Comments on: Boundless Planet http://www.thefreemmorpg.com/sci-fi/boundless-planet/ Find free Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:04:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Vimes http://www.thefreemmorpg.com/sci-fi/boundless-planet/#comment-3407 Vimes Wed, 03 Oct 2007 23:06:13 +0000 http://www.thefreemmorpg.com/sci-fi/boundless-planet/#comment-3407 Its a land/sea/air based warfare led game with resource collection and unit creation and of course, WAR. The game is run by one solo developer and is soon going open source. We are trying to build a community at www.bpgamers.com to help develop this game further - the potential is great and warfare when busy is intense. There is a free weeks demo - the community is pushing for either a free server or a 4week demo to allow new players to fully experience the long term strategy elements. Planets last around a month before filling up and new planets are then released. Old ones remain open and active - just no new joins. Invasion is being explored for world v world conflict in the future. Death match can fill the time while silos refill with iron and oil, the two present resources. Many more are planned. Deathmatch maps are player made - .tga files with colour being interpreted by the server into heights and resources etc. Games are smaller, faster and have no new start shield. The community has ladders and events coming, hopefully with prizes. Present features: 16 unit types to build –in the thousands 9 Building types Varied land/sea relationships Group selection Unit or group Ai defense settings 5 Huge Main Planet types 21 slot unit build queues New player shield for 24 hours on First base Hyperlinked messages In game chat client with faction/ally/pm chat Players' Research and Exploration information is maintained after elimination. Months typical active play per world before new world release Older worlds remain open to existing empires DeathMatch games with custom maps – player made maps and upload Play Deathmatch at any time you want. Many players over many time zones Growing and vocal community Funky tunes in background Developments coming: Open Source of client first then engine Player/community made buildings and units Selectable textures for units and landscape Player created worlds Many changes in pipeline already like Targeting priority per unit type/unit/group Tournaments for DeathMatch Event games for prizes And more we haven’t thought about yet… Hone those skills and fill those moments of idleness with DeathMatch Arena - multiplayer madness in a confined map - no shield, no time, no Mercy!!! Non-stop build/kill fest leaving a undisputed winner! Eliminate all or defend all the Points of Control. Maps are player made - .tga files which convert into terrain and resources.

We now have a New Players world for new players to experiment in and get to know other players. This system is still evolving and atm veterans can join but are expected by all other vets to behave and limit their growth and activity severely. Many go on to play on the current Main Planet and go inactive here - providing ideas and opportunity for newcomers. Future restrictions for entry will make this a more interesting environment for those wishing to get proficient at BP The active planets now include a Timed planet - which is gaining fans both new and those who have had difficulty playing BP through time constraints. At the moment this is set to 7 hours a week - with regeneration of time etc explained in the forum area. Full time planets are the usual mayhem with factions dominating mostly. A recent addition has been the DeathMatch servers or 'Moons' with limited places, tight map, and three 'Points of Control' which must be built upon and held to achieve victory. Currently a free for all with no shields and plentiful bonus irons and very close enemies. To die is to sit the rest of the game out. Soon to be 'daily held'.
