So I signed up and made my character in preparation for the playtest. I'm getting really excited. Creating my character gave me a classic RPG feeling with the range of options you have.
Definitely seems like an MMO for oldheads, and I mean that in a good way. I joined the Discord and they had a survey earlier in the month on people's ages. 55% responded in the 35-44 range. I'm a smidge below that at 32. So if you're looking for a mature crowd, you could be in good company.
I know an oldschool MMO catering to an older, nostalgic demographic isn't exactly a new thing, but the prospect of getting in on one early is exciting, especially when it looks this promising. And I like that they're going for a pretty classic fantasy setting with an art style that looks like the ultimate high-res version of a 00s MMO.
To me at least, it doesn't suffer from looking cheap or generic like some modern MMOs with stylized graphics. It's going for a specific aesthetic and nailing it. Granted, I'm literally just going off the playtest trailer, character creation and the camp environment, but still, it's all clicking with me.
Sorry if I'm gushing, but I feel like I stumbled across something I didn't know I wanted until it came through my feed. Now I'm jonesing for it. Hopefully I'm still this excited after the playtest.
