The new MMORPG Dragon Eye Online launches into the first Alpha. The game emphasizes a player-driven economy and significant quests, where not only enemies must be defeated.
What is Dragon Eye Online? The new indie MMORPG Dragon Eye Online takes place in a 2D world where players are not supposed to have limits.
The focus is on:
- 3 different factions
- The classless combat system, where the selected attributes determine the gameplay.
- A fully player-controlled economy. Every piece of equipment in the game must be crafted by others.
- Quests where you don’t just mindlessly kill enemies, but consist of a series of unique tasks. Some are meant to occupy you for a week, but will reward you accordingly.
- Randomly generated events that depend on the server and can trigger domino effects.
- Dungeons where the bosses adjust dynamically to the player groups and their composition.
- Open-world PvP in specific areas and PvP in arenas with leaderboards.
The game forgoes particularly strong graphics and thus especially appeals to fans of old-school MMORPGs such as Tibia or RuneScape.
When will the MMORPG be released? Alpha 1 started on February 22 and is expected to last until March 15. After that, the second test is supposed to follow. To participate in the Alpha, you must purchase a founder’s package.
For Alpha 1, at least one package costing $79.99 is required. The most expensive package costs $289.99 and the cheapest is available for $14.99. However, the latter only grants you access to Alpha 3.
However, Alpha 1 will not yet offer all the promised content.
Alpha starts without quests, dungeons, and PvP
What does the first Alpha contain? The first Alpha contains, according to the official website:
- A revamped UI compared to previous tests
- Attributes with which the playstyle can be adjusted
- A combat system with weapons, each containing 4 skills, and 3 additional skills (HP potions, mana potions, combat potions). Moreover, it has been adjusted compared to previous tests
- A trading and crafting system
However, you will have to forgo groups, the promised varied quests, dungeons, and PvP.
For which platforms will Dragon Eye Online be released? The new MMORPG is set to be released for both PC and mobile devices.
Thus, it likely aligns with RuneScape, which has been very successful with the old school version on both PC and mobile.
What do you think of the new MMORPG? Does it appeal to you, or do you strictly need 3D graphics?
