MMORPG and try playing that. I’m sure that once the fanboys see even a mediocre game in action, they’ll realize just how inferior FoM really is.
This is the worest serving of MMORPG i've played. Sorry I dont like paying money to walk around. Btw I did ask people to create missions but I dunno, maybe they were ignoring me are noone was on. After the third fraction with no missions yea I quit.
i played the beta for this. i was on maybe 4-5 hours and i never logged on again. absolutely atrocious POS. im surprised they dare have the nerve to releaser such a game.

Dude your talking about the old FoM, now the grahipcs are better everyone has around 200 000uc not 50mil uc.
The Game has changed so i can just say to you try the game, and You have tryed the wrong games to write something about FoM, FoM is all about roleplaying and it's fun, i was a BoS (brotherhood of the shadows) and they rp so much!
When you attack DMC when your bored you ain't RPing.
That is why I turreted Kami and KoSed BoS for a day.
Your the guy I killed in Manhattan for messing with LED.
Anyway yes this isn't FPS shoot shoot shoot I am 1337zor ganker. You need a mind to play this, although many try to get by without thinking and kill people.
If there ain't a mission o well sometimes`people are busy. game isn't about some r1 noob that wants to be leet. Wait till we have time and are not in the middle of fighting a raid. Btw I am willing to help as I am in charge of training for LED.

To bad some noobs can't udnerstand that (LED).
Im sorry to say so but LED consist of wonderful people that are dedicated to make FoM world to a safe place..BoS ruins it with destruction and ruthless ganking.Ive been playing this game for a year and the description you made upseted me since that is not true.
I have to disagree... all factions have nice people, but each faction has its own RP.. the Brotherhood has sperated itself from teh Global dominion and the global dominion declaired war on it because they practicly stole GD teritory, the colonies.
Howerver every faction has thier not so nice people. People who insult you because you have a squeeky voice or becasue your inexprienced... the latest insult flying around is 06er which is compleatly bias... some of the best people in the game i know are 06ers, but the arrigant 05 beta testers((im one of those but i am all for new people)) couldent give a crap. They dont realise that its the 06ers that are the ones making the game large. Which is what they moan and complain about on teh FoM forums that the game has to small a comunity.
How the hell are you ment to get more people if you scare them off wiht insults about thier join date?
If you are a good sport in MMO's and are entitled to your own opinion, at least not make it a ybg sort of approach in explaining the poor qualities of FoM, regarding your perspective and point of view.
At least ranting in these forums is good enough, explaining the poor qualities of FoM is not a wrongdoing, but still it would be considered a constructive post of explaining the poor details in a good approach, but not in a fit of rage, taking away the encouragement of the customers.
If you do not like this sort of a unique MMO, then you may just be entitled to your opinion for yourself and leave, not ruin it for others.
I spent a whole day running around.. found some terminals... everything was in stupid places... its like you'd design a house with a bathroom in the basement and a garage in the loft.. thats how the whole experience feels.
Some parts of the bases feels like you're trapped in one of those vertigo paintings.. the ones where the stairs are upside down...you run for ages and suddenly find if you'd gone left instead you'd be right where you are now. And you've not seen a single sign or passage that went anywhere.
I don't understand how this game got 7.8 rating. If it was 2.2 i could understand...
Life is about Living, Sleep is about Dreaming, Games are about Strategy!

This is becouse you did not had the deathstar implents...man...it took me month to know all the maps out of my head and you complain that you could not find your way around?

So you think this game deserves a 2.2 rating because you suck at navigating? Nice review of the game.

