Perpetuum.com was already taken.

Just a bit of pointed, dry humor on my part.

Anywho, I find the game interesting, and I'm curious about which direction that the dev team will take. It's got a great deal of promise.

That's the telling bit, when ever i have managed to stay the course with an mmo it has to have enough too interest me, the sandbox does this but the thing that keeps me is the investment of my time in keeping up with the devs, avidly reading the patches and going to a number of lengths to figure out what's happening next as well as adding my own little voice to the games evolution, i feel i am engaged and involved.

I'm getting that same vibe here about possibly being heard or being involved in some little way. That is a very interesting thing.

Looks like the put the wrong name in the url too. Might want to complain to management. Make sure they know that it's just "Perpetuum".

This is my absolute favorite part right here. A handful of folks putting out a game because they want to. No crazy corporate money hungry crap. Just a game.

Well, when you don't have the massive resources of a large corporate development team, you start out with less polish in some areas and more polish in others. I'm sure they'll get around to some of the less important stuff like your avatar. :-P

Initially I was a bit put off by the avatar creation. Seemed pretty blocky. But the moment I logged into the game itself, I couldn't possibly care less about what my login/forum avatar looks like. This game is gorgeous.

So it's got a vaguely similar skilling process? Who cares? That does not make it an EvE clone. IMO, every single mmorpg on the market could benefit from switching to an offline skill increase/pooling system.

Anywho, I find the game interesting, and I'm curious about which direction that the dev team will take. It's got a great deal of promise.

EvE since 2008. Big fan of the old table top BattleTech games. Used to play them for hours on end. PO kinda reminds me of them.

Also, really interested on getting in on the ground floor (first year) of a new mmo.

So what's a good corp to join over here? I saw NeX in the thread. Is that where all the eve folks are going to for this first little bit?
