Seems like an interesting concept from talented developers. Will keep an eye on it.

The player models look a bit too much like fortnite for my liking. But the idea of an MMORPG botw sounds hot.

Could be either a total flop or a huge success. Interested to see what happens to this game.

Not exactly.
MMO just stands for Massively Multiplayer Online...which is a pretty safe bet moving forward.

Yeeesss and no. You see "MMO" you think WoW and FF14. It's a type of game, like a JRPG. Multiplayer online games are a safe bet, MMOs aren't really. Unless you're into F2P with microtransactions up the ass.

There wasn't really much in botw that was original tbh, it was done well though, even if I found it boring after a while! The art style of this game looks more like Blizzard/Riotesque to me, which makes sense considering who's making it!

i really don't see botw there. i see WoW+fortnite and a little of sea of thieves too. botw is cell shaded. genjin impact is a botw ripoff

Haha that's the most reductive take I've read yet! Well done.

I think we've moved on from MMO meaning WoW and FF14. Massively Multiplayer Online games are now a much broader term. This game feels like a safe bet considering how popular Animal Crossing is and how frequently people complain about it's multiplayer offerings.
Ex Blizzard devs did the thing that made Blizzard huge. They found a genre with potential, and are going to do it right.

Looks good and all but from its name it doesn’t sound a success for me.

Time to resurrect the old topic
Beta sign up's are live + blatant referral code posting.
accounts.palia.com
Use the Palia Accounts link above to get a free fruit basket (lol)
I don't think it's an accident that these social MMO's keep popping up these days. I feel like something has been lost along the way to making MMO's get you into a dungeon or raid faster. Essentially you have to make a slower paced game that forces people to interact to get that sense of community back.
Well looking forward to giving it a wirl, if its not very good, its back to towers unite for me.

Yeah if it can run on switch it can pretty much run on anything, but PC only testing to start with makes sense to me as updates on console have to go through a review process, with PC you can update and tweak day to day if required to deal with issues as they come.
Would be suprised after everything is nailed down on switch if it does not come to other consoles (unless it flops hard of course)

I have been signed up since they announced the game a few years back with the sign up page... I have the max referrals for friends... and I am still waiting for a code.The closed beta starts tomorrow.
They must really hate my specific PC hardware set up, oh well apparently on the 9th they just let anyone with an account in. Looking forward to finally play.

I guess I got lucky. I only did the stress last week. At least open beta starts in a little over a week.
A weird thing is that they're not resetting progress when it goes from beta to launch. I ain't complaining tho.

It was running well until it wasn't. Hopefully, it isn't down too long.

Looks roughly 5 times deeper than BOTW, in terms of actually manifesting your progress within the game world... but whatever they have representing combat is going to have to be really strong to stand up to that lofty comparison, in the end.
Looking forward to footage from the beta.

LOL wut. There is no combat in this game. This is a chill game.

I'm not wasting my life on any MMO (I'd rather waste it on more but shorter games), but this definitely looks nicer than 99% of what MP gaming is these days.

This isn't really an MMO. It's only 25 players per shard.

Ah ok, weird that it's described as such then ("massively multiplayer").

Nope, only 25 players per shard. An SMO. I, guess. Small, multiplayer, online.

That's more interesting, but it's still a game you could easily spend 1000 hours on I'm guessing. I try to stay away from those, lol.

I'd think I'd get bored after 100 or so... Not sure. It'll be a fun distraction for a bit.

This game isn't for everybody. It's a chill gathering and crafting game.
