And so it happens, the magical version of Ark early access is to begin. O.o

Shadanwolf

Is there player looting ?

Tokken

 We'll see how good this game will be......

Alomar

Right at the same time ESO finally does another double AP event, ugh decisions decisions.

Renoaku

Yes but who is the publisher, because I really don't trust Snail Games anymore after both failures of Age OF Wushu & Black Gold?

Tiller

So I guess we will soon figure out if it is an MMO or a multi player survival sandbox.

It's already confirmed as survival sandbox, per servers they and players host, just like Ark.

Maybe...

"EARLY ACCESS" is NOT the day people are waiting for,they are waiting for a finished product ,a game we can see and decide if it is worth investing time and money into.
This is nothing more than a cash grab,free money without having a finished product and by claiming EARLY access ,TRIES to escape criticism.

Well it doesn't work that way,you don't get to have your cake and eat it too.If you are asking money to play your game,it is a SALE,IDC that two words "Early access" allows you to circumvent the law.

What SHOULD be happening and what promotion/endorsement sites like mmorpg SHOULD be doing is forcing these lame ass devs/publishers to stand up and tell us exactly what is missing and when that content is coming.If it is EA as claimed,then you should have a long list of development features to come and SHOULD know when "within reason"they can be expected in the game.

I will tel you why it won't ever happen,they don't have the money to invest anymore in the game,they want your money so they can further invest "wing it"as money arrives and get rich off of half assed efforts.They will put in VERY little effort as proven over the years,their investors just want the money to roll and that is all they care about.

There has ONLY been ONE up front game developer EVER that has come right out with the long term development and timeline and that is Square Enix.I did notice one other recently but only after it was forced out,they did not come out on their own and it was only a very small to do list.Everything else in the industry is a secret,you know why,because they don't know wtf the yare doing moving forward,most devs sit and think about cheaper ways to make money with as little effort as possible,they do NOT want any guaranteed long term investments.

Thank you Snail

I hope the wait was worth it.

Now give me that Age Of Wushu 2 reveal at China Joy.

Cleffy

I thought Age of Wushu and Black Gold were pretty good. Very fairly managed compared to most mmorpgs. The only problems were the waning popularity of mmorpgs and the UI.
3rd times a charm, or it's the end of Dark and Light. I remember being excited for the first time Dark and Light opened only to see it was a steaming pile of crap run by a shitty company.

I don't know about Black Gold but Age Of Wushu is my main mmo and love the game.

"officially launch into early access"

Oh my, to bad I have a much much more compelling gaming event happening on the 21st. But good job MMORPG convincing gamers they want to pay for testing privileges. Make sure next week to put another article out about what's wrong with the genre.

How did Age of Wushu fail? I just logged in a few days ago and it seems pretty full and vibrant to me. I get if you just do not like the game, but it certainly is not a fail.

What server you on? 

I am on White Tiger.   Playing Vagrant / Golden Needle Sect

One thing I'll say for sure is that the timing is good at least. If SWL had waited until around this time, it might've been received by more people to give FFXIV: SB honeymoon phase to wane a bit (a lot of the player base doesn't really do savage content anyway, Yoshida said about only 15% of the player base cleared all the way to A12S) and WoW's latest sub-patch as well. July and August seemed a little dead in terms of gaming until Destiny 2, which it would probably get 0 traction by then, followed by WoW's 7.3 Argus patch probably soon after and FFXIV's 4.1 around the same time as well. So, if the game isn't received well during this period, it probably wont for a while.

I wonder if they rushed this release in order to beat Citadel: forged in fire to release.

I figure that was the reason for this rush release. Snail originally wanted to have a few Closed Beta Tests but, since there's a new game on the market now (soon),they just throw their plans off the rail.

seraphicas

Renoaku
