EA Ships The Sims Online

Electronic Arts today announced the release of its highly anticipated PC game, The Sims Online. The Sims Online is the Internet, multi-player version of the top-selling PC game of all time, The Sims. The Sims Online is a massive virtual world created and populated by thousands of players from around the world. In this never-ending alternative reality players can be themselves or Be Somebody. Else.

This is one of the most entertaining, engaging and flat out fun games that EA has ever produced, said, Don Mattrick, president worldwide studios for Electronic Arts. I predict that a lot of people are going to skip work to play The Sims Online.

In The Sims Online, players create and control the actions of a character known as a Sim. Players enter the world with a small amount of money to spend as they wish. They can purchase their own piece of land to do with as they please or they can join with other players to create shared homes and businesses or host wild events.

Players can explore the neighborhoods around them and meet scores of other Sims along the way. Players get to know other Sims through live text chat and secret instant messages. As players type, their messages appear in speech bubbles above their Sims’ heads. Sims can also express themselves through hundreds of animations. A polka, pile drive, or a passionate kiss are just a few of the gestures available for Sims to use to convey exactly what’s on their mind.

It’s very inspirational for me to see how the original game has evolved into a vibrant online community where players can create their own world, says Will Wright, creator of The Sims. The Sims Online gives players tremendous possibilities to construct, customize and personalize a world with their imagination as their only limit.
