Hey people,

New article detailing plans for infectious diseases and syndromes! 

http://trialsofascension.com/news/plagues-diseases

I'm really excited about this kind of stuff... i've never played an MMO with plague and contagion before.

The last time I played a game that only allowed one character per account but multiple accounts per player, the multiboxers were far and away the most powerful players in the game. They were able to solo the unsoloable and completely broke the economy. It was practically a form of pay-to-win.

I agree that it unbalances things a bit... the reason why they are allowing multiple accounts is so that families who share the same credit card can play together.  Hopefully multiboxers won't get too far ahead of the rest of the playerbase.

Been watching this. Got a little tired of the forums there and will poke my head back in once there's some videos/demos/articles demonstrating the practical, nitty-gritty details of gameplay.

Looks like it might be a haven and hearth without the grindliness.

Honestly I think they should go the route of Embers of Caerus and Pathfinder Online and do an initial Kickstarter for a small amount of money in order to do a nice-looking and representative tech demo, so that they can shop it around to investors and maybe do a second kickstarter for the money to make the actual game.  MMOs cost a heck of a lot to make, and there's only so much they can do in their spare time before they have any funding...

Otherwise, I think they face a problem: in order to raise money on Kickstarter, they have to have solid preliminary assets to show off, which it's difficult to produce until they make money enough to pay for them.

Either way it's going to be a while before we see some solid gameplay videos / better screenshots / character creators / whatever.

Also, the kickstarter is going to start this summer sometime!

Sounds really interesting. PTW

Hey,

just thought I'd bump this thread as we get closer to the kickstarter date... It should be sometime in the next couple weeks.

They've redone their faq section with a game info page that really summarizes nicely the salient features of the game...

Just an FYI. KS will start on Oct 21.

Also, the 100 deaths is not set in stone just yet. It may change based on testing.

[Sinlessmoon]

I really can't wait for this, I'm skeptical... But really hopeful.

PTW

I'm not sure about this, but it seems like it'll turn out good. Wonder if it'll have roleplaying mechanics/roleplaying servers.
