We have heard very little from Landmark – and especially from Everquest Next – lately. A new building competition has now been announced for the sandbox MMO.
Landmark represents a playground for gamers, where the main focus is on creating things. The underlying voxel engine allows for terrain alteration and building structures, something that is rarely possible in other MMORPGs. One could call Landmark a kind of online Lego. Each player acquires a so-called claim, which is a piece of land in the game world, and can let their creativity run wild on it. Joining forces with other players makes it possible to construct entire cities!
Create the most spectacular structures in Landmark!
Daybreak Games stated at the announcement of Landmark that they would like to use the game to incorporate particularly spectacular player structures into the MMORPG Everquest Next. Thus, Landmark fans should be directly involved in shaping the world of Everquest Next. Now it is that time again and Daybreak has called for a new competition.
Until February 25, players have the chance to create special structures and artworks in the MMO, which Daybreak will subsequently review. However, the creations of the winners will not, at least for the time being, be incorporated into Everquest Next, but will be immortalized as landmarks in Landmark. There remains the possibility that some of these landmarks could also find their way into the MMORPG Everquest Next, but that is not certain. After all, the structures must fit into the concept and the world. Those who wish to see their creation immortalized in Landmark can participate in this competition and show what artistic skills they possess.
An update is coming!
Additionally, a larger update has been announced for March. This will involve a claim wipe, meaning everything you’ve created on your land will be deleted. Therefore, it’s a good opportunity to participate in the competition, as you could potentially secure your artwork. The update will also introduce the ability to customize the time of day for your claim. New camera options will also be introduced.
