Title: Pardus
Post by: Kosh on April 04, 2007, 10:52:54 pm

Has anyone actually played it? I've seen it advertised on several sites, including this one.

No, but I seriously don't trust the words "free MMOG."  Ever.  You want a good space-based MMOG?  Play EVE-Online.  It's only $20US for the first month (game is free to download) and ever month after that it's $15US.

i dont trust subscription games at all. i feel dirty to submit to their insolence. 15 bucks a month to sit there clicking your mouse at eachother.

... there was an open-source game, I forget the name, that was I guess sort of like Freelancer, I'll have to find it for you guys and post a link... might have been found here (http://osswin.sourceforge.net/games.html).
EDIT: Yeah, I think is was there, and I think that this (http://priv.solsector.net/) is the one.

And it requires a seriously extreme computer.

Tried to play with it, but I don't like the style.

i think it was merely the lack of joystick support, but i could see some serious potential there. they made it absolutely clear that it wasnt the game, rather a showoff of the engine..

Pardus is quite fun, and once you get over the initial complexity its pretty much second nature.

It is completely free, although you can pay if you want.
(you get a few more 'turns' per day and access to your stat data)

Beats the tar out of EVE simply for the fact you don't *have* to pay or have to run a beast of a machine to play.
The community is far less aggravating as well :p
