Until the release of The Division, there’s still a bit to go. However, you can now prepare for the apocalypse with this skill calculator.
Compared to other shooters, The Division has pronounced RPG elements. Your level, equipment, skills, talents, and perks determine victory or defeat. In the game, it will be crucial how you combine your skills and talents to gain an advantage and carry off the victory. A clever user thought of this too and has made a skill calculator available on the web that is freely accessible.
The user Miodec has put together a tool called The Division Skill Calculator. With this, you can read through and combine available skills to identify synergy advantages in advance.
However, his work is not yet complete; the tool is still in development. More information is needed to make this tool even more productive. But since the user has recreated the interface of The Division in great detail, the operation is extremely simple and cleverly designed. Try it out for yourself if you want.
In the MMO shooter Destiny , Guardians can now easily earn a 320 Ghost.
Ghost shells with a maximum level of 320 are difficult to obtain. In the coming days, until Tuesday morning, players can easily access them.
When the rewards for the current event Crimson Week were announced, some Guardians took notice: “320 Ghosts” were to be included. Until now, they were hard to come by, as they were not part of the guaranteed rewards from the challenges in the raid. For some games, the goal is currently to reach 320. Still a difficult endeavor, as it relies on pure luck to get the missing pieces at the right strength. Thus, such an event comes just in time.
But the problem was: The event had poor drop rates and even if one received a Ghost, that didn’t necessarily mean it was 320. So players started to reluctantly grind through matches in hopes that quantity might help. Some even threw themselves to their deaths, to shorten the fights and increase their chances of a chocolate ghost.
Bungie reached out overnight from Friday to Saturday and stated: We hear you, you are right, there are too few drops, we will change that.
Surprise!
How to get a guaranteed 320 Ghost in Destiny
after the event, players who have completed 7 fights will receive a Ghost in the mail
the Ghost will either be crimson or chocolate – the chances are 50/50
the Ghost will have a 320 defense value, so 320 light
the fights must be “completed correctly,” no suicide nonsense
the Ghost is for the account, not for the character
players who succeed will receive their Ghost on February 23
those who have already completed 7 “correct fights” are on Bungie’s list, it is said.
the event only lasts until Tuesday at 10:00 AM, so you need to keep track of that

A new game aims to appeal to both Poker and Hearthstone fans. But can the concept of HoldemX succeed?
With all the buzz around Hearthstone, it’s easy to forget that there are still a whole lot of classic card games out there. Especially Poker in the “Texas Hold’em” variant is quite popular and ranks among the most played card games in online casinos.
Mediarex Sports & Entertainment now wants to bring both player groups together – or rather generate a particularly large pool of potential customers. The game HoldemX combines the typical game elements of Poker with additional card effects that players can use at specific times.

According to the developers, the game has been tested extensively since last October, during which they invited the most experienced poker players and interviewed top players from Hearthstone and Magic The Gathering. The reactions have been quite positive… or something like that. In the quote, it sounds like this:
“Since October, the mechanics of the game have been tested by dozens of the best poker players in the world, as well as some top players from Hearthstone and Magic The Gathering. We are thrilled by the reactions, which vary between: “Wow”, “Fun”, “mmm…”, “Crazy”, “Decent”, “Challenging”, “Confusing” and “:)”. We believe we have found the right foundation to build a great franchise that unites these two communities and establishes poker-based games as a viable eSport.”
Whether HoldemX can establish itself in the market remains to be seen. The idea is certainly interesting, but so far the game still feels very unrefined – and whether poker really needs another uncontrollable random element is debatable.

The map chosen by Bungie this week is Rusted Lands.
When it comes to rewards, one should focus on the bounties and collect them from Brother Vance. Most of the rewards come from reward chests. Those who maintain their pass and provide it with buffs may reach Mercury, the promised land in Destiny, and open the flawless chest there. “Adept” weapons await the players – these are the “normal” Trials of Osiris primary weapons, but with a bonus perk. Another popular reward is the Scarab emblem.
This week, 5 wins yield armor pieces, and 7 wins grant the rocket launcher. Next week, the coveted Doctrine should be available.

