MMORPG News - Jumpgate Evolution - Interview @ PlayTM

PlayTM talks to Hermann Petersheck about Jumpgate Evolution.

Jumpgate promises a new twist on action, compared to other MMO titles, what can you tell us about how the title will differ?

What we want to do is bring back the experience of Wing Commander, Privateer and X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter and then add to it the depth and fun of an MMO experience. That’s really the vision. We feel that this kind of experience is not around in the mainstream MMO arena and we’re hoping to change that. Having said that, the game will have many familiar things that have come to be staples of MMOs: a player driven economy, loot, multiple advancement paths, social features, quests, “crafting” and things of that sort. Fundamentally, however, it’s a space flight game and that’s where most people will be spending their time.
