Decisions with consequences are something that only a few MMORPGs offer. However, Mekria Online aims to achieve this and started a Kickstarter campaign for financing.
It can be unsatisfying when an MMORPG places much value on a fancy story with interesting quests, but essentially nothing really happens. After all, decisions and consequences are difficult to implement in an online game. For instance, if a player kills an NPC due to their decision, other players can no longer complete that quest.
For an exciting story, it’s important that actions have consequences.
Your actions should have consequences
Through Kickstarter, the new MMO Mekria Online is to be financed, which promises decisions with consequences. Players should influence the world through their actions. However, it is still unclear how exactly this will happen. At the center of the story is the conflict between the nature-loving Chosen and the technology-interested Vast. You choose a side but can also deceive them and switch to the enemies.
You select your character from five races and ten classes, with the developers aiming to expand the “Holy Trinity” system by adding an additional factor. Those who play the role of a so-called Subduer can weaken enemies. They become less agile and can no longer execute strong attacks. This is particularly important in boss battles, which the developers are focusing heavily on. They are supposed to appear unexpectedly, which is why you need a well-coordinated team that can react quickly to such situations.
Fast, action-packed battles
In battle, combos, dodging, and active striking play a role. Your dexterity is more important than the skill of your hero. There will not be a traditional hotbar.
An important skill is “Impact”, as it acts as a type of damage modifier, through which the affected can even be thrown around. The environment is also destructible. Mekria Online will offer both PvP and PvE elements. Moreover, there will be no sexualized armors, and even female heroes will receive armor that is practical.
The MMORPG is expected to be released in 2020 if funding is successful. By March 15, the developers aim to raise $110,000 through a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter .
