Simcast acquires Third Simulator

The SimCast group, one of the PvP games under development in Second Life, today announced the acquisition of a third sim to its combat arena — this one owned by team member Mystic Templar. In a press release, SimCast CEO Prong Thetan said that new combat simulator is named Midgard, and is positioned between the SimCast and Bedford simulators (the Bedford simulator is owned by Herald Publisher Urizenus Sklar).
This is good news for the SimCast project, which like other PvP projects in Second Life has seen its share of setbacks. Most recently the team lost its key scriptor, a role now being filled by Mystic Templar and Grim Hathor. With the addition of the new sim, the team has scrapped much of the content thus far developed and is rebuilding with a medieval town vs. town theme, with Midgard being a kind of no man’s land combat zone. The project is thus still two months away from beta testing.
