In the MMORPG Dark and Light, you will also be able to catch and tame dragons.
Dragons are majestic creatures in MMORPGs that also pose a great danger. They often serve as enemies and bosses. In some MMOs, they can also be used as mounts. In the upcoming online game Dark and Light, they are both.
Catch Dragons…
You will encounter dragons during your adventures in the vast and beautiful fantasy world. This will lead to fierce battles. However, you do not need to kill the wyrms. With a special crossbow, you will catch these beasts by shooting ropes at the creatures, which will entangle them on the ground.
Eventually, the dragon will no longer be able to move and will be stuck on the ground despite its violent wingbeats. That is your chance!
…and ride them
You jump on the back of the creature and tame it, so that it becomes available to you as a mount. Riding on a dragon mount, you will then explore the world from a different perspective, travel faster from one place to another, and visit locations that would hardly be reachable on foot. Whether there will be aerial battles is currently uncertain. In a video, you can see how a hero catches, tames, and eventually rides a dragon.
Dark and Light will break some conventions of common MMORPGs. For example, there will not be thousands of players in the world, but only a few hundred. Snail Games will announce the exact number later. This way, you should feel more like a true hero and not just one among thousands of heroes.
A release date for the MMO is not yet set. However, it could still be released in 2017. Dark and Light is the reboot of an MMORPG that was shut down 10 years ago.
