Theres a new MMO in development by gamers who are tired of the everyday grind. Alot of people feel that this is the next SWG -

Please track this game, since your tracking Hellgate, which I feel is a single player game and not a MMO game.

Are you serious? The screen shots make this look like a home-made game.
Time will tell, but now you shouldn't even think of tracking it imo.
Sure the features promised look great. But I wouldn't track these features for a .. "home-made game"

Although it does beg the question. What is the minimum that needs to be made in order to have a respectible game thats worth considering. A company worth X million? Reaching a certain player capacity? Just good graphics?

Expect to hear from SOE's lawyers. Between that, and the screenshots, I don't even think this is an original work, more so than a couple kids with a copy of an SWG emu.

Now why would SOE care? The features from this game is nothing like anything in the game garage of SOE. Wich means that there's barely anything in the features of Zuroth that is features of a SOE game.. the likeness would be to a game that SOE scrapped, otherwise the game has just as many MMORPG type features as WOW... Will WOW sue because Zuroth is a "smalltime company" making a game with MMORPG features?
Please don't tell me you don't see the glaring similarities? I'm not going to connect all the dots for you, but good lord, man, they're right there for you, in plain sight.
Because god knows I do have to connect the dots...
If it's not patently obvious by this point, well, then there isn't any point in continuing.
Next SWG? No.
Crappy home-made game? No.
Something in between, perhaps. When it comes out, it should be added to the list. However, I don't think it's worth tracking.

The notion that graphics, or anything else for that matter, are anywhere near as important as gameplay/fun is so utterly ridiculous that anyone who shares such a view should be placed in an asylum.

Well, I know of no SOE game that has this.. do you? If so, where can I play said game?
Now, if I could play said game at SOE's, I guess, maybe SOE's lawyers could ask about.... But I fear that it's not the case at all, since there clearly does NOT exist a game at SOE's that has most of the features Zurot promises.
Not subtle, or well played, sir.
Now I know you're just trolling. Or you're just (censored to appease the Draconian Moderation)
Or...
Perhaps you're being wickedly subtle, and I missed it as it's so far from the norm around here...
Hmmm.
Edit: Checked your post history. I see what you did there.
My point still stands, however. It's a subpar knock off made with an SWG Emu.

Just stripping classes and professions from one mmorpg and putting them into a new one, isn't really a violation of any kind of licence. Otherwise Soe would have sued the ass off Blizzard before now.
Also, just posting a list of classes and professions in order to entice people to track an mmo just isn't enough. People need visual evidence that this isnt going to be just another MMO which is gripping onto the tails of other, already established, MMO games.
Those screenshots really do nothing to appeal to any audience. The first thing I thought when I saw the ground textures and modelling is "Hmmmm this reminds me of the outdated graphics of the Anarchy Online / Neocron engines". They are nothing to get excited about and certainly not worth tracking over just yet.
Due to previous experiences with recently released MMO's, many people no longer run to the first MMO they see that spouts a long list of features. Many have learned that what devs say they CAN do and what they ACTUALLY can put into a game are two completely independant things.
Post some links to screenshots showing actual features and you may get an audience.

ROFLMAO! The ground looks like it's covered with a cheap moth-eaten blanket. Let this game share space with Darkfall. They can be vapor-twins.
When is Zuroth Online expected to be released?
At this time, we cannot tell.
