Massively asks why not Frontier 1859?

"I’m wondering if I’m the only one who thinks such a setting is fertile ground for the AAA MMORPG treatment. I say AAA because an indie game based on the early American frontier has been languishing in lack-of-funding hell for seven years now, and it makes me sad to think that no established company has the gumption to pony up for a massive excursion to the land of six shooters and well-worn cowpokes. With Rockstar’s game tearing up the sales charts, there is clearly an interest in the subject matter." -Jef Reahard, Massively

Two worlds collide in the struggle to survive.
Image

From the perspective of hope, Emigrants imagined the Frontier as a place to start a new life. From the perspective of home, Native Americans were here first.  Right or wrong, the decisions people made helped them survive the hardships of Frontier life, but in that process, two lifestyles became extinct - the way of the Native American Indian, and the way of the Wild Frontier.

Frontier 1859 is a virtual world proposal with a unique social role-playing model set in the North American Wilderness during a period of expansion, conflict, and settlement.

Choose a heritage, roll a character, and begin a journey into a progressively-changing real-time 3D world with enriching character development based upon Survival skill, Cooperation, Reputation, and Grit. It's a world where animals migrate and bed-down. Seasons change, and people change.

Work together to build and expand diverse cultural camps into frontier towns and tribal communities. Establish collective values, and face the role playing challenges of frontier life. Learn services and trades, carve out a homestead, raise a family, climb a social ladder, or engage in entrepreneurial, political or military ventures.
