As mentionedpreviously, the Third Telling of A Tale inthe Desert, a community-oriented MMORPG set in ancient Egypt, haslaunched. A “telling” of ATITD is a unique iteration of the game with aneventual endpoint, each adding new features, skills, and technology. There’s afree 24-hour trial period for new players, and the community site has a player’s guide,Wiki, and message board (which includes aLinux clientsupport board).

Here a some notes from a recent newsletter:

A Tale in the Desert III includes over one hundred changes andimprovements to ATITD 2, but some of the most notable are:

• A new Events System that integrates Tests, Laws, Developer Chat Sessions,special contests, and other happenings
• Principles – miniature versions of each Test. Complete each to increaseyour Level and open new paths
• The Discipline of Harmony
• Unlockable Everything: Skills, Technologies, and now even Tests.
• Regional Chat

My goal with Tale 3 is to have the entire game feel like a giant, socialadventure-puzzle to be explored, dissected, and finally mastered. Afast-paced game. A game rich enough so that everyone from the most hardcoreplayer, to the most casual, can carve out a meaningful role.
