With Project: Gorgon, an MMORPG is more popular than ever on Steam. However, to help noobs, the developers must now turn into pigs.
What kind of MMORPG is this? Project: Gorgon is an indie MMORPG from Studio Elder Game, inspired by EverQuest 1 and Asheron’s Call. The focus is therefore on the immersive experience in the game world. For example, there is no fixed class system. Instead, you decide for yourself which skills you learn.
The MMORPG offers a lot of freedom, whether summoning an army of the dead as a necromancer or earning a living as a beastmaster: Project Gorgon offers a lot of variety. You can also transform yourselves into animals, and veterans are now experiencing this.

Veterans Become Pigs
What’s up with the pigs? After the early access of Project: Gorgon, the game is currently experiencing a peak of attention on Steam. While the player peak during early access was only a few hundred players, on Sunday, according to SteamDB, there was a new high with over 2,200 players.
Reason enough for the developers to create more space for players. A brand new server for the MMORPG has been announced, aimed primarily at newcomers. To ensure that veterans do not have an advantage over newcomers on the new server, there are some restrictions for experienced players.
All players who have played 40 or more hours of Project: Gorgon will be transformed into a “support pig”. This animal is a kind of class in the game and has some unique abilities, but above all, it has no hands. This makes the experience extremely difficult and is intended to give new players the advantage they need to enjoy the MMORPG.
Veterans can also play in groups with regular players and support them. This is expected to develop a new style of play. Those who want to restart despite their 40 hours of playtime can permanently delete their previous progress via chat command.
For the new players of Project: Gorgon, the new server offers exactly what they need to experience the game anew, without being surrounded by veterans who have long gained many advantages.
