Ever played D&D or some other role playing game? Ever wondered about the poor sovereign who ruled the land you were running around in stirring up trouble? You're about to find out in Elemental!
Elemental puts you directly into the game as the powerful sovereign of a fledgling kingdom who has the relatively unique ability to channel magic from the shards of magic. You can imbue your minions with the ability to channel this magic too as long as you are willing to give up some of your essence to them.
Over the course of the next year, we'll be launching a public beta -- by the end of next Spring and while the release date is tentative February 2010, that date is subject to the public beta. No NDAs. We don't ship until it's the best game we can make it.
In these forums you'll see debates, discussions and ideas on how to make the game better. On some things we'll agree, in other places we'll disagree and explain why. If we don't agree with an idea or suggestion, we'll try to explain why we believe the way we do and defend our design choices when possible. All players are encouraged to participate.
If it's like the betas of our other games, it should be a lot of fun and should result in a much better game as the final result will take in the combination of the coolest and best ideas from the community.
