Fury challenge extended

PC News | They're simply throwing money away.
Auran has announced via a press release that the Fury Challenge beta has been extended and the prize pool for the challenge has topped $2 million dollars. The Open Beta event will run over 4 weekends from September 14 to October 7.

“We want to put players on notice that Fury is serious fun and we have set our goal at nothing less than being the Number one PvP game in the world,” said Tony Hilliam, Auran CEO and Executive Producer on Fury. “By putting together over $2M in prizes for our Open Beta event, I think we’ve started to show that we’re already a contender for the title."

"In a market where the big names and big publishers get most of the attention, we figured we had to do something a bit different to be noticed,” said Brian Cooke, Auran Director of Marketing. “Fury is a competitive game, and so putting together this amazing prize pool for our players should start to turn a few heads in our direction. From there, we’re confident our game will keep them excited.”

“During Fury Challenge we’re capping player Ranks at an easily obtainable level,” said Adam Carpenter, Fury Creative Director. “Since this is an Open Beta event, it is critical that new players become competitive quickly while avoiding the complexities that a max level, fully unlocked character would bring. This ensures the Challenge is all about player skill and teamwork, not time played, and this is what Fury’s gameplay and design is all about.”

I'm not really big into MMORPGs due to the massive amount of time you need to commit, but has anyone actually played Fury? A friend of mine tried the Beta and said it's really lack lustre. Could anyone testify as to how successful Fury has the potential to be in the future based on what they have played so far?

Hi there.

Right up front, I am the lead content designer for Fury. I just wanted to point out that Fury isn't a MMORPG. Fury is a MMOPvP game. I guess it is best described at playing a first person shooter with 3rd person MMO-style combat. That's it.

As far as the Beta goes, it is free. Try it.

We have actually been holding back with some of the updates because we don't want to compromise the Fury Challenge beta event going on right now, but we will have another server up pretty soon where you can see the difference between the Fury Challenge build and what will be the release build.

Thanks for the heads up Joseph, I actually tried to sign up for the beta on two occasions and never got any replies back, so that's pretty much what held me back from initially trying it.

Speaking of Auran, what was your involvement in Night Watch? Im playing it right now, and contrary to public opinion, im really enjoying it.
