NO-ELVES MOVEMENT GAINS MOMENTUM
Community-driven project brings humor to a timeless debate
ATLANTA, JUNE 8, 2009 -- Hi-Rez Studios, the developers of Global
Agenda, today recognized the Agents vs. Elves project, an on-line
community-driven initiative designed to settle once and for all a
question as old as the massive, multi-player online (MMO) gaming genre
itself: "How would a fantasy elf fair against a super agent in a
futuristic sci-fi world?"
Agents vs. Elves is better known amongst its burgeoning contributor
base as the "No Elves! Movement." Artists and writers are volunteering
their own work for inclusion on the project's Facebook page. Details
and a teaser trailer are available at

.
"The debate of how a fantasy elf would fair in a futuristic sci-fi
world is nearly as old and epic as the never-ending conflict between
pirates and ninjas," said Todd Harris, Executive Producer of Global
Agenda. "I see the Community embracing this Elven challenge in the
same way that David attacked Goliath -- head on, in full view of the
enemy, with nothing but a strong knowledge of the foe's weakspot and
advanced weapons technology."
Media and fans may download the NO ELVES! Evangelism and Media kit
from the Agents vs. Elves website. This kit contains the materials
required for prospective Global Agenda agents to spread the No Elves!
movement, including a variety of art and video assets.
ABOUT GLOBAL AGENDA
GLOBAL AGENDA is a fast-paced action MMO using Unreal® Engine 3 set in
Earth’s near future, a spy-fi world of advanced technology and
player-driven conflict.
In the wake of severe global disaster, the political face of 22nd
century earth has changed. Player-created factions scheme against each
other for power while simultaneously opposing a totalitarian world
government bent on domination. Traditional full-scale war is a thing
of the past; factions must rely on covert agencies - teams of elite
special operatives - able to seize and defend key facilities. The
future of humanity is their battleground, where knowledge is power,
technology is a race, and everyone has a global agenda.
The players are truly in control of Global Agenda, forging alliances
with their peers and executing lightning strikes against their
enemies. They determine which factions to aid and which to oppose,
while the only thing that stands in their way is other agencies.
Develop your agent – Create, extensively customize, and improve your
agent character over the course of your career, complimenting your FPS
skills with RPG-style progression and high-tech gear.
Advance your agency – Join a player-created agency, compete in
technology races for advanced equipment, and capture critical
locations to increase your influence in the world.
Compete in fast-paced PvP combat – Work with your allies to gather
reconnaissance data, then raid or capture enemy controlled facilities
during objective-based missions. Equip yourself from a powerful array
of weapons, armor, and strategic devices like
triggered explosives, deployable turrets, stealth suits, holographic
disguises, and remote control robots.
Experience a dynamic, player-driven world – Agency leaders navigate
through a global conflict of other player-run groups, striving to
reach their goals first. Territory, resources, technology, and
influence are all valuable commodities, with agencies engaging in
politics, intrigue, and outright deception to control them.
