Not just another MMORPG, it's based upon the ancient Egyptian 'Seven Disciplines of Man'. From the FAQ: <blockquote><i>It contains no combat: no monsters, no player-killers, no swords or armor. Your character advances by completing, participating in, or leading large projects. Negotiation and politics play a very large role. The game has a plot that unfolds in response to player actions, and when the story is over, the game ends.</i></blockquote> post:www.metafilter.com,2002:site.18482 Tue, 16 Jul 2002 14:30:09 -0800 GriffX ATaleInTheDesert MMORPG MMOs egypt RPGs http://www.metafilter.com/18482/#305447 The whole "constant worry about getting killed unfairly by a h4x0r" angle is what's kept me out of online gaming thus far. This is something I could get behind--competitive, but not combative. comment:www.metafilter.com,2002:site.18482-305447 Tue, 16 Jul 2002 21:27:42 -0800 Prospero
