In a press release yesterday, Valve Software announced that their engine, powering Half-Life 2 and other hot titles to follow, has been chosen by Smiling Gator Productions for their new Massive Multiplayer Roleplaying Game (MMRPG) on the PC. "The Source engine is one of the gaming world's premier technologies, we are thrilled about the features it will bring to Twilight War: After the Fall," says Kingsley Montgomery, Vice President of Development at Smiling Gator Productions. "We evaluated several game engines and concluded that Valve's was the only choice for us. In addition to being a top-notch product, their support has been excellent."

Yeah, me too...when they say MMRPG I think "MMORPG" as in massively multiplayer online rpg...i think they're the same but i dunno, who knows i didnt read up on the game, (twilight war: after the fall) so that is probably why i have these questions...lol the only mmorpg ive played is star wars galaxies, but if its multiplayer then i suppose it IS online, isnt it?

There are several single player rpg games so it might not be online. Final Fantasy is single player.

OK here's our answer, :)

What is an XORG?

MMORPGFPS? FPSMMORPG? Screw it, those are too hard to pronounce! It's a new game concept, so it deserves a new acronym! "XORG" stands for Extreme Online Roleplaying Game, a hybrid between MMORPGs and FPSs. An XORG has depth, persistence, expansiveness, adrenaline pumping action, graphics detail, and realism all at the same time :)

How many people can play Twilight War at once?

Twilight War worlds can each sustain thousands. Each world is an instance of the game, and each of these instanced worlds is independent. You choose which world cluster to play in.

Look for it early 2006.

lol.. they are trying to make a new acronym. Sounds like planetside but with a good engine.
