    Default Taikodom space mmo (action+tatics+strategy+Virtual world)

    Did anyone know about this game before? I just found out about it today...

    What do we mean by MSGs?

    Fun means something different for every person. Each day we may be looking for different kinds of entertainment. That is what Massive Social Games (MSGs) innovative approach are all about: a massive and diverse universe with many different ways for you to connect, from the adrenaline rush of spaceship combat in an action game to relaxing at a virtual space station bar with some friends, MSGs stand for maximum interaction among users and across styles.


    As an original creation by Hoplon Infotainment, MSGs mix together the best in metaverse (virtual worlds) and massive games (MMOGs) to offer users a large spectrum of challenges, entertainment and social interaction, going far beyond games in order to create a new kind of interactive media for large audiences.


    Taikodom, a futuristic universe originally created by Hoplon, will be the world's first MSG. Two talented and well-known Brazilian Sci-Fi authors, Gerson Lodi-Ribeiro and Joćo Marcelo Beraldo, have been working with Hoplon on the initial version for this highly dynamic universe. After launching it, the control of how the universe develops will partly shift into the virtual hands of thousands of MSG users, whose summed daily actions and decisions will help steer the future of the Universe of Taikodom.


    Initially, the following styles are planned for Taikodom's MSG:

    * An action game in FPS (First Person Shooter) style where users can pilot spaceships, from fighters to miners.

    * A tactical game in RTS (Real Time Strategy) style where users can coordinate groups of action pilots, or run factories and research.

    * A strategy game (pending pre-production) where users will mastermind plans and coordinate tactical gamers playing as managers and commanders under the strategist's organization.

    * A metaverse where users can live a virtual life inside space stations.

    All styles connect to the same server thru the Internet, meaning all users share the same universe, no matter what style you choose! This also means each style has a dedicated “version” it runs on, lean and simple to use. These interactions across many styles help create a richer, surprising universe, as simple or complex as one wishes to perceive it, offering countless hours of fun and entertainment.


    Highly entertaining, broadly interactive, unsurpassed in freedom to enjoy. Welcome to Taikodom!

    I didn't like it. First time they made it it was a big failure, it went P2P and, after that, they decided to rebuild from zero. It'll go P2P again in some future.

    It breaks the generic mold, so that's cool.

    However, it isn't an MMORPG. >_>
