    As many MMOs as I've played in the past, Jumpgate looks like it's going to be a hell of a good time. I just hope it doesn't drop off like Earth & Beyond did a while back. We sure could use more flight-sims too.

    It would be rather nice if all your posts were not advertisements for your written articles elsewhere. Though I just gave attention to this by posting, so I guess I failed the ignore test.

    That being said, I highly disagree with the opinion in that article. I feel that there is no way a space based, flight simulation MMO is going to take off and be "what MMOs need." No way.

    I appreciate the fact that Jumpgate is different then WoW. If I play another MMO with elves I will puke. What concerns me with Jumpgate is the social aspect.

    Not being able to get out of your ship and walk around in a city and trade stuff is a bummer. How can I do dance emotes with a spaceship?

    Jumpgate looks to be like a watered down eve online with twitch shooting. I'll just stick to eve online.

    I'm curious as to why you think games like Jumpgate and Black Prophecy are a bad idea. I think the new angle is a much needed break from the standard fantasy fare.

    there is quite a few new space games comming out.. that looks freaking sweet... but jumpgate evolution is a game that i really need to play first, see what its like... games like eve-online has so much fucking content, you rarely get bored or can always find something to do, but with the first-person style space games, can get rather boring very quickly... graphics look stunning... but so do some other new ones comming out, and i haven't seen a space game yet beat X3's graphics so it'll definately be one i would LOVE TO PLAY.... before devoting hard earned cash into first.... simply just not enough videos out that show a lot of this game yet.

    Off-topic: Pre-CU SWG was still garbage. That game was broken from the get go. I used to play it so I know. Having to run nekkid to the center of the map because I was teleported there by a bug, then murdered by Tusken Raiders. Good times.
