Has anyone read about this? It's a collaboration between CCP, Reykjavik University, Massively Multiplayer Online Science, and the University of Geneva's professor Michel Mayor. It uses data from CoRoT, a European Space Agency telescope designed specifically to search for Exoplanets. Players receive in-game rewards for helping/discovering new Exoplanets. I've never played the game myself, but it's a very intriguing concept. Using the millions of gamers, and their immense computing power to advance science. How about a game that fights some disease, like cancer. You could be on defense, defending normal cells against the evil cancer monsters. Or on offense, going out to hunt down and attack the evil cancer monsters, etc. Just got me to thinking.... Usually a bad idea, rofl.
The gameplay feels quite repetitive compared to what came before. Luckily, you can buy all the rewards in the in-game store. It's impressive what they've created, but it's disappointing that it's so dull.
