I followed that game for years, before it ever came out. No pc for long time so I lost track of it. Early review dogged it. Don't know much about it anymore. Supposed to be a total online battle. You can do it all, and it takes weeks to win the war if not longer. I think they even had naval stuff, but not sure. I might be interested again now that I have a pc at home.

Yeah, nothing much came out of that game. It was quite ambitious at the time though.

Seems like it has a small but devoted following. Just looked interesting enough but the graphics do look pretty bad. Thought that someone here might be playing it already and wanted to get some thoughts.

...and you had to pay to play. That nixed my chances of playing too, I'd forgotten that part. Love the concept though, still do.

It is an interesting concept. It's just too bad that the graphics looked like hell, as most MMO's graphics tend to do. But every screenshot, and "live video" I saw of it looked really, really bad.

Kinda looks like Atari 2600 "Combat" with planes, tanks, and ships and 64 players, yeah, the graphics leave a lot to be desired. Guess they sacrifice the eye candy for gameplay.
