What if you could be the creator of an MMORPG? In MMORPG Tycoon 2, you can try it out.
Build an MMO and Hold Absolute Power
Anyone who has ever played an MMORPG dreams of having their ideas and implementations realized in a game world one day. In the simulation “MMORPG Tycoon 2,” these dreams can now become reality for players. In this single-player game, you take on the role of the creator of an MMORPG and have to take on pretty much everything that a whole company would do.
The game world needs to be created, which means creating quest areas, placing monsters, creating character classes, and much more. Almost everything can be adjusted down to the smallest detail. How strong should the enemies be? How much XP do characters need to level up? What items can you buy in the in-game shop?
After all these questions have been answered, you can open your MMO for players (controlled by AI). It won’t be long before these players will voice critical opinions about the game, demanding first buffs and nerfs, or finding that “the game has too little to offer.”
The game makes no secret that you can implement all the terrible practices that annoy us in real MMOs. You can lure players in with a subscription model and promise free expansions, only to later implement DLCs, microtransactions, and pay-to-win purchases. If the criticism from certain players gets too loud? No problem, just silence them with the banhammer and remove them for “cheating” from the game. Currently, the game is in the Steam Greenlight program. So if you want to see it published on the platform, you should give the game your vote.
Mein-MMO says: At least at first glance, MMORPG Tycoon 2 looks like a brief entertainment for a few hours. Especially the fact that all the “bad things,” like DLCs and pay-to-win purchases, that you can incorporate into your own game generates a morbid humor. However, the game could also be worthwhile for anyone looking to create their own game world with simple means and let loose a little. However, the title is purely an offline game, just a simulation.
