I thought it might be prudent to some to relay my experience with Jumpgate (3do's new Online Multiplayer Universe) The game is pretty much seamless, you start out with a small amount of credits, build our ship, make cargo, mining, and trade runs and work up to the point where you can build bigger ships and make more money blowing people out the sky.

Jumpgate is unique because of it's freespace engine which is pretty much unmatched in any multiplayer universe. Stats are kept while you are not playing and your account is not ever reset.

The pros: Big limitless freespace universe, great graphics, fun, and low monthly cost ($9.99).

The Cons: BIIIIIG time committment, killer squids, and lengthy process of obtaining experience points.

See you guys out there.

I dont play any games that require monthly fees.

Guy can you give us some more insight on the game play?

Whats the interactive element like? Is it worth that 10 bucks a month as opposed to just playing Freespace? I havent seen anything about the game so I cant really comment... just curious.

Thanks

Well, most of them are good RPGs with action, but depend on a item-based style(get better equipment is one big goal in game).

They usually have good graphics, but you should have a nice connection to be playing online: dsl, etc.

I meant specifically JumpGate... I know what MMORPGS are :)
