This sounds......

too good to possibly BE TRUE.

The game is called Beyond Protocol and promises a great MMORTS experience. That's right... a Massively Multiplayer Online REAL TIME STRATEGY.

Some highlights:

• You build a colony/empire that persists even when you are logged-off.
• Multiple people can be in control of the same colony/empire, so you can have a team that divides tasks and works more efficiently.
• There will be a political system that you can use toward your own ends.
• ALL UNITS will be "fully customizable" in their looks and parts (whatever that may entail).

I'm trying to figure out whether or not this is plausible as a good title. I'm sure that they could release something that works... but that by no means guarantees that it will be remotely decent as a game.

Any thoughts?

First off, the mere concept of an MMORTS infuriates me.

Did you get into the beta Conscript? I couldn't find a download link anywhere.

Actually, it isn't an open Beta test. They are conducting closed-testing on a paid basis.

Sucks, doesn't it?
