    Just another scam on KS... I don't believe it how people thought this was a real game. it's nothing more than a dream.
    Saying "it will be the biggest MMO ever" ffs... Keep your heads on earth, watch the gameplay and you'll see only random free shaders and assets from UE with the most awfull optimization ever and lack of content structure.
    Stop being dumb!

    And all for the low low price of $10k.

    Haha, Yeah I think that is spot on.
    10.000$ that is so beyond ridiculous, hell even if they said 100.000$ it would be completely unrealistic...no matter how great and production ready your tech is (which it is not).

    Here we go again, another dev that has cobbled together a batch of Unity or UE modules and assets and thinks they've discovered the secret sauce to easy game development.



    Why even report on this?



    It's crazy. I mean I recognize the Synty assets everywhere in other games, but holy crap. Their entire trailer was nothing but super common assets and templates. It's insane that you can hustle 10k for that. Ouch. Just saw the claim that they will have the population density of real cities. Good luck with that with a Unity project. Maybe they meant Detroit?

    Didn't ashes of creation say they only needed 25M or something? These guys think they can do something in 10M? I'm sure they can do stuff with that much, but a mmorpg is highly unlikely.

    Dont feel sorry for anyone that actually believes this.... 10k for a MMO?? Looks like they took about 5 hrs in the Unreal Engine 4 to make a shit demo.

    Oo wow they raised enough to pay the developers 1 -2 months of salary to make the game.i don't know why people continue to support anything on Kickstarter.

    Zach and Garrison, creating the game nobody else has been able to. With stock assets and no last names. For an easily achievable all or nothing goal that hardly gives anyone time to ask questions or research anything. Low effort even by basic scam standards.

    Seems like I've maybe seen this before, but it's probably legit.

    Well the 10k seems to be so they can hire a few more people.They have some investor that is very tough to partner with so they did something right to persuade them.

    I had a good friend years back who was really good at BS'ing his way into management jobs,just crazy how successful he was with very little knowledge.

    So who knows,i suspect they have some code the yare confident with but to build a game is something else.
    Personally i was happy with Atlas,i don't need a lot of assets so long you give me replacement content and a world that feels realistic.

    Give me the ability to build things,on land,on water,tame creatures as pets and for combat.Allow me to hire npc's to help with my boat and my chores/combat.Basically i want a living experience within the game,i NEVER want to see destination markers or stupid boring quests.
    Keyword is >>WORLD,make it feel real and you have the start of a great game.

    OK... these guys:

    1. Only asked for $10k...
    2. Set a delivery date of July this year
    3. Willingly and intentionally brought CoE into the conversation

    If those 3 items don't indicate poor judgment I dunno what to tell you...

    I think i'm just tired of seeing game projects where you can tell what engine it's running on by just looking at the art assets.

    I love how 1/2 the video on their KS page is about how 2020 destroyed Zach's life, forcing him to move back into his parent's house...

    Yes folks, this is the guy creating your Dream World, lol.

    Like he's supposed to gain sympathy or something for his bad year. I got news for you Zach, 2020 sucked equally for everyone.

    How in the hell is a scam news? buyer beware type of thing going on here? PSA for a completely horrible investment idea? Hey Zach, sorry life played kick ball with your bean bag, great rebound though, many fools and their money are soon parted.

    In case you cannot see through my sarcasm, this is trash reporting on a crap topic. Seriously MMORPG.com for shame.

    You guys are seriously going to report on a MMO kickstarter that asked for 10k?

    I hate calling things a Scam. But what they are selling seems like one.

    10 Devs for a massive mmo is not going to happen. $10k is missing three 0s at the end to be a realistic kickstarter for any mmo.

    Now if they make a larger minecraft where they basically just build the procedural generated world and mechanics and literally let the players make the content. Then I could possibly maby see that working in 4-5yrs with a team of 10... obviously not making a salary at that kick starter level.

    Hard pass for me on this one. I see a concept but no way to realistically reach completion.

    Everyone wants to jump on "This is a scam" bandwagon but give them a chance.

    I honestly think this game has potential! They only been in development for 6months PART TIME, with only a couple people. I think they have a great idea, and I hope the succeed. Some of their ideas are big, and they might not be able to deliver 100% of their promises but I think they'll do everything they can to do that.

    1)  I'm discouraged to see that people are still falling for Kickstarter MMO scams.

    2)  I'm disappointed in MMORPG.com (and MOP) for even reporting on this and possibly drawing more people into throwing away their money.
