In the not-too-distant future, a strange anomaly opens the gates of the universe for humans. With this new technology, energy, information and atomic size objects can be transported to anywhere in space.

The most intriguing of all new discoveries is an Earth-like planet, where humanity discovers a new source of energy, vital to its unbroken advancement. However, this planet is inhabited by a synthetic, robot-like life form. Their technology and resources are the goal of humanity's new conquest.

Players may take part in various areas of the project. They may fight on the front lines for new territories, develop the already established infrastructure, trade goods or services, or even set their own goals and set up their own coprorations.

Looks like Eve with robots.

It's a Hungarian MMO.  I went to Hungary once.  I didn't like it.  It was scary.  I'm pretty sure they didn't like me, either.  Stupid Iron Curtain.

I actually haven't heard about this game before, and yeah, it looks very EVE-y. Should be interesting to witness Hungarian incompetence in a MMOG setting at last!


edit: http://www.gamekapocs.hu/cikk/4208/1248/Perpetuum is an article [in Hungarian] about visiting the studio, with pix. A choice quote: "The studio currently has five members, along with a lot of contributors from all over the country".

These guys look legit!  why so serious? (or maybe I'm too damn jaded...)

Does it look actually like EVE, or does the  "docked" interface just look like a rip off?

Assumption. Just become they use the same font, or color or even the same .JPG does not a clone make. Maybe a UI cone..but even that is a simplification as i am sure controlling a robot is different that EVE's ships.

Man that UI is *really* close to Eve's. They should have stolen Auto Assault's instead, nobody would have noticed.

At least one of the devs is ex-BoB, so they probably figured it'd be easier to write a whole new game where they are the devs on speed-dial.  awesome, for real

Why in gods name would they lift the UI from the MMO that has arguably the worst UI out of any ever made?

This is not the worst UI in the world, no! This is just a tribute!

I signed up for the robot combat.

Also, I appreciate that the majority of personal information isn't a compulsory field and that they don't need to know my blood type before I can register.  

EDIT: Looked through the beta blog and some more info on the site. Looks very much like an EVE clone and the highest number of players they've been able to keep online at once is 52.

It is actually one of the best UIs in an MMO.  It just does not work well for any game except Eve. Much of Eve is data and nothing compares to what can be displayed in that game with two or three mouse clicks.

Do not let the fact that eve is a lot better than it use to be confuse you on the fact that Eve has a very very shitty UI.

I like the Eve UI, however it would not work for any other game I have ever played.

"Realtime asychronous" combat sounds like an oxymoron.

There's no reason to use the Eve UI outside of Eve. I imagine these guys has a bunch of Eve-loving players though, kinda like the PotBS guys except at least they didn't make their UI all gray and microgramma.

Overall this one sounds like Mechwarrior crash landed on Atriarch.
