Former EVE Online developers are building a society simulation MMO where your character keeps playing even after you log off (cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net)

It seems promising? Has anyone been in the playtests yet?

I mean I guess but what does society simulation mean? Is my character working an office job while I am working an office job? I wouldn't want to curse even lines of code to that fate.

They did say there was something like 40 professions. I would hope it's better things than that!

They also said you and your friends can have your own society. I'd be down for that, just login and check it before playing other games right quick.

[–] whiskerleaf@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah and can make your own rules.

Can societies attack other societies is my only question. Do I have to worry about being colonized? Something about the spikey polygons on people in that video made me think bad things happen sometimes.

If the developers of EVE are involved it seems like a safe bet that yes, you will have to worry about attacks from your neighbours, from strangers, and from your closest friends sometimes.

Based on reading the article my guess would be no? But I'm not sure.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 2 points 9 hours ago

Alright this is going on my list for sure. I like other simulation games like Gridworld and Worldbox. This seems in a similar vein except I have 1 character.

It does have PvP and a previous article I read about it said you could have your own world that's just a constant state of war because you want to encourage PvP there.

Which I read as you can designate a safe world that is only trade.
