Seed Preview

MMORPG.com has put together their own hands-on preview of Runestone’s sci-fi massively multiplayer RPG, Seed. An excerpt to follow:

Rings are similar to guilds in regular MMOs. The difference with Seed is Rings will also be a huge political influence in the game. NPCs and PCs alike will work towards getting their Ring noticed in the colony. Once election time comes, the Rings who are able to win the votes will get to decide what areas in the colony are worked on or developed. Obviously political sabotage and skullduggery will apply to game play among the Rings. Everyone has heard of the NPCs in Seed as being very active in the game. They will have mood swings, agendas and very strong interaction among players. These NPCs will be a part of your Ring as well as other players. They too get a vote in the elections and have influence on what happens in Da Vinci. When playing the Beta I did not get to see much of the Ring element to the game as I was mostly running around alone. However, Rings will have a major part role in forming the direction of the game.
