Earthrise: Overview
Earthrise is a post apocalyptic science fiction MMORPG set in the distant future, currently being developed by Bulgaria's Masthead Studios. Earthrise will feature an entirely skill based system, giving greater flexibility for character customization and development, allowing players to select from hundreds of different skill, ability, and tactic options, and play styles. Players will be able to participate in fast-paced action combat with advanced PvP mechanics and territorial conquest battles. In addition to that, Earthrise will feature non-combat activities, like trading through a market-based economy and a deep crafting system.
Key features will include:
- A unique post-apocalyptic setting where the cloned remnants of mankind battle to survive and rebuild. Yet while humanity may have evolved, human nature remains as treacherous as ever…
- Highly customizable characters with over 100 different skills, abilities, and tactics. No artificial "class" restrictions get in the way of making the character you want.
- Fast-paced action combat featuring dynamic targeting, customizable power armor, huge mechanized exoskeletons, and hundreds of high-tech weapons.
- Sophisticated Player versus Player (PvP) mechanics that let you fight for the established order, join the revolutionary underground, or carve your own bloody path as an independent criminal.
- Territorial conquest and defense that matters. In your domain, you create your own rules – or let anarchy reign.
- Character progression that keeps you advancing in your career even when you're not logged in.
- An advanced market-based economy with in-game supply and demand based on player activities.
- Deep crafting mechanics that let you design and manufacture unique items from customizable blueprints and raw resources.
Earthrise is designed to run on the Windows operating system, and will be launching in 2009.
