I want this game: Society

[Improv_Geek]

I found this article about a game called Society and I want it! What do you all think?

It’s a great idea that’s been around for years. If these guys have actually pulled it off, good for them.

But I wouldn’t buy it right out the gate. The technical and rules design issues involved in pulling this off are… how can I put this… crazy insane.

Society sounds like a very cool concept, but it’s still a game that’s got a long way to go. Stardock is still in the early stages of Society. And Wardell says that they want to take it slow, and that they’ll go through a lengthy beta process similar to that of World of Warcraft, which Blizzard tested for almost a year before shipping. That means we’ll probably see Society ship in late 2007.

I call vaporware until I see a beta.

You might be right, but I still want it
