    Many of those "quarter million" beta sign-ups are very likely to be multiple submissions from the same people. I've submitted applications about 5 god damn times to the beta and I've yet to hear word one in regards to an invite, as have several friends of mine, and friends of theirs, etc etc.

    "Quarter-Million" means jack diddly if you don't limit submissions to one per person.

    Same here... guys... no key... with so much competition you would think more would get a beta invite.

    What I am looking forward to:
    Jumpgate Evolution
    Star Wars The Old Republic
    Star Trek MMO
    APB
    Final Fantasy XIV

    Some pretty stiff competition to come. The main thing Jumpgate has is the real time flight action. I can't wait... I tried signing up our whole guild from WOW, but still have not received a beta... like waiting for trillian astra beta from a year ago.

    @Benny: Don't remind me of that Trillian astra beta, you'd have a better chance of getting a PS3 price cut.

    I think the real time flight action makes it unique enough to keep it from being a competiton and more of an alternative.

    Someone said to me that CCP (EVE-Online developers) must be crapping themselves with these numbers - this beta has as many players signed up to it as CCP hit subscribers last year after a 5 year run of EVE.

    I must kindly point out, before anybody makes a similar remark, that the audience for Jumpgate Evolution is obviously a larger collection of people than the audience for EVE. It is natural that more people will be interested.

    The games cannot be compared, so don't even think about trying.

    Personally I have signed up to the Beta for JGE, but remembering how much of a disappointment the first one was... I am on the fence.

    @Jon:
    Yeah well age of conan had ridiculous beta numbers and a stupid amount of people that started playing... look how that turned out. Everyone quit in a month. Just cause you have a metric shit ton of people that WANT to play the game doesn't mean the game is good and that it'll translate directly into a loyal fan base. That being said... fuck eve.

    Signed up for the beta when the website launched. Haven't heard anything :(. Though, with CO and DFO right around the corner, I find my interest waning.

    I have great hope and fear for this game... It's everything I want from an MMO, but there's no MMO on earth that could actually offer this fast paced frenzy action fest the trailers want us to believe in, due to the lag issues.


    Sort of a OnLive feeling, if you will...

    @John_Norad: While Eve doesn't have the free controls of Jumpgate, it has some epically large battles. I'm sure you'll be able to find videos somewhere.

    @-MasterDex-: In Eve, you select your target, the server does the math and tell you if you're still alive.


    It's nothing like calculating the real-time, trajectory of the bazillion freely-aimed projectiles we see ni this trailer, to see if they hit or miss any of the quadragillion ships that fly around.

    @John_Norad: Oh I know but it still seems possible, especially if they have the epic battles against one of the less stellar backdrops. We'll see. I only wish they'd hurry up and give out the beta keys already.

    Very much looking forward to the beta of this. It's coming along really nicely from what I've seen and with any luck, it'll be worth the wait.

    this game looks wicked. I have been missing a GOOD starfighter game like privateer or Tie Fighter, though the concept of constantly being in the ship might wear thin.

    @UrbanKnight: NetDevil also created the now-defunct MMO Auto Assault, about vehicular combat. There were cities in that game where you got out of your car and walked around. I would not be surprised if you could dock at space stations and walk around in Jumpgate.

    @UrbanKnight: I'm pretty sure that the starfighter-only gameplay should mean that NetDevil would include plenty of features as to not make it boring after a while. Don't forget about the visuals. The game is supposedly very beautiful, with amazing graphics, after all.

    I am definitely digging the Descent allusion. The premise of the game looks great, it would give me a reason to dust off that old thrstmaster.

    @PsycheE: Yeah I broke at least one Wingman joystick playing Descent (probably descent 2 actually). Man I loved that - I remember when the 3DFX patch came out we were all losing our minds with how smooth and slick everything looked.

    So how does the PVP work in this game? Is it world PVP, or PVP in certain areas or what?
