Chronicles of Elyria

Post by Nagash »

Something i've been getting into recently is a new MMO in development called Chronicles of Elyria... a true sandbox MMO in a fantasy style work, not themepark like like WoW or GW or whatever level progressing alternative you want to give, it's skill based and you train skills etc etc, much like SWG was in the past, and i've hear it's a similar system Everquest used.

The thing that makes this game unique is that it's a living world made by the players, so there will be a few cities to start with but towns and cities will be made up by players, and buildings won't just appear, they have to actually be constructed, so you don't just get default stuff, it's all customisable. You can even make your own dungeons or castles etc... and quests are non-repeatable as well, so if there is a quest to clear a dungeon out in the world, once it's cleared it's cleared.... you could even claim it as your own and build house out of the dungeon or undeground city.

Next thing is their business model.... which involves perma death. You purchase a "spark of life" with real world money, which is estimated to be the same cost of a normal game. Your character then starts of as a teenager and will progress through life until they die of old age, at which point you'll have to buy a new spark of life.... this is estimated to take approx 1 year depending on various factors... obviously you can respawn if you get killed by the usual stuff but you have to "spirit walk" back to your body.

no release date yet, but they said around 2017 it'll be released... looking forward to this so will keep ppl informed if they want to be as it looks a vey interesting game that many in our clan could get into and enjoy :D

Their Kickstarter is coming out soon with loads of stuff to show off the game and they are also doing an offline demo this spring :D They have an active presence on IRC, so i've seen a lot of leaked stuff on there and will be worth playing when it comes out, so putting my friend code gets me some goodies when it does come out. :D
