    Features



    Persistent universe

    Every player is a part of one server, one scene, one storyline.



    Formable planet surface

    The whole terrain can be formed by military, agricultural or even aesthetic aspects.



    Dynamically changing vegetation

    The flora is changing perpetually, its parameters can be modified by the player, so even huge plantations - containing useful raw materials - can be established.



    Time-based character development

    No need for 'grinding'. You can be qualified despite you're not playing, since players get XP even if they are not logged in.



    Active raw material simulation

    The position of liquid materials change during exploitation. Controlled algorythms manage the respawn of raw materials.



    Real-time, asynchronous combat

    No turns, therefore no time restrictions of combat moves.



    More than 30 various robots, hundreds of equipment items

    Robots can be specialized in several kind of operations or tactics. The only barrier is your imagination.



    Self-controlling economy

    Exploitation, refinement and even manufacturing are all controlled by the players. The speed and efficiency of fabrication processes can be developed throughout the game.



    Social networks

    A complex corporation founding and management system is available for players, with additional communication systems in- and outside the game.



    Career centre

    Several missions can be undertaken on the numerous Syndicate departments. These varied missions provide challenge for every sort of specialties.

     

     

    Umm Iam not sure, but whats makes these features stand out from what other sandbox mmorpgs offer?

    They basically remade EVE except I couldn't play for more than an hour because it's horrendously slow and sloppy.  EVE has one og the best interface designs ever and it needs it.. the gameplay isn't overly involving most the time, but Perp basically takes the EVE formula, and then removes the good parts.

     

    But the robots are cool...

    can't agree.

     

    surely eve is more advanced but perpetuum is in quite a good state for a freshly released game. as much i love eve and played it for years yet pvp was just too much about gate camping overall..i just could never go active in eve again after playing darkfall where i experienced hunting the pray, make use of terrain and the like :P

     

    + NO LOCAL CHAT "radar" :P

     

    i think these 2 facts make perpetuum more superior for me as you very likely will have to roam for pvp and can make use of the terrain more and don't have a local "radar" chat. may not sound like much but for me these 2 things killed eve over the time :P
