Perpetuum Online

Summarizing this game is easy. It mirrors EVE Online in almost every way except with mechs. The interface is very similar, the mechanics are very similar and even the leveling is very similar (gain points to spend on skills in real-time whether logged in or not).

It's definitely a little rough for being in beta (and no NDA that I know of), but it seems to play decent enough, even if the graphics are dated.

Anyone else playing around with the closed beta?

I've never heard of this.

The fact they've got a banner on the front page begging for investors doesn't give me much hope it'll be released, but I'll keep an eye on it.

hmmmmmm I might look in to it, but I always liked the idea of eve more than the playing

got in the beta......... ya..... to say it's bit rough is, well, generous. I'll give it a real go before I can it

Are the screen shots accurate of the in-game graphics or just renders that look good? This needs to have a lot of good eye candy just like EVE.

I can't play EVE. Literally...i just can't...i've tried too.

Heh, perhaps a bit more action, like this game, might be the fix. But as someone said, the odds are against this one making it to release without the funding already secured. Plus I find a lot of MMO startups have fantastic ideas or themes but not usually the savvy to pull it all together at the end.
