Bill Roper offered a bit of a tease on Cryptic Studios' new MMO that is set to be unveiled this summer on his official Twitter page today.
Not much to work with, but interesting nonetheless, check it out below:
Just popped into and out of a balancing playtest for an in-development game - feels SO good to be able to do fine tuning this early!
via Twitter.
For those who haven't been following, it has been long rumored that Cryptic Studios is working on a new MMO set in the Forgotten Realms D&D campaign. Not much longer until we find out!
[Thanks Christopher8 for the tip!]

I saw this on twitter as soon as he posted and freaked with an @ reply about whether this was the supposed NWNO, Cthulu MMO, something else, and fo course when beta testing was... He did not respond. He's toying with US!
ROFL
Oh well guess we will wait and see.
Forgotten Realms? Been done to death in my opinon but many love the Setting, though it being Cryptic will cuase rage. Honestly..I think they need to slow down a tad with their rampant MMO releases.
I just need a name, so I can cross it off my list of upcoming releases in which I have interest.

Hey guys I have an idea let's keep releasing buggy/unfinished games as fast as we can to sell boxes! Sounds like they are going NCSoft way of throwing as much crap as they can at the wall and hoping something sticks.
Champions Online was a promising game but it needed at least 4/5 months more in beta to clean up PVP, smooth out level grind and adjust difficulties,though Im sure they would probably keep everything ridicuously easy.
If they didn't have to worry about paying off the other team working at the same time for each game they could spend it on proper development. Hell I'd say I have more satsifaction with SOE at this point than these guys, and that's saying alot.
Forgotten Realms is one of the most beated horses out there YET i have to see how cryptic gonna screw up on this one.
now: GW2 (11 80s).
Dark Souls 2.
future: Mount&Blade 2 BannerLord.
"Bro, do your even fractal?"
Recommends: Guild Wars 2, Dark Souls, Mount&Blade: Warband, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.
Not to be picky but in order to cross it off your list, you have to put it in the first place. Wouldn't putting it on your "no way" list makes more sense?
For me not much interest since I have enough share of sword and magic mmos, but I will still keep my eyes open just in case.
LOL. You read my mind. I was wondering if someone would make that suggestion. Your wording is much better than mine.
Since you posted before I fixed it, I will leave it as is.
Well done, my son.

Bill, I realize that all you are is a mouthpiece for whatever company you're employed by and that you need to do something to justify your salary, but you have no credibility anymore.
Show, don't tell, because you've told some whoppers.
"Soloists and those who prefer small groups should never have to feel like they''re the ones getting the proverbial table scraps, as it were." - Scott Hartsman, Senior Producer, Everquest II
"People love groups. Its a fallacy that people want to play solo all the time." - Scott Hartsman, Executive Producer, Rift
BEEEEELLLLLLLL don't you know that the types of people who will read about this are the same that already know you are a hack.
This sums up how I feel towards Mr. Roper.
I suppose since they based the last 2 games off of the same boring engine with minor subtleties I don't see how they wouldn't be able to fine tune this early. They probably ironed out most of the problems in the past 2 releases.
All they need to do is dress this game up in a different skin and they'll be ready for launch in about a month.
I don't know what to say. It astounds me they can keep schlepping out bad MMOs at such a breakneck pace.
Even though they'll probably just reskin the engine again with NWN or whatever, that's some shuck and jive!
"...feels SO good to be able to do fine tuning this early!"
As opposed to months after release, I suppose it does!
He is just brimming with positivity!
I can hardly wait to see what perks come with a lifetime sub to this new game!

I'd be willing to bet one of them will be a dunce cap.
"Gypsies, tramps, and thieves, we were called by the Admin of the site . . . "
Just incredible. It really makes you wonder; if they hadn't been churning out multiple large scale different games at the same time, would one of them turned out good?
I guess we'll never know.
Do you guys think this game will be incomplete at launch and they will do all of the content releases for stuff on their cash shop? It was such a rewarding experience in Star Trek Online.
RELAX!@!! BREATHE!!!
I would call him a greedy shill or a used car salesman, but fatuous toad is just plain mean!
RELAX!@!! BREATHE!!!
So, we're all waiting to see what IP will be ruined next.
Can we assume EVERYTHING will be instanced? And no more then 20 or so people per instance?
Call me crazy but I think Cryptic is going to do alot better with this new mmo. Just a gut feeling I have.
call me smart but i think cryptic is going to pocket your cash and tell you to get bent and look forward to our new MMO coming out during christmas.
Oh boy! I can't wait for Shallow Rushed Out The Door Piece of Crap Online III!
Is that the official name?
I need to know for my list.
