Dawn of Fantasy Open Beta

I can't remember whether it was someone in ATK who told me about this game so it might've been mentioned already, but at the end of February there's going to be an open beta for Dawn of Fantasy, a sort of MMORTS/RPG, where you build up your armies and cities in an online persistent world, which carries on functioning even when you log off.

Overview from Gamespot:

Set in the persistent massively multiplayer online 3D world of Mythador, Dawn of Fantasy, offers you the chance to write your own chapter in the bloody history of this land. Explore a richly-detailed, endless world, from the high mountain peaks of Southmount in the human realm of Teria to the swamps of Erthee l'Bala of the Wood Elves. Complete dozens of story-driven quests in services of kings, wizards, and fellow adventurers. Interact with thousands of other players through trading, forging alliances, and waging war in both Player vs. Player and Player vs. Environment battles. Build up your villages into towns and then mighty empires, cast mighty magic upon your enemies with a total of 28 unique spells, and lay siege to your enemies with great trebuchets, the brute strength of the walking woods, ogres, and dragon mercenaries to reign supreme. Play as three different races - elves, men, and orcs, each of which offers a radically different playstyle and has been given a deep, compelling mythology, a dramatic historical background, and a spectrum of complex political ambitions that drive the story and gameplay.

I think it looks like a pretty cool concept, and hopefully it's not TOO nerdy, would be pretty good if we all got into the open beta and had some sort of massive online ATK alliance.

Awesome. Will look into it.
