Don't look now, but there's another MMO from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/perfect-world-entertainment">Perfect World Entertainment</a> in the works (we know, it shocks us too). <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/raiderz"><em>RaiderZ</em></a> was revealed at last year's E3, and now PWE is prepping the game for its alpha testing phase that begins on March 14th.<br />
<br />
If you missed the E3 announcement, here's the skinny: <em>RaiderZ</em> features a "responsive real-time battle system" that necessitates evading and blocking as well as striking and destroying. The game also boasts more than 350 skills and a classless advancement system designed to let players make their own way across its extensive open world.<br />
<br />
You can register for the alpha at the official <em>RaiderZ</em> website, and don't forget to take a look at the new trailer after the cut.<br />

Although classless advancement in <a href="http://www.fallenearth.com"><span style="font-style: italic;">Fallen Earth</span></a> gives players more freedom to build the characters they want and level with skills of their choice, learning how to navigate a wide-open system can be a bit daunting for even the most experienced players. With a little help from the dev team and some crib note suggestions, players can learn how to make the most of the classless advancement system.<br /><br />In <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/fallen-earth"><em>Fallen Earth</em></a>, characters may advance in rank and abilities regardless of their class or faction, and they can do so steadily. For each rank a character gains, players earn 2 AP (20 AP per level). Some APs can also be gained by completing missions, and all APs are spent however the player desires. The resulting system allows players to raise the skills and stats they think are most important for the character they play.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/04/fallen-earth-dev-journal-character-builds/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Fallen Earth dev journal: Character builds</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/04/fallen-earth-dev-journal-character-builds/">Fallen Earth dev journal: Character builds</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 04 Aug 2009 19:00:00 EST.
