Jim was so taken with the robotic land-grab MMO Perpetuum that he wrote the world's bestest diary about his time in it. It was spread over five months, which just goes to show how much it grabbed him. That was in 2012, and the game is not only still around, but is about to land on Steam. With a potential pile of new customers, the…
One of the issues that faced sandbox robot MMO Perpetuum was the frequent accusation that its world was simply too small. That's one of a number of issues being addressed in a major patch tomorrow, which constitutes an expansion called Gamma Frontier. Aside from vastly expanding its territory, with twenty-four new islands (there are currently twelve), the game will be introducing player-built structures and bases,…
Feature: Where lasers roam free
Which is an ongoing diary of the RPS robo-corporation's exploits in sandbox robot-war MMO, Perpetuum. Last month we captured an island. And this month we lost it again.
Feature: Tricolour Robot War
Perpetuum, the offbeat sandbox robot MMO that we've been playing since January, is going through a bit of a strange time, and things aren't looking so rosy for our exploding robots.
Feature: Robots On The Horizon
A record of RPS' ongoing adventures in robot-MMO, Perpetuum. To find us in-game grab the trial, and then find chat channel RPS. So, we captured an outpost.
Feature: Zoom, Boom
Okay, let me say up front that RPS is running a Perpetuum corporation. If you want to try out some sandbox MMO robo-action you should grab the 15-day trial from here and join the chat channel "RPS" in-game. With that over, let's talk about what's happened in our first month in this peculiar little MMO, the trials and tribulations of brutal PvP, and our first…
Feature: Rise Of The Robots?
It's been over a year since I first dabbled in obscure indie MMO Perpetuum, and I decided that since PvP and territory war had been overhauled, it was time to go back. Click onwards for some thoughts on the game as it stands now, and for a report of the activities of the RPS corporation's first week in the game.
Update: Codes now gone. Hello! I'm afraid RPS service isn't going to resume properly until Wednesday, because we're all on holiday and stuff. In the meantime I have a small competition for people who like glacially-slow sandbox MMOs! Yes, you know who you are. I've been messing around in Perpetuum (think Eve Online with robots) and the devs have given me some 30-day timecodes to…
Ambitious and beautiful robot MMO Perpetuum is one year old this week, and to celebrate it has received its biggest expansion so far, Intrusion 2.0, which adds a graphical overhaul, new robots, animation fixes and an improved support system. Most interesting to me, however, are the improvements to the PvP game: "Our latest expansion allows corporations to start building their empire by letting them to…
Robot-battling MMO Perpetuum has expanded and evolved a bit. Avatar Creations are keen to show off these new features by offering fifteen days to everyone, including fifteen days of game time added to the account of everyone who previously signed up to play. The game has six new islands to explore, three of which are open to PvP. The full breakdown of the expansion details…
Sandbox robo-MMO Perpetuum is launching on the 25th of November. It's in open beta at the moment, so anyone can drop in and check it out, but Avatar Creations have also supplied us with a dozen one-month time codes for some of you to play for a free for a month after launch. Want one? If so, you can email us here with an explanation…
Sandboxy robot MMO Perpetuum is now in open beta, and Avatar Creations have announced some details for early access purchases of the game. For €8.95/$9.95 players in the beta will be able to start playing a week before the game launches proper (getting 37 days access), as well as getting some "extension point" bonuses. More interestingly, the game has had a graphical overhaul, has a…

Perpetuum is to hit open beta, and that will happen on the 18th of October. Perpetuum is an extremely interesting project, for a variety of reasons. Developed by Hungary-based indie outfit Avatar Creations, it's the first MMO I've seen that tries to take what Eve Online did and do something useful with it. Avatar Creations are keen to distance themselves from Eve of course, and…
Here and there RPS folks have been asking about Perpetuum Online, the Hungarian robo-MMO that is currently in closed beta. No doubt by now a few of you have made it onto that beta, too. I've been on there for a while, and I've been intrigued by what I've found: a constantly evolving sandbox MMO that is more reminiscent of Eve that anything else, and…
Remember we talked about how there was an MMO that was basically Eve with robots? It's called Perpetuum Online, and I only went and wrote about it for Eurogamer. The biggest difference, of course, is that Perpetuum is not set in space, and has terrain. There are not spaceships, but robots. Some are a little stompy, others skittering, all armed as you see fit. The…
RPS chum RoBurky spotted this the other day: Perpetuum Online, which is a robot MMO being developed by a Hungarian studio, Avatar Creations. Nothing too unusual there, except the design of the game looks rather intriguing. If you take a look at the feature list then the game seems to be far closer to Eve Online than any other MMO out there. In fact, taking…
