    Any ideas what the above is? Or what that 'Phrase' could possibly be? If you get it incorrect, you are presented with a brief error message, reading 'WHAT ARE YOU? TRY IT AGAIN!'.

    The obvious would be clan warfare related activities.

    The girl on the left looks very much like girl on the splash screen for the MWO site, only with a hoodie on lol.

    CONGRATULATIONS!
    Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Bryan Ekman, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Piranha Games. 14 years ago I founded Piranha Games with my business partner Russ Bullock to build exciting and engaging games that we love to play. Piranha is best known for our latest endeavor — MechWarrior Online, an online free-to-play giant robot combat game. MechWarrior Online's incredibly successful Founder's Program proved that we can work directly with our backers to help build a game for the community.

    On Sep 9th, 2014 at 12:00PM PDT we invite you to join us for the reveal of our next project. It's a big one, it's going to be the largest production ever undertaken here at Piranha, and we want YOU to be part of it.

    It's epic, it's online, it's sci-fi.

    Just below you will find a registration form. Filling out this form will register you for our new game and grant you an exclusive in-game item when the finished product goes live. By registering now, you can also name your Pilot – yes that's right, pilot. Ok, no more spoilers…

    I look forward to the future, and our journey to the stars.

    Sincerely,
    Bryan Ekman

    Title needs to be changed. This has nothing to do with MWO other than being produced by the same company.

    To be honest, I don't see why this is a good move at this time. This looks like its going to be in the same genre as Star Citizen. There is already a massive following with tons of fans that have donated money to it already. PGI seems to have misunderstood the strengths of their own product. The largest contributor to MWO being a 'successful' game is the Battletech/MechWarrior brand that they didn't build. Most people that know who PGI is are MechWarrior fans. They are not PGI fans that would follow them to a different project.

    I think they're just jealous of how many people they lost to Star Citizen :D *coughmichaelcough*

    or after releasing CW, they finally add some really good extra content like:

    And many other things... not talking about Mechs, Weapons and stuff.. more about the mechanics and the gameplay.

    - I feel like it takes half an eternity to kill a mech, even with a good punch.
    - Heat is a bigger issue, since heatrising will make you slower and your hud starts malfunctioning.
    - Water is life... to counter heat issues. More noticeable than in MWO.
    - Flamers DO overheat you.
    - Getting a massive hit makes your Mech stumble.
    - Exploding engines give you splash damage.
    - locking targets is not as easy as in MWO. (I used to play MWO with Joystick... now I play MWO Style (mouse)... maybe I just need to get used to it.)


    And a lot more....

    Wlel, right now I enjoy Solaris. :)

    Actually, the whole concept for Transverse is essentially Eve Online and it sounds like a blatant ripoff.

    Not good PGI, not good at all.

    Only connection I can see is 4 Empires. The remnants is a nice idea as they've created their own opponents.

    What alliance are you with out of interest in Eve Online bart2o?

    Well, actually now that i think of it being an open-ended sandbox space sim advertised as "build your own career" makes it only similar, but this whole cloning and immortality thing is a straight ripoff. AFAIR Star Citizen is permadeath, which also makes it more interesting IMO.

    I was in an unallied corp, few years ago. Mostly did wormhole PVE on a corp station. Don't remember the name. And you?