Please, the irony is too much....people playing the game for about an hour or so, or take a day or two and complement that this is a low ranking game....when they haven't even experienced much of the game, thus complaining about the navigation that they lack themselves....? How is this not a surprise?
So the game is toward a low standpoint, JUST because of your lack of navigation or the difficulty which makes it irritating? Psshh....
Please friend, this is a whole new world open to you. You expect you to find yourself and get familiarized with the whole interface in just one day or two? You, sir have no right to say such a thing....getting familiarized with a new game, especially a MMO takes time, good sir.
People who don't know what your are doing in this game then you should be playing because you are more stupid then a rock because the tutorial explain how to do the stuff needed to survive in the game. This isnt your average MMO like all that other crap the asians throw at us. This is a game of politices and RPing. LED - Police Mercs - Killers Bos - Better Killers because they have more Vortex - Corperation. This has everything any game needs to be a good MMO but people dont understand that because they have been getting fed off of the stupid crap and dont know what a good game is. Instead of complaining about not knowing how to do something if your in the game why not try asking a member of your faction becasue the people in game (IN YOUR FACTION) are usually not so bad.
As for the ganking that goes on in the game... DEAL WITH IT! When I played I was the one killing you and stealing your stuff. As for the person who started this forum topic. You are a TOOLBAG and you need to get a life. Nobody cares that you design your own RP board games. I have an idea... Why dont you get out of your mothers house and go get yourself laid and well your doing that relise that you have no life and you need to get a new one. And it didnt take a college degree to figure out that you are a doose for starting this topic.

People who depend on such a tutorial, that makes them wait and declare themselves idle and call this MMO a freakshow, they have no say in this....get up and make yourself worthwhile....troll around forums, ask around, JUST don't sit there.
actually just about anyone who's played will tell ya FOM just basically sucks. except for a few fanboi's
uncohesive game. No content even tho player driven....oh wait sorry. Stand and do nothing then do nothing some more. Standing guard...great player content.
give it up. Game sucks for actual gamers.
wanna pvp?:)
the response from Sroheck
Your post is pure ignorance. You call yourself an actual gamer yet you talk down on open-PvP sandbox games, the essence of online gaming. FoM will never appeal to the masses, wanna know why? Because the game doesn't take you by the hand and it doesn't have an "I WIN" button. It's a game for gamers who want more out of a game. It's a game for roleplayers, PvPers, and economists combined. It's not for simple minded people.
my return comment
nfortunately for myself my opinion of the game isn't based out of ignorance. I played for close to two weeks hoping things would get better. I dont troll unless I feel I've earned the right to.
Two weeks with that POS give me the right for 3.2 bashings not including return comments to fanboi's. I wasted one of my tickets now.
as for simple minded I've been playing AO for a number of years. Hate to tell you but there is more depth there in twinking a lvl 10 char than your entire game.
I gave Your game an actual shot. not for me. I generally dont flame. the usual motto is if you like it fine, but not for me...but this one is a complete waste of bandwidth. And no it isnt because I didnt understand the nuances. Again no because I dont like to RP...I do. It's simply because the player driven entirety of the thing doesnt work.
I'll pay a sub and get content from a pro. Not stand around and run to terminals incessantly, and very rarely shoot off a weapon once I gain enough faction.
offer still stands wanna pvp? any game other than fom. meet ya there and be ready with a lvl appropriate char
or are ya all talk?
You probably arent a bad guy, misguided, but not evil. The game is dead. You're going to have to move to another anyhow unless you plan on taking a break from MMo's. Lets duel somewhere then we can be friends and I'll give you a tour of something fun. Your choice. I've pretty much played most games on the list here at one point or another
I cant understand why people play this. I've tried it several times but still get nowhere with any tangible meaning for time investment.

I'm not flaming but I'd like a clue ty in advance
You're a complete outsider who knows shit about the FoM and its history. Quit trying to preach your weightless opinion on the game.
as for simple minded I've been playing AO for a number of years. Hate to tell you but there is more depth there in twinking a lvl 10 char than your entire game.
It is clear that you then prefer grinding games over FoM. I played AO. I disliked the game becouse it was an other grinding game. Becouse you dont like the game does mean the game is disliked and that is what poeple fail to see. The game is not made for 1000s of poeple online at the same time. You can see that on the level design. It is for an smaller group of players who enjoy the way you play this game. I actualy like standing around for 30 minutes shooting nothing.
I like the time where you dont shoot anything for days and times where you shoot and fight a lot (called politics one of the good things about thisi game)

You obviously have not been introduced to the full potential of what FoM brings to it's achievers through gaming. Which faction you join and what type of activities you do is depended on your own decision, not blaming it on the Game's value. The game brings you the experience, but it is you who must be orientated with it's environment.
You stand their idling not looking for a hint of an event, then you are missing out on a whole lot. The game doesn't control you, YOU do....
The point is, you compare other type of genres with FoM which is totally different in terms of it's aspect and attributes as a MMO....it's differences makes FoM among the most unique MMO's out there. You can't compare FoM with Games that have a fine line of difference, even though it matches up to your likings.