We have heard very little from Landmark – and especially from Everquest Next – lately. A new building competition has now been announced for the sandbox MMO.
Landmark represents a playground for gamers, where the main focus is on creating things. The underlying voxel engine allows for terrain alteration and building structures, something that is rarely possible in other MMORPGs. One could call Landmark a kind of online Lego. Each player acquires a so-called claim, which is a piece of land in the game world, and can let their creativity run wild on it. Joining forces with other players makes it possible to construct entire cities!
Create the most spectacular structures in Landmark!
Daybreak Games stated at the announcement of Landmark that they would like to use the game to incorporate particularly spectacular player structures into the MMORPG Everquest Next. Thus, Landmark fans should be directly involved in shaping the world of Everquest Next. Now it is that time again and Daybreak has called for a new competition.
Until February 25, players have the chance to create special structures and artworks in the MMO, which Daybreak will subsequently review. However, the creations of the winners will not, at least for the time being, be incorporated into Everquest Next, but will be immortalized as landmarks in Landmark. There remains the possibility that some of these landmarks could also find their way into the MMORPG Everquest Next, but that is not certain. After all, the structures must fit into the concept and the world. Those who wish to see their creation immortalized in Landmark can participate in this competition and show what artistic skills they possess.
An update is coming!
Additionally, a larger update has been announced for March. This will involve a claim wipe, meaning everything you’ve created on your land will be deleted. Therefore, it’s a good opportunity to participate in the competition, as you could potentially secure your artwork. The update will also introduce the ability to customize the time of day for your claim. New camera options will also be introduced.

In FIFA 16: Ultimate Team, the winter upgrades are in full swing. Today on 12.2., the second part was released. Some Bundesliga players are involved.
With the winter upgrades, some players are getting new, improved cards. As part of this update, their outstanding performances in the real football world are also recognized in EA Sports FIFA 16.
Here are some players who have received an upgrade today. Among them are Bundesliga stars like Lewandowski, Gündogan, and Mkhitaryan. Lewandowski receives a total point increase of 1, especially benefiting from a boost in shot power. He is now rated 88. The two BVB players now each have a rating of 83.
Other notable increases can be seen in the graphics.
In MMORPG Blade & Soul there is currently a Valentine’s event taking place, where players can earn or buy stylish rewards for a limited time.
Collect as many flowers as possible
Stylish outfits are of course part of every good in-game event.
In a game with attractive characters, as is the case with Blade & Soul, a fitting Valentine’s event is of course a must. The task during the event seems relatively simple and entices with stylish rewards. Characters must collect red and white roses to later exchange them for one of the desired items.
Collecting the roses is possible from level 16. The red flowers are obtained through a daily quest that requires players to travel to the Jadestone Village (the mission appears automatically in the quest log). After completing a small task, you must fulfill various “heart’s wishes” under time pressure – if you succeed, you can collect 4-5 red roses per day.
Those who do not feel like doing the daily missions can also purchase a box containing 12 red roses from the shop every day to spare themselves the trouble.
For the white roses, you have to venture into the numerous dungeons, the vaults of Blade & Soul. They are primarily distributed through the completion of dynamic events, which provides an additional incentive to explore the game’s instances.
But what’s the whole fuss for?
The various flowers can later be exchanged for different rewards. A powerful new gemstone awaits, with which you can upgrade your equipment, or the “Gift for the Festival of Love” – just check out the graphic to see everything it contains.
What do the talents in World of Warcraft: Legion look like? How should I plan my character? A new talent calculator provides assistance.
The Talents in Legion
The next expansion of World of Warcraft is currently in development and the closed alpha test is in full swing. Although it will still take a while for the contents of Legion to be finalized, more and more aspects of the add-on are gradually taking shape.
The colleagues at mmo-champion have already made the effort to update three different talent calculators. With these small tools, one can already determine the distribution of skill points for the individual classes, divided into the “regular” talents, the special PvP talents, and the properties of the artifact weapons.
Please note that all this content is still in planning and consequently the talents can be significantly changed or even completely replaced until the actual release of “Legion”.
The TV series “Grimm,” which airs on Vox, is getting its own MMO called “Grimm: Dark Legacy.”
The series “Grimm” is based on the idea that Grimm’s fairy tales are based on true facts. There are beastly creatures living among us in human form, discovered and hunted by a “Grimm.” There are flesh-eating Blutbaden (wolves), anxious bauernschweine, clever fuchsteufel, and nasty hexenbiester.
The TV series has been airing since 2011 in the USA: a police officer, a Grimm, investigates alongside a vegan Blutbaden and a whole host of helpers. It’s relatively light fantasy/crime fare.

