"Friendly MMORPG" replaces weapons, and combat with positive social interaction.

Skotos informed VGLN.com that Z-Opolis, the latest addition to the Skotos portfolio of games, has launched. Z-Opolis is a "family-friendly, ESRB E-Rated game" that replaces weapons, combat, and conflict with "cool clothes, positive social interaction, and cooperation."

“We see Z-Opolis as very complimentary to the games that Skotos already offers,” said Kevin Hannah, Vice President of Marketing Officer at PersistentWorldZ, “especially as Z-Opolis appeals strongly to women of all ages as well as more casual game players.”

Players in the game will develop their Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and Social Quotient (SQ), as well as their proficiency at any of the six different types of job they can take: Gatherer, Hunter, Miner, Chef, Designer, Engineer or Trader. Players can also raise their very own interactive Z-Pet, playing mini-games, creating and running their own club.

Players interested in trying out Skotos' twelve games should visit http://www.skotos.net for a free trial month.