Please, the irony is too much....people playing the game for about an hour or so, or take a day or two and complement that this is a low ranking game....when they haven't even experienced much of the game, thus complaining about the navigation that they lack themselves....? How is this not a surprise?
So the game is toward a low standpoint, JUST because of your lack of navigation or the difficulty which makes it irritating? Psshh....
Please friend, this is a whole new world open to you. You expect you to find yourself and get familiarized with the whole interface in just one day or two? You, sir have no right to say such a thing....getting familiarized with a new game, especially a MMO takes time, good sir.

As for the ganking that goes on in the game... DEAL WITH IT! When I played I was the one killing you and stealing your stuff. As for the person who started this forum topic. You are a TOOLBAG and you need to get a life. Nobody cares that you design your own RP board games. I have an idea... Why dont you get out of your mothers house and go get yourself laid and well your doing that relise that you have no life and you need to get a new one. And it didnt take a college degree to figure out that you are a doose for starting this topic.
Bensin out!

uncohesive game. No content even tho player driven....oh wait sorry. Stand and do nothing then do nothing some more. Standing guard...great player content.
give it up. Game sucks for actual gamers.
wanna pvp?:)
the response from Sroheck
Your post is pure ignorance. You call yourself an actual gamer yet you talk down on open-PvP sandbox games, the essence of online gaming. FoM will never appeal to the masses, wanna know why? Because the game doesn't take you by the hand and it doesn't have an "I WIN" button. It's a game for gamers who want more out of a game. It's a game for roleplayers, PvPers, and economists combined. It's not for simple minded people.
my return comment
nfortunately for myself my opinion of the game isn't based out of ignorance. I played for close to two weeks hoping things would get better. I dont troll unless I feel I've earned the right to.
Two weeks with that POS give me the right for 3.2 bashings not including return comments to fanboi's. I wasted one of my tickets now.
as for simple minded I've been playing AO for a number of years. Hate to tell you but there is more depth there in twinking a lvl 10 char than your entire game.
I gave Your game an actual shot. not for me. I generally dont flame. the usual motto is if you like it fine, but not for me...but this one is a complete waste of bandwidth. And no it isnt because I didnt understand the nuances. Again no because I dont like to RP...I do. It's simply because the player driven entirety of the thing doesnt work.
I'll pay a sub and get content from a pro. Not stand around and run to terminals incessantly, and very rarely shoot off a weapon once I gain enough faction.
offer still stands wanna pvp? any game other than fom. meet ya there and be ready with a lvl appropriate char
or are ya all talk?
You probably arent a bad guy, misguided, but not evil. The game is dead. You're going to have to move to another anyhow unless you plan on taking a break from MMo's. Lets duel somewhere then we can be friends and I'll give you a tour of something fun. Your choice. I've pretty much played most games on the list here at one point or another
I cant understand why people play this. I've tried it several times but still get nowhere with any tangible meaning for time investment.
I'm not flaming but I'd like a clue ty in advance
I like the time where you dont shoot anything for days and times where you shoot and fight a lot (called politics one of the good things about thisi game)
You obviously have not been introduced to the full potential of what FoM brings to it's achievers through gaming. Which faction you join and what type of activities you do is depended on your own decision, not blaming it on the Game's value. The game brings you the experience, but it is you who must be orientated with it's environment.
You stand their idling not looking for a hint of an event, then you are missing out on a whole lot. The game doesn't control you, YOU do....
The point is, you compare other type of genres with FoM which is totally different in terms of it's aspect and attributes as a MMO....it's differences makes FoM among the most unique MMO's out there. You can't compare FoM with Games that have a fine line of difference, even though it matches up to your likings.
