Life In Blue Mars

Beach City!

Wow. Just where to start when talking about Beach City? Beach City is perhaps the most expansive city currently able to be explored and is one that definitely should be explored because of the features that it boasts which give you a preview into the future of Blue Mars. First of all, upon entering Beach City it becomes obvious that the devs who worked on this city took the time to take detail into account. The area is very well built and I can tell that it will be a popular spot once Blue Mars is live. It is an absolute must for anyone who is coming into Beach City to head over to the hotel to check out the demo apartment that has been set up there. The Apartment that is on display within the hotel gives users a chance to experience what owning an apartment would be like and a chance to use the tools provided to you within one. The functionality within the apartment was very smooth and even the most inexperienced users will be able to grasp it. Although future functionality of the apartments is unknown, if scripted items are allowed to be used I could forsee a lively set of functions that one would be able to do within their apartments. Especially with the HUD being flash based, playing games within BM in ones own apartment may not be so farfetched. Another feature that one must check out is the shop that is open in Beach City. Although still apparently in beta form the functionality that is provided by the shop is going to be excellent when made a reality. Shops in Blue Mars will completely blow shops in any other virtual world out of the water. The ability to preview what you are buying in three dimensions before you decide to buy it is a great idea and something that will assist the consumer in picking the right product for them. All in all, the experience that I had within Beach City was very pleasant and only left me wishing that the next patches would come out faster! Beach City is a must-see destination within Blue Mars.

Coming Soon: Pictures!
