Erenshor Gets a Summer Development Update, and Community Q&A, and Hardcore Confirmed | MMORPG.com

Erenshor, the upcoming single player simulated MMORPG, has a summer development update

I'm looking forward to this game as well. The graphics are a bit off-putting but I will take what I can get.  I like the MMORPG concept in a single player game... which helps with my busy lifestyle.  I can play as little or as much as I want depending on my time allowed. We'll see how well the game turns out!

So, if I'm reading this right, it's a single player game identifying as an MMORPG? This would just be called a RPG, no?

It's a MMO simulator. You have scripted bots designed to behave like players. You can group, quest, trade and even form guilds with them. The bots will play throughout the world just like players would forming groups and guilds and chatting with each other in global.

This isn't an MMO and needs a new identifier.

"Simulated MMO"!

I'm the guy making the game, happy to clarify whatever or chat about it.

Interesting concept, might gonna give this a try

Presumably the simulation has griefers and capes (avatars who only "interact" when you see the back of their cape as they rush by).

super interested in this, actually was watching a video earlier about setting up a wow server with bots, the whole concept blew my mind and I'm here for it.

SMMO? Just wish listed! I'll support your game. You get the Angrakhan "innovative idea" seal of approval. Even if the visuals look like EQ1 I don't care. Heck I'll support your game just because of this:

No micro transactions. Ever.

If it's the real deal the simulated players will post here bitching that the "single real player" won't group with them and what the hell are they doing playing a simulated MMO if they won't group with the simulated players.

I think it's a mistake to not make this co-op. It seems like it would be fun to play with a few friends.

As a guy who struggles to align gaming time with friends, and always feels like I'm missing out - especially on games designed for coop - I respectfully disagree.

Multiplayer puts me in competition with every other mmo on the market and suddenly Erenshor is nothing unique. I'm making a strictly single player experience in design, balance, and story.

Coop games are not in competition with MMOs, unless you think BG3 and WoW are fighting each other for players.

My point is there's 1000 MMOs you can coop with your buddies in.

Erenshor is looking to be the "MMO" where you can plan to play solo and all of the content is designed with that in mind too.
