The Chronicle: BETA TESTERS

A while ago, I searched this site for a game to beta test and finally settled on Rapid Reality's The Chronicle.
Not only is this the most innovative game I've seen, but this is also the most unorthodox company I've ever heard
of! These guys actually listen to the fan base. I'd encourage everyone to go to mmocenter.com and be part of the game design process. If you don't want to drop $20 to join the beta community, you can still have your ideas heard in the forums (which are frequented by the devs).

p.s. the website doesn't look very appealing because it's the old one. I've seen the new one and it's a LOT better. They just aren't able to release it yet.

no, you pay to pre-order their service. They plan to release an MMO every few months, and then expand on the popular ones for the community. It's a rather neat idea, except they have no prior design skills, and therefore have taken like a year longer than expected to start
I won a beta slot, although I am not holding my breath anymore... especially since MMORPG.com has sent no information about the beta slots since the contest...
The company has some nice ideas... whether or not they'll last is another factor entirely
well... i suppose the $20 helps a bit. I'm actually considering to contribute.
They have currently stopped taking preorders. They said they would start it back up at a later date.

i'm kind of disappointed in them as a whole. Not because they didn't finish on time, but because they kept pushing how awesome and fast they would be, and that they could do this all so great... then switched engines and decided that everything was now screwed for the next x amount of years. They're just like the Trials of Ascention team... awesome ideas that will never see the light of day
And yeah, whoever designed their website obviously had never designed a website before
Even though my development company has never actually made a game before, we are very good and will have an MMO out in 1 year with 18 playable races, full siege warfare, complex political system, cutting edge graphics (screenshots coming soon), bloodlines and an advanced physics engine. Ohh and it will be the largest MMO in existance. Oh and you can also fly on 35 different types of beasts including dragons and pigs. Yes, pigs.
We have the BEST IDEAS of any MMO Development company. Ever. We will be accpeting paypal, visa, MC etc. in a month for pre-orders and will give those people priority when beta starts this fall.
Please stay tuned.
and your site will be called MMO Axis (as opposed to mmo center...) yes, mwahaha, you are a genius
Apparently they don't listen unless you paid to Beta, and even then according to various Beta testers, they respond by locking your posts.
Read more about this in the Chronicle forum.
