The game looks better than it seems to in the Kickstarter material. MUCH better. They even have proper cloth/cloak tech.

Also, he's speaking some truth: http://www.gamebreaker.tv/mmorpg/shr...esigners-suck/

Jesus, that is 10000x better than the kickstarter vid.

I WANT TO CHANGE MY VOTE BECAUSE PIXELS

He should have said MMO designers suck, not game designers in general. In this sense he's insulting designers from Bethesda / Fallout / Skyrim, other cool games like Bioshock, Mass Effect, ETC -- all of whom are better designers than Mr. Lord British is.

However Garriott does have "street cred" with MMOs, since old school UO is still a legendary game.

If you want a sandbox PK fest, I'd go check out Mortal Online. I can barely play it despite a really awesome world to explore, because every time I log on reds murder me and it gets old. But, it's definitely good for certain folks.

This game is not an MMO. It sounds more like Diablo 2, where you can play solo or in a limited multiplayer structure.... sounds OK, i'd prefer a decent MMO though.

Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtue.

What a fucking abysmal name. Sounds like a name someone who played too much Lineage 2 would think of for his new strategy browser RPG in 3 minutes of brainstorming.


Hearkening of Tomorrow: The Wakening
Dominion of Azgalar: The Reborn Kingdom
The Saga of Endless Adventure
Forgotten Depths: Dungeon of the Underking
Beyond The Horizon: Forever Onward

I just want ESO.

And maybe an MMO based on "Lunar". That would be awesome.

No top down isometric views? The fuck is this shit?

[thugcruncher]

I'll play if I can tear myself away from Tabula Rasa.

[Tealia]

I will never forget the travesty and slap in the face of Ultima IX, Garriot.

Lord british may be a hasbin but I believe he has what it takes to make another great game if he doesn't try to cater to a market and publisher.

For sure you will be able to make and sit in chairs in that game )

Too many !'s and typos, bad graphical elements for me to take this seriously.
