I love MMORPGs, but ever since UO basically made the genre mainstream in the late 90s, 3 out of 4 titles have taken place in fantasy settings, and very few fall within the realm of sci-fi. Of the ones that did/do, the only truly successful ones involve licensed properties; even UOs creator, Lord British, couldn’t make a sci-fi MMO work.
So it has been with trepidation and hidden hope that I’ve kept an eye on Earthrise, an upcoming sci-fi MMORPG that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. Post-apocalyptic AND an MMORPG? Two of my favorite things!
Not a whole lot of detail is known about the game’s features just yet; only the general “it will have this, and this will be unique!” declarations. What we do know now, though, is that the developers have opened the beta sign-ups. So if you’re interested at all, or if you think you may be in the future, you can head over to this page and enter your name and information in hopes of being chosen to partake in the beta process.
