Infinity is an open-ended game in which you control a spaceship throughought the entire galaxy, trying to make a name for yourself. You connect to an online server on which thousands of people are playing, 24/7. The game does not stop when you log off, but continues to evolve: it is a persistent universe. The game mechanics do not emphasize any particular gameplay style. Combat, trade, exploration, social relationships.. you are free to choose your own carrier path and goals. The only limit is your own imagination!
Infinity is not a traditional role playing game. Although all players are expected to act in concordance with their avatar's motivations, there are no classes or skills to restrict your choices. Combat between spaceships is in true real-time, and the outcome is determined by your own intelligence and reflexes. Forget turn-based action and experience the great excitement of a first person experience!
Using procedural techniques, the game universe has been designed to be huge and realistic. There are billions of solar systems and planets, each unique and awaiting to be discovered by a player. Coherent scales and distances are used, orbits of celestial bodies are correctly modeled and change continuously, allowing you to attend a sunrise on the moon of a giant planet, for instance.

Let's see if this one gonna make it :) ... (I wish the best)
*watching*
WHAT MINIMUM 512...i...a.aw.fwa.f.wa.fwa.fwf.aw.f.fw.f.w.fwaf !
Sounds great, i'll be mod watching and praying this will be pulled of!
Its possible, we use a lot of smart techniques(LOD's for example), it looks 'havy' but it isnt. ;)
Minimum system requirements:
CPU speed: Intel Pentium IV 2 Ghz or AMD Athlon 1500+ or equivalent
RAM size: 512 MB
Video card: a graphics card supporting pixel shader 2.0 (ATI Radeon 9500+, NVidia Geforce FX+)
Disk space: at least 2 GB
Internet connection: 56k modem
Operating system: Windows 2000 or later
*These minimum requirements are only estimated and will probably change to something
more accurate as the development progresses.
Infinity is a next-gen game and will be in development for at least 2 extra years.
OH man! How is any computer supposed to handle THIS?
Woah, Awesome idea if you can pull it off. This is really the only rpg I would be truly interested in.
Your comments, suggestions and questions are always welcome!
No, you can do whatever you want.
Quote from the 'about' section:
Infinity is like a modern mmo version of Elite.
