Requiem: Bloodymare Launch & Prelaunch Plans

Gravity Interactive announces they are set to launch Requiem: Bloodymare on June 19, but that premium accounts in the M-rated free-to-play MMORPG will be able to access the game three days before that:

MARINA DEL REY, Calif. – June 6, 2008 – Requiem: Bloodymare will bring a new era of mature horror to the MMO space with its commercial launch. Players that pre-order subscriptions will be able to begin playing on June 16, three days before gamers using the free-to-play option.

This M-rated horror title brings a new option to mature MMO players looking for an alternative to the standard game fare. In addition to the controversial content, Requiem: Bloodymare’s gameplay challenges conventional MMO approaches.

Character development is not restricted to just choosing a class and skills. Players will use the DNA system to experiment with their own genetic code. Ghoulish experiments with DNA will allow characters to obtain traits that nature never intended.

Players will also not be tied down to just the skills open to their class. Using the Beast Possession system they will be able to transform into some of the most violent and grotesque monsters they encounter. Regardless of initial class, players are free to choose between monsters that rip prey to shreds with their bare claws to ones that call up dark magical forces that rot the flesh off their enemies’ bones.

The world is a deadly place in Requiem. When day turns to night the world decays in a Nightmare-ish landscape and terrifying monsters come to life. Imbued with unholy power, they are many times more powerful than the daylight denizens.

“We’ve put together a title that is going to turn the MMO world on its ear. Requiem: Bloodymare is, quite simply, one of the best free-to-play MMOs out there,” said Jay H. Choi, vice president, Gravity Interactive.

The game will be free-to-play with two levels of subscriptions. Players who purchase a Basic or Premium package for Requiem: Bloodymare will receive an exclusive 3-day early access pass into the game and a special experience bonus for the early period. Players must purchase the monthly package from June 5 to June 12 to be eligible.

The basic and premium packages cost $7.99/month and $14.99/month, respectively. The packages also include faster character development, increased item drops, bonus points from Item Mall purchases as well as enhanced chat functionality.

To play the game, go to www.playrequiem.com, create your account and download the client.

It's still going but man, if my experience the last couple of days is indicative of the final product, they've got a loooooong way to do. My character is stuck at level 9 because one of the quests he's supposed to complete to be able to advance beyond that is bugged and isn't available. There's also huge lag issues and problem with characters that randomly stop attacking during battles. A lot of these issues tend to disappear when a game releases but if these don't, it won't last long.
