Divergence: Online is the MMORPG that began as the spiritual successor to Pre-CU Star Wars Galaxies but has since grown into its own living, breathing universe.

Divergence brings back the golden years of MMORPGs and pushes the envelope even further than before to new extents.

The Divergence is a truly open gaming experience, and not for everyone.


Divergence means hardcore

Open PVP & Lootable Bodies

Open-PVP everywhere. No exceptions. If you don't like the way that alien is checking out your girl, put a bullet in his face. Just be prepapred to lose faction with the establishments bouncers who with enough ruckus may elect to toss your rear end out.
Lootable Corpses. You won't have an inventory full of thousands of ridiculous objects. All objects have a mass equivalent and slow you down based on your physical ability to carry loads. Don't carry your valuables on you!
Limited Permanent-Death. The most controversial of the controversial. Cloning in Divergence is common but not guaranteed. You'll need clone insurance, a few clones in storage, to be within the sphere of a cloning beacon and a race which can actually clone in order to avoid starting over on your character after death. Death means something, and thus life means something. Dancers, don't despair. Most NPC and player towns have their own cloning spheres.

Player housing and Cities

There are almost no instanced areas in Divergence. The world is so massive with so much free space to roam around in that players can start a player city virtually anywhere on the planets surface. But be certain to build defenses!

A modifiable World

Working in hand with our crafting system, there are a multitude of ways the player can affect the actual game world itself. Use a personal drill or drop a mining rig to drill down in your absence, or build up the terrain to a flat section perfect for putting that house on top of. If I were you, I wouldn't leave that equipment lying around too long though, privateers are all about. Better safe than sorry, put a turret near your rig! Bandits won't dare mess with your stuff if they could die and lose their own gear in the process. Unless of course, they have courage.

I tried logging in last night, and was told at character creation that I didn't contribute enough for any race but Synthetic. Then my character loaded into an endless black void with my hud. A great experience all around.
