Here’s a new video, delving into the studio’s direction in story telling.  It seems like this story centric MMOG is making things quite different. 

I for one am really excited about this title, based on 2 things alone: Star Wards and Bioware; two names that are synonymous to “awesome” in my books.  My biases aside, I am glad that someone is actually putting a strong emphasis on a story line, especially YOUR storyline in a MMOG.  It seems like most other MMOGs provide a basic story (sometimes a very GOOD story), but makes it seem really cookie-cutter.  It seems like you don’t really make a difference in the story. 

It remains to be seen how well the game translates what the video presenters are saying.  A lot of developpers have said that their game will do one thing or another, then when the game comes out…it’s not quite as they described it.  Alas, it is too far from release to confirm to 100% how things will develop.  Closed beta feedback might change a lot of things too….

Ugh!  I hope it stays as good as they’re describing it.

Hey folks!  Global Agenda is a game I’m following more and more due to the fact that it’s a MMOG in a sci-fi setting, with big guns and stuff blowing up and just plain, all out PvP.  Takes me back to my PlanetSide days…

Anyways, moving on.  This game looks very interesting and I would love to garner some interest from my peers and guildmates.  Please do not hesitate to go check out the game at their website (www.globalagendagame.com) and if you wish to sign up for beta, let me know.  I can supply you with a referral code.  From what I understand, if I use up my referral codes, it just shows our interest as a group of close individuals, thereby increasing our odds of getting in.  Please PM/EMail me if you want a referral code and we’ll discuss further.

Until then, may the internet continue to rob you of your time as you realize you just spent too much time on Facebook…

 Now who the hell decided that they could release a game like this?  When is it ok to release a game and throttle the distribution as they are doing?  I want to play it!  I don’t want to wait in line @ 2PM daily on the internet to see if my “BUY NOW” button click gets registered on time.

Never in my life have I witnessed anything so absurd.  I know they want to ensure quality service and blah blah blah!  But they had over 8 years to develop the game!  Could they not have come up with a better server by that time?  Or maybe a better cluster of servers.  Or maybe an addtional server?  Call me crazy but last I checked, getting a new server wasn’t the most expensive thing in the world, especially since you’d be outsourcing that to a MMOG server service provider.

Anywho, I might be able to do something one day.  Like borrow a friend’s account…if they can get a copy of it…
