    Yep this has been done to death lol. Didn't realize there was still money to be had from doing this again. You would think after Mortal Online failed, UO old emus fail,  Dark fall, Arche Age, and I am sure there are more that didn't do very well, there wouldn't be any more people left to throw money at a repeat of the same. Especially one with such bad graphics. I mean out of all of them Arche Age did the best, and this doesn't even look like it comes close to Arche Age. It looks like they stole Albion online graphics engine, and basic design. 

    Is there any one that actually believes this isn't, if it ever makes it out of alpha, gonna have a pay 2 win cash shop? I bet if it gets further, they will even throw a gambling cash shop in before the game is even out.

    While I do agree that this looks a lot like Albion but with blander combat, I'd still rather see more of these games pop up than the Asian grind-fests that we've been getting lately.

    Also, no idea why AA is in the same category with DF and MO, think the above poster is high.

    For $20, it looks pretty good for a Pre-Alpha.

    UGH yet another "early access" hardly anyone has heard of

    If it's a modern UO, I'm on board.

    I know some will say it's been done to death, but in my opinion, the problem is UO hasn't been re-created correctly. They always try to throw in some gimmick. I could go into reasons why games like Archeage, Darkfall, and Shards Online haven't worked for me (Albion Online is close, and I'll probably play it, but it's not quite the same), but it seems superfluous.

    Wish them the best! I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

    Thought this was Albion at first glance. Which one do you think will release first LOL

    Hilarious trailer. The combination of music(?) and unpolished animations really did it for me.

    Basically clicking away text windows ruins every MMO, try to have fun instead of rushing things. Without story and lore all there is left is a bunch of mechanics.

    Associating the word modern with this game is a mistake.

    Interesting, but not currently looking for a world pvp game.

    Personally, I prefer the Isometric view compared to what other games have tried to do. Also, I have yet to see an actual UO clone. MO had similar qualities, but went for a first person POV. They also did a terrible job executing their game. UO emulators were actually very successful for a long time. I'd be willing to bet there's some old servers still going with at least a few thousand players.

    So please name an actual UO clone. I've never seen one in all of the MMOs I've played. Similar but no clones. So I don't see why people say this has been 'done to death', when we've got 50 million WoW clones.

    Most "uo clones" tend to just think making big empty world with ffa pvp makes uo.They should think of the whole. Uo was great as basic day ln uo was about logging on in your house and pondering "hmm what should i do today? Go to dungeon x or y or z? Pvp? Mine some resources? Go rp on player built town? Grind some skills? Go fishing? Dig up a treasure?" ...ie there was zillion things to do and there was no rails forcing you to do things certain way.

    UO clones haven't failed over the years. Some were hugely popular before they shut down and run by passionate professionals who simply couldn't dedicate the time long term. Some are even to this day still running with large populations.

    This came out of no where for me, but I'm not so quick to write it off for such shallow reasons as animations or graphics. There are plenty of popular games that are lacking in those departments. Anyway I don't stick around to see how pretty it looks when I swing a sword the 1000th time. If the gameplay mechanics are fun and there isn't active cheating or pay to win I'll check it out.

    Archeage didn't achieve the success it could have mainly because of cheaters gobbling up housing spots, a pay to win design, and finally a massive turn from sandbox gameplay (which the world was designed for) to themepark control.

    I dont want to be nasty about newly developed games,usually I support these type of intensions. But compare to latest state of Runescape , Runescape is a lot better in this type of sub-genre. For people who are curious. You can youtube it ''Runecape NXT Ultra Graphics''.

    Kinda hard to be heard of if you're not putting your product out there. I can't see who such platforms are designed for if it's not small studios like this.

    It reminds me of Albion no?

    The developer (Neojac) has another bigger MMO in development as well. Arcfall was like a tech demo that turned into what it is. I don't imagine this game will be abandoned as if they do, it will most likely doom their other game.
