A Tale in the Desert II Goes Open Beta

Posted by simoniker on from the tres-amusant dept.

Teppy writes "Yesterday afternoon, A Tale in the Desert II launched its open beta. Sometimes called 'a strange psychology experiment', ATITD is a competitive, independently developed PC MMO game, previously covered on Slashdot, based on socialization. Windows and Linux clients are available for download from the official website. If Slashdot readers use the special code 'farmertaco' and visit a school of Art and Music, special goodies await." We've previously covered the first iteration of this unique, combat-free MMO.

    Perhaps I am old, but any online game where you can't bunny hop, strafe jump, head shot, team kill or spawn kill just doesn't feel right.

    And I don't even want to know if camping in this game involves a skill roll and tent pegs, please... :-)

      It's not the skill rolling and tent pegs thats frustrating it's being forced to eat digital smores and sing Kum-bi-ya to a six string that really starts to get to you.

    To paraphrase what Beavis and Butthead said about Radiohead:
    You have to have the bits that suck to make the cool bits seem so cool...
