Saw this posted at PA, and I always blindly sign-up for anything marked "open beta". [url]www.fomportal.com[/url] It's kind of slow right now with the launch...
Overall an interesting concept, hopefully it won't be messed up though.
"Face of Mankind is a Massively Multiplayer Online RolePlaying Game (MMORPG) in a persistent world. You will control a single character in the science fiction game-world. It will be available on CD-ROM or for download in 2004. Once installed on your PC you will have access to an ever changing game-world via your internet connection. Thousands of players throughout the game world co-operate, compete or co-exist in a realistic and futuristic world of the 24th century.
The plot is constantly evolving, with new missions created constantly. The skill and luck of the players from rival factions change the balance of power. Highly ranked players create missions which are split and handed down through the hierarchy. The objective of the game is to evolve your character to its ultimate potential, whether that is the accumulation of wealth, power, social status or all three.
About Face of Mankind
Face of Mankind is not a typical RPG: the most important difference is that you are the game. Your actions will affect the next available tactical decision for you and your fellow players. Your actions will affect the economic system. Your actions will determine the balance of power each and every second.
You have control over an intuitive First Person Shooter style interface. The cutting edge graphics engine will present a world of five huge cities on earth, 20 colonies in outer space and two special places.
Choose to join one of ten organizations. Be a soldier for the F.D.C. or a law enforcer of the L.E.D.. Fight for right and order, climb to higher ranks! Decide to be a clan member and find your way beyond the law! Or join one of the companies as a trader, miner or producer to control the complex economic system.
What ever path you chose, Face of Mankind will continue to evolve. You are only one player among many, but you can change the world. Your destiny demands it."
