For a while there it seemed like everyone was making an MMORPG and there was a new MMORPG coming out every week, particularly once the free-to-play model caught on.
I haven’t heard anything from that space in a long time though and other than the two or, well, two, big name MMORPGs, I haven’t heard of any being developed or gaining much community attention.
Are there any MMORPGs coming out soon that you know of that sound interesting and that you’re looking forward to?
Ashes of Creation seems like it has potential - it’s certainly gotten my friend group very excited to play an MMO other than WoW for 1 month every 2 years!
I’d recommend checking it out, there are regular Dev logs and fairly in depth wiki entries about what the game will have (though these are just taken from talks the lead Dev has given and aren’t necessarily how the game will turn out)
It’s also worth noting that development seems to be going slowly. I’m cautious to call it out as another Star Citizen, but I might be blinded because I want this game so badly, like Star Citizen backers are desperate for Star Citizen to be real
Best approach to those sort of game is to basically ignore it until they actually release it. I got burnt by Star Citizen before and from there, I just assume all games are vaporware until released.
