Are there currently any interesting MMORPGs in development? (lemmy.ml)

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?

I'm personally interested in Ashes of Creation and Pantheon Rise of the Fallen. I wouldn't say "soon" though. These are also quite old school style MMOs, which I'm old and remember EQ so I'm looking forward to them.

Supposedly Blue Protocol is coming out "Soon". It's more of an anime action based MMO.

If you like skill based, janky, developed by 2 people, Project Gorgon is quite impressive imo. $45 1 time fee, and go to it. It gave me a sense of adventure, exploration, etc. It's very old-school feeling, very slow, all skill based, so you'll be doing a lot of grinding. Some folks power leveled me, but I'd recommend not doing that as you miss a lot I feel.

Someone below mention Veloren. It's totally free to play, because it's all FOSS, built on Rust. It's a lot of fun, but nowhere near complete. You can play it singleplayer or multi. You can even run your own server if you want.

Feel like I heard about Pantheon a long time ago. I wonder where that's at and if there's a predicted release date at this point

[–] ozoned@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

They're doing monthly pre-alpha tests. There is not a predicted release date yet. There's some content to see, including some streams being able to show off the pre-alpha tests. I'm guessing it's at least a few years away at the last.

Project Gorgon is quite impressive

Does it have much of a user base?

That also makes me wonder if there are any MUDs out there that sill have a decent-sized active user base.

There seems to constantly be people in the main city. They hold an event on Saturday for people to get buffs and have fun. It's quite impressive to see how many folks attend. So I think there's a very dedicated user base for the game.
