From their blurb: <blockquote> The Lazarus Project is a mix of a purely social roleplaying game, with elements of staff-oriented storytelling and automated game missions. In Alpha Colony, scientists study the human lifespan, death, and cryogenic sciences. *You* have been created to help them test several new breakthrough theories. Taking the role of a newly grown citizen, you can seek out proper employment, become involved in scientific experiments/research, undertake exploration in the gameworld, or enjoy social roleplaying with other online players. </blockquote> This might be the first Skotos title that I'm really interested in playing. I tried playing The Eternal City a while ago, but had trouble with their Java client (sadly they won't allow you to use your own MUD client).
