    Default New space-based sci-fi MMO coming out in 2009

    During Colony Studios' press release yesterday, they revealed a new space-based sci-fi MMO that will be coming out in 2009. Appearently, they are an "all-star" team in the mmo industry that just officially formed yesterday.

    Colony Studios was founded by game industry veterans for the express purpose of developing next-generation, massively multiplayer online (MMO) products. Our MMO creative team brings to Colony Studios more MMO development experience than any other company at inception, with team members having made significant contributions to half of the top ten hit MMO game titles:


    World of Warcraft


    Eve Online


    Lord of the Rings Online


    Dark Age of Camelot


    City of Heroes


    The founding members have collectively shipped over 70 titles across a wide range of platforms, from today’s high-end PCs to the Apple IIe™, from the Sony PlayStation®2 and Microsoft Xbox™, and to the Sega Genesis™ and Nintendo® NES®.

    Our current focus is on developing a unique, space-based sci-fi MMO that will contain immersive gameplay mechanics, innovative design, and truly unique content. It will captivate players, create social ties, and push the genre itself.
    their site is http://www.colonystudios.com btw, definitely something to keep watching for...

    Thats not long at all.

    Look how long WoW was in development. I remember it being I think 2+ yrs for it. From storyboard creation to its beta testing.

    Aion, is going on 1.5 years now.
    Tabula Rasa is almost 2 years.
    Warhammer: Age of Reckoning is close to 2 years.
    Conan, about 1.5 years.

    It really all depends on what you plan on doing with the game, the engine, and the interface. If your gonna do it from scratch, it may take a very long time. If your gonna "clone" some bits, then it wont take long.

    I'll worry about this game in afew years when onRPG is flooded with hype. Right now my sci-fi needs are targeted on Tabula Rasa.
