    Default Prime: Battle for Dominus

    http://www.primeonline.com/media/news/

    I've been in the Alpha test for this game for a while. All I can say without breaking the NDA is.... JETPACKS!


    Phoenix, Arizona June 15, 2011 Pitchblack Games today unveiled their upcoming massively multiplayer title "Prime: Battle For Dominus.™"

    Warren Weems, President of Pitchblack, said "We've been flying under the radar for a long time now, and we're very excited to finally announce our game and start working towards release ."

    Featuring a science fiction setting, open world player versus player combat, safe home worlds for new players, player-driven content, and planned live events, Prime will offer players an exciting MMORPG experience.

    Prime is not just a name, it's also the element that powers all of the advanced technology in the game. This "Prime" element has only been found in abundance on a single planet, Dominus. The game begins with Humans being drawn into an enormous cosmic battle where the control of Prime means the difference between advancement and wealth or total destruction.

    Notable numbers:

    Three playable factions to choose from.
    Seven important professions contribute to player progression and a robust in-game economy.
    Eleven Worlds with over twenty-five large, open areas to explore.

    Said Weems, "We're building a huge, persistent online universe. We invite every player passionate about MMORPG's or science fiction to come check out the development of Prime."

    This is only the beginning. Follow our progress at:

    Ah, doesn't really appeal to me, but it may have potential.

    A saddening lack of Ewoks.

    @DAoC: Maybe if they let players trial it without a credit card... Game came-out before I turned 18 (i.e. starting buying stuff with credit cards).

    All I can say is the three realm RvR system is something I am a HUGE fan of. DAOC had the best PvP of any MMO ever imo. So hopefully this game will be like DAOC in that regard.

    Just an FYI; This is the same engine being used to develop SW:TOR. This company is the company that made the engine and sold it to EA.

    Does this remind anyone else of Global Agenda?
    Looks sick nonetheless, I can't wait.

    This company did not make the engine.

    Simutronics, maker of text-based games Gemstone IV and DragonRealms, is the creator of HeroEngine. It was originally created for their unreleased MMORPG Hero's Journey. Simutronics licensed the engine to Bioware to create SW:TOR. The company developing Prime, PitchBlack Games, is not associated with Simutronics or HeroEngine and is licensing it the same way Bioware is. Since then, German company Idea Fabrik has purchased HeroEngine from Simutronics and currently owns all rights to it.
