PC gamer article: http://www.pcgamer.com/the-black-death-is-a-grim-survival-game-set-in-medieval-times/

basic premise (taken from part of the PC gamer article)

"The Black Death is a massively multiplayer survival game that allows you to choose your own path in this dark, medieval land, complete with a diverse population of villagers, wildlife, and plague victims. Create your own story from a range of different play styles - become a blacksmith; defend the weak as a knight; or earn your living as a merchant. The wealthier, the richer, the stronger you become, the better your chance of survival."

Sounds awesome, but a lot of times survival games turn into PvP deathmatch games. Hopefully this ends up good though.

Eh, it sounds cool, but I'm not particularly hyped. Early access survival games are a dime a dozen and often seem good in theory, but break apart when people actually start playing.

Class sounds interesting but at the same time I feel it's gonna devolve into the typical "Pick hardiest fightin' class and kill everyone else"

yeah, thats what I'm worried about. I won't be getting it right away. But it sounds like it could be really good, unless it turns into death match pvp like most of these turn into.

I dunno...  I'm more inclined to trod over the weak as a knight.  Is that an option?

And I see that MMO tag, so I'm assuming it is similar to ArcheAge?

... That is never an option in MMO, unless its rated stupid evil.  That dark side in the latest Star Wars MMO.
