Pax Dei: Fantasy style EVE?

Pax Dei (official website) is a recently (February 2023) announced sandbox MMO.

Here's the announcement:

and the initial trailer:

As someone who's been waiting for years and years for someone to iterate on the EVE Online concept, this looks very promising. Many of the leads are ex-CCP (developer of EVE) veterans.

The name refers to the "divine peace" that rules over the central part of the gameworld, where it looks like there will be little to no pvp. Outside of that center, things will become more dangerous and there will probably be no-opt-out pvp. According to the announcement, they'll be using at least some procedural generation (mixed with custom-designed areas) to generate the world.

The gameplay looks to be more actiony, as opposed to hotbar/tab target. Some clips showed reticule aiming for a bow.

If the devs' statements are accurate, all or nearly all of the structures in the world will be player-made - meaning that almost everything will be player-driven, from construction to economy and (potentially) politics.

If it sounds interesting, there's an alpha you can sign up for on their website. No idea whatsoever when the alpha will be launched.

    Hopefully they learned some lessons from Darkfall

    Reminds me of Landmark.

    New trailer:

    Doesn't really show much new though. Supposedly there's going to be some kind of early access or alpha thing this Spring?

    There's supposed to be another alpha soon, the first one was a couple months ago. It sounds like early access is how they're phrasing their beta.

    I've been following this and it seems like there's been a bit of backlash over potential in game purchases

    hopefully that gets dropped because this game looks like a ton of fun

    I don't mind them implementing a PLEX-like system. I personally don't like cash shops, even if they're just for cosmetics.

    I'm hoping for a flat fee or a monthly subscription is all
