so not excited from what's been shown.
also, i hardly see how they can make their current gameplay -as shown in vids- fit a MMO.
i can't, really. may feel okay with 2 chars on the screen, but how bout 10? 20? 50? yeah, but no, i just don't buy it.

it's Kickstarter funded:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...nline?ref=live
7 days to go, only 50% by now ...
one thing really makes me shudder : "... Shadowrun Online - is a cross-platform, online PC, Mac, Linux(see FAQ), iOS/iPad, Android Tablet and Ouya based game ..."

Huh? How many shadowrun games are under development?
Weren't the rights for the IP bought back by one of the original creators and are being used for Shadowrun Returns?

I chipped in to the one from Hare Brained Schemes but this one just doesn't appeal to me.
Sir Robin, the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot.
Who had nearly fought the Dragon of Angnor.
Who had almost stood up to the vicious Chicken of Bristol.
And who had personally wet himself, at the Battle of Badon Hill.

Just to clarify: Shadowrun Online isn't funded yet. Shadowrun Returns by HBS is funded already. There are five days left on the Shadowrun Online Kickstarter with quite some money to go. If you have any interest in Cyberpunk, DarkFantasy and/or Shadowrun at all, I would suggest checking it out at shadowrun.com/kickstarter . Also, have you seen the new update with even more swag and the endorsements by Jason Hardy and Tom Dowd (big names for Shadowrun)?

Oh I can't wait! Shadowrun on the Snes is one of my all time favorite games.

The KS still needs some major support sadly, so if you have some money at your disposal, you might at least go for the $25 tier, saving you $14,99 compared to the release-prize.

Shadowrun Returns will have missions that tie to the old SNES and Genesis games. It's fully funded and due out next year sometime.

Years, isn't right. There have been other projects though that were dealing with a MMO based on Shadowrun. However, this one got the official licensing. They will share some plotelements with Shadowrun Returns, too, to form a united and unique Shadowrun Universe experience.
The funding so far that went into the development of the Shadowrun Online prototype (and licensing the license) was mostly borrowed by friends and family by the way. Hopefully the Kickstarter will succeed. I can't wait to play a multiplayer game based on Shadowrun

Yeah, October 2011 (Shadowrun Online), I misremembered the timeline entirely.

Yep, October 2011 sounds about correct.
Have you seen the new update btw? It features new reward-tiers and the character creation in Shadowrun Online. It'll be a point-buy-system, just like in the PnP-original. And we reached over 300.000$ now. Nice! Four days to go, show some support if you can.

To keep you guys over here updated as well: The last 48 hours have started now. Money pours in more quickly now, but it's still uncertain whether the Kickstarter will fail or succeed. If you thought about backing the project and find yourself in a position to be able to do so - please go ahead and back it at shadowrun.com/kickstarter . If it fails, you won't loose any money, if it succeeds we'll not 'only' get one but two great Shadowrun games in 2013. AWESOME!

The last 13 hours are running now with about $44,000 to go. I'll, sadly, be gone those last 13 hours, but there are plenty of nice people over at shadowrun.com/kickstarter to chat with and get information from. Every dollar counts!
