Chronicles of Elyria: Biomes are not only beautiful but also meaningful

In the upcoming MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria, the world is divided into various biomes, which make the world more diverse and have a gameplay purpose.

A fantasy world in an MMORPG must be designed diversely. You don’t want to just walk through a desert or through forests all the time. Vast grasslands should alternate with mountains. Deep forests offer much to explore, and icy snow landscapes make the hero shiver. In the upcoming MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria, you will explore such a diverse game world. The biomes include, among others, steppes, forests, tundra, and taiga.

Biomes have a purpose

However, the biomes are not just there to make the world more beautiful; they also serve a purpose. For instance, when it comes to breeding animals. Some animals cannot live in the desert and feel comfortable in the tundra. If you want to breed these animals, you should also build your farm in an appropriate biome. 

Where these biomes are located is defined logically. After the continent has been roughly created, it is determined, based on elevation differences, humidity, and weather, where each biome belongs. The biomes also play a role in the creation of kingdoms. Because they need natural boundaries, such as rivers or lakes and mountains.

Biomes affect the atmosphere and your hero

Furthermore, the landscape tells a story. When you wander through a landscape, you will find certain animals there, specific people, ruins, relics that tell a story and make this place special. And here too, the biome plays a role. An ancient ruin in a dense forest emanates a completely different atmosphere than a ruin in an open steppe.

Likewise, the biomes affect your skills. For example, if you wander from one biome to another, you will gradually notice that your hero adapts to the new circumstances. You will be able to learn some skills faster, while others will take longer. Watch the video linked below to learn more about the biomes in the MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria.
