MMORTS, Society, website launched

Build a society in a persistent world

Monday, May 23, 2005 by Stardock Central | Discussion: WinCustomize News

Stardock has officially launched the website for its upcoming massively multiplayer real time strategy game, Society. The website, SocietyGame.com, is designed to give players a place to interact with the development team and get more information on the game.

In the game, players take the role of a sovereign of a society in which they start with control of a single province in a world with tens of thousands of provinces. Players build cities which have dozens of different kinds of buildings that players can design themselves to meet the needs of their Socians (farms, shops, mines, markets, wells, libraries, theaters, barracks, etc.).

From their cities players can draft citizens into their armies who can conquer other provinces from either computer controlled sovereigns or other players playing in the same persistent world (up to twenty thousand people are expected to be playing on a given world).

While warfare is an essential element of the gameplay, players will be able to prosper and expand through trade, treatieis, culture, and other diplomatic features.

Stardock plans to make the game available for free (including the monthly subscription). A premium version will also be available which will have enhanced graphics and some additional on-line conveniences.

Visit the website for more info.

How delightfully convenient! I like that. Not like some websites where you have to have three usernames and passwords for various areas. This is how it should be.
