I'm not even into mmorpgs and that sounds rather rad. Give it a fairly high skill ceiling with combat that isn't so reliant on gear and a clean, simple GUI and you're winner

I'm always very doubtful of MMO projects on Kickstarter. There's so many of them out there that promise 'a whole new take on the genre' with 'innovative and impactful gameplay' in 'a dynamic world that changes along with the players' that it's become kind of hollow.

Not to mention MMO's cost a crapton of money to create and maintain and with the 2,2 million they have so far (1,2 from KS, 500k from their own pockets and 500k from investors) it doesn't sound like enough for what they want to do AND make it a polished product.

It sounds neat but consider me highly sceptical.

The amount of griefing in this game will be insane.

[quote]The Spark of Life system also helps reduce griefing. If you kill another character in-game, your face goes up on a wanted poster and a bounty token is created for you. This not only keeps you out of cities, but also means you can be taken to 'jail' which significantly reduces your lifespan, [B]adding real financial repercussions to your in-game decisions.[/B][/quote]

I wonder if this will be almost in style with dwarf fortress.

I'd love a dwarf fortress mmo.

Well it has been funded, so I guess when it gets closer we'll see if 10,000 people have been suckered out of their money with grand promises or not.
