News has finally reached us of a new, and oddly innovative, Russian MMORTS in development by the Nival Network studio - they of Cabal Online and Allods Online fame. Merging social networking, some rather traditional views of the role of the sexes and MMORTS - they bring us Prime World. Here male players fight on the front line whilst female players act as guardians and healers, inspiring them to great deeds.

The project will be closely integrated with the social network ZZima.com, also under development at Nival Network and, whilst quirky over the defined role for sexes, a vision that will likely evolve is being attempted. "Among the changes, awaiting us in the near future - the final disappearance of boundaries between social networks and online games that turn into giant platform for communication and entertainment players from around the world" said the Founder and president of Nival Network Sergey Orlovsky. More to come as we get it.
