On November 26, 2024, the MMORPG Corepunk will start in Early Access. In a new message, the developers have now made a surprising announcement regarding the end of the leveling phase.
What have the developers of Corepunk announced? About a week after the start of the Early Access phase, a new feature is set to be introduced in the MMORPG, which will make it worthwhile to participate in Corepunk’s activities even after reaching the maximum level of 20.
In the official statement (via corepunk.com), it says:
The experience bar continues to fill up, but instead of a level-up, the player receives a reward chest with loot. In addition to various rewards, the chest always contains in-game currency that the player can use to shop. This means that the player does not have to spend money to buy skins they like in the shop, but can earn them through gameplay if they wish.
Corepunk follows a Buy2Play model and features a purely cosmetic shop. No boosters or other items that could influence your gaming experience will be sold. Combined with the ability to earn real-money currency simply through gameplay from the maximum level, the payment model of the MMORPG is expected to be very fair.
Here you can watch the first gameplay of Corepunk:
How does the community react to the announcement? Many players praise this move by the devs:
- TheRarPar writes on Reddit: “[…] In today’s climate, where paid features are the norm, this is a pretty good move. Also, the commitment to XP gain after reaching the maximum level is really a good way to keep gameplay relevant […].”
- BloodprinceOZ adds on Reddit: “The idea is generally a good thing, but it completely depends on how much currency you earn and how long it takes to get enough currency for the cheapest and the most expensive item in the store.”
- Substantial_Pizza410 is happy (via Reddit): “Sounds good to me!”
Account-wide Features for Early Access
What else have the developers announced?
- An account bank will be introduced, which all characters on your account can access.
- The developers are bringing a new skin system with a wardrobe function, which all characters on your account can access. Mounts will also be available to all characters through the account-wide collection.
