Description

In this sci-fi MMORPG/FPS set in the 24th century, you play on five huge cities on Earth, 20 colonies in outer space and two other special places.

You can choose to join one of ten organizations and for example be a soldier for the F.D.C. or a law enforcer of the L.E.D.. Climb the ranks as you fight for law and order or be on the opposite side as a clan member on a profitable criminal path. PvP is unique here in that it's up to the players to police themselves for the most part. Also, you can join a company as a trader, miner or producer to control the complex economic system. Elementium is the form of currency in-game and can be acquired through sale of materials, mission rewards, and mineral extractor units located at clan-owned bases.

The ultimate goal is to develop your character (Combatant, Commander, Medic or Trader) to gain the most wealth, power, or social status. The game world is an ever changing one, as new story arcs are regularly introduced by the game’s staff and the balance of power in each clan shifts depending on the skills and luck of players within.

It also uses the first-ever player generated mission system, where highly ranked players create missions which are split and handed down through the hierarchy. Your ability to shoot, bargain, be political and make good deals will make a difference.

Trivia

Face of Mankind had a long beta process with closed Beta testing starting in April 2004, and Open Beta starting in February 2005. The second phase of open beta testing which brought about the use of the Jupiter engine and new character models started in December 2005 until March 23, 2006. The official game portal was hit by a series of DDoS attacks during the month of May 2007 which made it unavailable to players. The initial perpetrator, an English teenager upset with actions in the game's forum, was eventually arrested after an investigation by the Scotland Yard Computer Crime Unit but further attacks also occurred. They were cited as playing a part in the eventual closure of Face of Mankind as a financial venture on November 2, 2007.
