''Skyrates'' is a browser based massively multiplayer online game with a focus on sporadic play in a persistent world. It is currently in open beta. The development team was initially composed of students from the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University. The game allows players choose an anthropomorphic character and purchase a variety of aircraft to fly to different areas called Skylands, taking part in combat and trading as they do so. There are currently over 19,500 registered characters as of October 2012, and there are generally between 30 and 200 people online at any one time. Players in Skyrates progress through the game mostly through purchase of planes, upgrades and guns for their planes. Players may compare their progress via leaderboards, or a system to search players based on their various stats. As it is in development Skyrates often resets all player's progress with a new version whenever the game has changed substantially. Skyrates is currently version 2.7, the last version update having occurred February 2012.〔(The Skyrates Forum )〕 Inspired in part by ''TaleSpin'', a 1990s-era Disney cartoon series, Skyrates is set in a world recovering from an apocalyptic war which reduced the remaining viable landmass to a collection of scattered islands. Ripped from the ground and cast adrift in the sky through the use of "unobtainium", these Skylands carried with them the last remnants of civilization. Now split into several color-coded factions, the descendants of these survivors travel and trade between the Skylands and are preyed upon en route by air pirates operating from smaller, unmapped "skylets". == Skyrates Devs == * Howard Braham (Designer, Coder) aka Marquis de Bordeaux * Bryan Cash (Designer, Coder, Morale Officer) aka Chesterfield Taft * Jeremy Gibson (Designer, Coder, Combat Specialist, Flash Guru) aka Archon * Chuck Hoover (Designer, Producer, Artist, Skyland Architect) aka Icarus * Henry Clay Reister (Designer, Coder, Script Monkey) aka Henri Clay * Phil Light (Statistician) aka phil * Seth Shain (Designer, Producer, Whip Bearer) aka Archimedes * Sam Spiro (Designer, Coder, Server Lord) aka Thradius * Chris Daniel (Artist, Character Designer) aka Third * Calvin November (Community Relations) aka Calvin 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skyrates」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