Little is known at the moment about the MMO that is supposed to come out related to the series. It is being developed by the Norwegian studio Artplant, which is also behind Battlestar Galactica Online. The game is set to be released for PC in mid-2016. Here you can sign up for a beta.
Grimm: Dark Legacy is set in a world hundreds of years ago. Players are expected to use all the abilities of the Grimms and their weapons to survive. The game will be free-to-play. Combat is expected to be an important part of the game. Missions need to be completed, and rewards reaped. Behind the description, MMO players know that anything could be lurking.

This week, there are new, coveted Ghost shells at Destiny for Valentine’s Day. Some players are farming them with a macabre trick.
Currently, the Crimson Days are in full swing. There are a few new bounties, a quest, emotes, and a few rewards that you can snag. Particularly coveted are the Ghost shells that can drop up to Light Level 320. They also look quite funny.
Of course, the savvy Guardians among us have already figured out a trick on how to proceed most efficiently when hunting for loot: through suicide.
Initially, the Guardians start as “couples” in a Crimson double, the new 2vs2 PvP event. Then they throw themselves into the abyss, killing themselves, effectively dying for each other.
It has been shown that the chance for loot is always the same, no matter how many kills players have achieved.
If you only want these Ghost shells, and do so as quickly as possible, you simply need to copy the fate of Romeo and Juliet and repeat it a few times. The players on the other side of the “Suicide Teams” have the same advantages, quickly grabbing loot. So if you encounter opponents using this tactic, don’t be surprised… it is madness, but there is method in it.

In various online forums, you can already find Guardians looking for partners to go into suicide together.Macabre, but apparently effective. Destiny will face the consequences of its “We don’t consider performance in the outcome of matches” policy.
Lead Designer Terrence Lee explained the background to the US site mmorpg. The “Split” into 2 games came organically. They developed H1Z1 and realized that the community was splitting into 2 camps. Some wanted an MMO with zombies, base building, and crafting – these are catered for with “Just Survive.” Others wanted a kind of eSport, an arena shooter, a spectacle. For them, they deliver “King of the Kill.”
The two games are to be managed by separate teams. They have recently hired many talented people and want to continue hiring to develop both games optimally.
For “Just Survive,” they promise smarter zombies: They have worked a lot on the AI, and the Screamer zombie should be arriving soon. Since they want to stay in Early Access with this part, they will develop it closely with the community.
The shooter “King of the Kill” is expected to be released this summer for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Here they promise a competitive game that is fun to watch as well as to play. They want to give players the opportunity to host their own events and games. The developer Daybreak itself will host tournaments.

The selective multiplayer RPG Shroud of the Avatar offers not only the story but also a sandbox where housing plays a very important role – because it is worth a lot of money.
Anyone who wants to own land and a house in SotA to utilize the housing system of the game must either have a lot of luck or a lot of money. Building plots in the game world are only available in limited numbers, so there is a limited number of construction sites. Early in the development of the game, it became clear that many gamers are interested in housing, which is why the team at Portalarium has placed great emphasis on this feature.
Housing can be quite expensive
In the game – both in offline and online modes – it will be possible to earn possession certificates for land just like the houses. So you don’t have to spend real money if you want to use housing. However, since the building plots are limited, you can secure them in advance. But only if you buy possession certificates for land with real money – and that can be quite expensive.
The smallest building plot for a townhouse costs 100 US dollars. Depending on the size of the land – which also determines what type of house can be built on it – this goes up to a large building plot in a city for 2,100 US dollars! It should be noted that you don’t own a house yet, but only the land.
Additionally, it should be considered that you have to pay maintenance for the land. Depending on the size, fees in the in-game currency apply, which you have to pay monthly. If you can’t raise this money, you will lose your land – but not the possession certificate, so you can look for another free building plot. The maintenance costs, however, should be relatively easy to earn if you don’t want to own a huge property.
Now, of course, you want to have a house on your land. The costs for this range from a moderate 10 dollars for a small wooden hut to a whopping 12,000 dollars for a castle! But that’s still not all. Because you can also buy basement rooms at various depths for money, as well as decorations like fountains, statues, hedges, and more, all of which also cost something. If you think that’s it, you are mistaken.
Because you can even buy entire towns, which cost between 900 and 6,000 dollars depending on their size. The town will then be added to the overworld map. The buyer sets the rules, such as whether there should be open PvP and offers the plots for sale.
The housing of SotA is a goldmine
The housing system of Shroud of the Avatar is popular. Players are already concerned about whether there will still be free building plots after launch, as there are already numerous reservations. This has several reasons: On the one hand, many players find it important to have a house or a town in the game world to become a part of this world. They want to lead a kind of second life in Shroud of the Avatar and also own a virtual house that they can furnish according to their ideas and present to other players.
Another reason is that the value of the properties will increase once the game goes live. This is due to the limitation of building plots as well as the high demand for them. Players see their lands as an investment. It is quite possible that the value of the building plots will increase significantly over time and that they can eventually sell their land for a profit.
For Portalarium, the housing system is a goldmine through which they can generate revenue to further develop Shroud of the Avatar. It seems to be a win-win situation for everyone – except for those who believe that you can only participate in housing with real money because the chances of earning possession certificates and houses are so low. At least in offline mode, there will always be building plots available.

