UK Guardian's Emily Gera on Playing Ever, Jane, the Jane Austen-Themed MMO from a Linden Lab Alum

Here's Emily Gera's whimsical and fascinating UK Guardian feature on Ever, Jane, the Jane Austen-themed MMO lead developed by Linden alum Judy Tyer after her successful 2013 Kickstarter. It includes some quotes from members of the passionate Ever, Jane player base who posted comments to NWN last week.

"I was amazed at how active and organized the community already is," Emily tells me. "The game is only in beta and there are weekly community gatherings and regular players, veterans of over a year. I was really welcomed in by the players in a way I hadn't anticipated - I've never experienced a nicer MMO community."

The beta by the way is free for download here. Emily's advice for new players:

"Be forgiving. It's a prototype and rough around the edges. Sink a bit of time into it - there's really interesting gameplay anchoring everything."

Emily should have added that you also need to avoid confusing Jane Eyre with Jane Austen ;)

Good article, very interesting MMO, I hope it does well.
