[Column] General: The Worlds Belong to Us

Back in 2012 there was this little MMO darling that was loved by many, one that I personally wanted to try out but never got the chance to. That gem of a game was called Glitch. MMO bloggers that I follow spoke nothing but praise and the announcement of the shutdown hit fans hard. Thankfully, unlike many MMOs that shut down Tiny Speck was able to put the art and code from Glitch into the public domain. This meant that we would soon see the world of Glitch again right? Sadly, no. It has taken a year since the code and art was released and been two years since the MMO shut down, but it was just recently revealed that there is a project to revive Glitch in the works! It is called Eleven named after the eleven giants of Glitch.

    I remember playing this briefly.  It had a cute Seussian look to it but not much more.  The game just felt shallow.  I did appreciate the touch of realism when I had to wait at the govt office to receive my papers. hehe.

    Another MMORPG that has died & been reborn a few times, including an Open Source release is Ryzom (formerly "The Saga of Ryzom") which currently exists as both the Open Source material (with a team that is working on it, somewhat) & a company-run game (Winch Gate, made up of a portion of the original company's staff, who I believe are also involved in the "open" development aspects).

    I don't understand what made this game so special...  I played it myself when it was out due to the praise, and it was like so many other browser games that plague the internet. I honestly didn't get it. I think the art style just makes people extra nostalgic or something.
