Interested in running around a browser-based MMO fantasy world filled with over 22 races? Yes? Then you need to get over to Earth Eternal's website and sign up for their recently announced closed beta test!
Earth Eternal is an an MMO that's all about what happens when humanity ceases to exist and the Earth is roamed by beasts of myth once more. It's also free to play and will run on almost any computer thanks to a client that runs inside of the browser, similar to Cartoon Network's FusionFall. Players will find a wide variety of features available, including multi-classing abilities, customizable housing in the form of "groves," and a design emphasis on small groups rather than huge raids.
There's still no release date announced for Earth Eternal, but we're guessing that with the closed beta happening so soon, there can't be much time left before the release date is fully confirmed.

Colin, I'm really disappointed you tagged this article "furry." I know the stigma is never going to go away but I expect better from massively.

Sorry if it offends, but we used it on the prior article about Earth Eternal. I really don't see anything offensive about it personally, as I have many friends who happen to be furs.
Not really sure what else to say about this. Used it on prior articles, and it hasn't caused a stir until this one. My deepest apologies.

I think the issue, Colin, is that this game wasn't made by furs with furs in mind, and you guys have made a mistake that has tarnished the reputation of the game and it's developers as "that furry game", when in-fact it's meant to be a kid friendly game with cute animal avatars, which the story draws upon in an allegorical sense.
I mean, I'm a furry, but I'm also aware of the developer's track-record for creating evoking worlds and often have some animal races involved (see: Achaea), because using animals is a good literary/visual tool.
Bonk.

I've considered everything and have decided to remove the tag.
My deepest apologies if this has offended anyone, as that was certainly not the intent with that tag. It was a descriptor of artistic style, and not a descriptor of content. Earth Eternal looks like a great game for everyone, and I'm certainly interested in what Sparkplay has to offer with their game.

Err, getting back to the topic at hand...
Thanks for the notice, Massively (Colin). EE looks clever and different and is one of the very few F2P games I've seen of late that looks even remotely interesting (versus the WoW-clone wannabes or the many F2P games that look like they were all produced by the same Asian MMO knockoff production company).
EE seems at least worth a try. I hope I get selected for the closed beta.

I'm just glad its a furry game that is also PG-rated.
This is pretty much the first time since the Albedo comic of the 80s that Furry anything hasn't been x-rated. Some of us furry fans are -NOT- pron-junkies and actually want something friendly for all ages.
That said, their community managers are going to have a heck of time policing all the cyber that's going to break out until people realize they need to take that to Second Life or somewhere...

The game may not be made by / for furries - whatever those are, but it is a furry game.
Furry is not just a word for a type of x-rated animation. It refers to any use animal-anthropomorphic characters, and in particular when such use is the or a major theme.
If you make a game where you run around playing humanoids with animal heads and possibly also paws and tails - you've got a furry game.
