Xsyon Earth 2012 Prelude
- Official web page: LINK
- Developer: Notorious Games (Indie)
- Media type and size: digital download
- Genre: MMORPG
- Release date: March 15, 2010
- Story/Description:
| Quote: | What is Xsyon?
Xsyon is a massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG), an online community, a virtual world and an adventure.
Set in the near future, Xsyon is an apocalyptic fable. The world draws its inspiration from history, mythology, and prophecies of the Apocalypse. Most aspects of modern life are now gone. The leaders of the new world, under the guidance of the reinvigorated once forgotten gods, have hidden traces of the scientific progress that led to the devastation of the earth. Modern vehicles, weapons, appliances, computer and even the books that describe these things are practically nowhere to be found.
The world will be released in a series of installments. Each release will further expand the online world to locations across the planet. the myths, beliefs and culture of these locations, both past and present will augment the Xsyon experience, as new skills, crafts, artifacts, creatures and landscapes are introduced. The storyline will advance based on the prophetic revelations and the players settlers of Xsyon who influence and determine the current state of the world. |
From MMORPG:
| Quote: | Who should try Xsyon - If you are old school and loved UO, SWG, or other sandbox games, you owe it to yourself to at least consider trying this game out. $40 for two months (plus 2-week head start) is a good deal and time enough to decide if you like it or not. If you don't like it or it's not really your thing, at least you supported the sandbox industry a bit which can't be a bad thing. Although the game is a bit rough right now, it has massive potential. I know, I know, you've heard that before, and so have I. We can't predict the future of any game but the lead designer created this game out of love for the genre, not out of a love for money. I see good things happening for Xsyon in the future.
Who should NOT try Xsyon - If you are into themeparks only, this game is not for you. If you expect everything to be handed to you, this game is not for you. If you have to have leet graphics in a game, this game is not for you. If you have a hard time figuring out how to play games on your own, this game is not for you. You get the idea. |
Will be trying this game myself next week, hopefully I won't be disappointed this time as Mortal Online did (I couldn't even get that game properly installed).

I guess that is stuff that will have to be addressed at some time and it is obvious the game is not near complete for now. I don't mind grinding if it pays off in the end.

So it looks like from the forums solo players are at a pretty big disadvantage in this. That more or less accurate?

@crossmr: If you mean homesteads that will be activated later and in what MMO can you do a raid alone? Working together will be necessary to achieve something.

not always, most MMOs I solo, or play with a core group of 3-4 friends anyway..
and its not that lack of ability to play as a group that's missing, that's there...if you want to be in a 50 man tribe, you can.
so your faulting the game itself for one(or a few) players choice to play solo? if so, every MMO in your opinion has that problem

its not bad at all, if your into the minecraft/builder/settlers type games its good.
otherwise it might be over tedious, cruel, and slightly OCD..lol

I don't know. I'm mildly interested in this, but the game seems like a mess. The forums really don't seem encouraging and it doesn't seem like there is a clear concrete direction on things and it looks like that any solo player is basically griefer food in the long run.
definitely needs a trial of some kind.
