Fallen Age Goo

More interesting MMORPG news from the…. front. Fallen Age, a recent development or rather, announcement on the gaming scene, is fast approaching beta testing. If you’re curious to know what it’s all about I’ve snagged a bit from the FAQ to accustom you to what its all about. Afterward, you’re going to have to check out FallenAge@Xrgaming for all the latest including 3, count them, 1, 2 and 3, interviews with the producer “Savant” and a recent installment of his plan. As promised, here’s a snatch from the FAQ:

• Science Fiction Fantasy hybrid. The game takes place at approximately 6400 A.D. – A strange new earth.
• 126 Unique Spells and Skills each with their own awe-inspiring 3D effects.
• Three Race/Class combinations each with six sub-classes, and the opportunity to partially multi-class in the later levels.
• 500 levels of action-packed game play.
• Several choices for consensual PvP (Player versus Player) combat. (Guild Wars, Deathmatches, PK Zones…)
• In-Game Ladders and Rankings for Deathmatches.
• An incredible equipment system which provides for 10,000 unique items per game world.
• In-Game tracking of Mob and PKills.
• A completely original and unique Colonization sub-game!
• A combination of Turn Based Simulation and Real Time Strategy where you build your empire, ally with friends, conquer enemy territory, manage resources, tinker with politics… become an Emperor.

It’s customary to be wary of anything promising a panacea of gaming goodness… we’ll just have to see if it can live up to its claims, as well as being a fun experience. Either way, it’s an interesting development.