The upcoming MMO shooter The Division aims to steal a title from Destiny according to Ubisoft.
When Destiny launched in 2014, it immediately took a title from Ubisoft. Its shooter “Watch Dogs” held the record for the most successful release of a new franchise until then. Destiny surpassed it and claimed the title for itself.
Now, two years later, it seems that Ubisoft wants to reclaim the title. At least that is what they are aiming for. During yesterday’s financial report, Ubisoft’s CEO Yves Guillemont stated: The Division exceeded all expectations in the closed beta. The Division is set to become one of the biggest launches of a new brand in the history of the video game industry.
Destiny launched on Xbox One, PS4, PS3, and Xbox 360. The Division will not cater to the “old consoles” PS3 and Xbox 360 anymore, but it will be available for PC – and Xbox One and PS4 should now be in significantly more living rooms than back then. It could be exciting.
Destiny currently still holds the place in the sun.
Destiny is said to have 25 million players who played for 3 billion hours
Interestingly, no one reveals the exact sales figures. Some journalists have already taken to the fun of describing Destiny’s success with as many words as possible without ever saying “This is how much we sold.” Back in 2014, it was said that games worth 500 million USD were “delivered.” The latest figure from yesterday indicates that Destiny has 25 million registered players who have spent 3 billion hours in the game.
Watch Dogs reportedly sold 4 million units in the first week.
There is always a lot of PR involved with such goals and figures. Nevertheless, it will be exciting to see if Ubisoft can reclaim the title of “best launch of a new franchise” after two years. The fact that the closed beta went so well is already a good sign that they have captured the players’ interest.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In The Division, there will be 40 unlockable perks that allow you to level up your character. We list them all.
The upcoming MMO shooter from Ubisoft will feature 40 unlockable perks. Unlike skills and talents, perks are permanently available once unlocked. These are essentially passive advantages. You do not need to adjust and equip them individually every time. Consequently, an agent of a higher level will always have advantages over an agent of a lower level.
Most perks increase the “comfort of players”; for example, experienced agents can carry not just 6 contaminated items simultaneously, but 9.
You unlock perks by completing missions and upgrading the wings in your operations base. So far, no perks have been tested in the alpha or closed beta. In total, there will be 40 perks: 13 in medicine, 12 in technology, and 15 in security.
The perks in the medicine tree of The Division:
Medkits (3x): Expands the medkit inventory by one slot (starting at 2, max: 5).
Protective Measures (3x): Increases virus protection by 1 (this allows you to enter areas of higher contamination. Without these perks, you would eventually die in these areas).
Canned Food: Increases the duration of canned food by ten seconds (canned food increases your healing).
Supplier: Once per hour, you can collect canned food, energy bars, water, and soda at the base.
Contamination Intel: Reveals all contaminated areas on the map.
Hazardous Materials: Expands the dark zone inventory by one slot.
Rigger: Once per hour, you can gather “fabrics”, a crafting material, in the medical wing.
Credit: Increases credit income by ten percent.
Talents: Opens an additional talent slot.
These passive traits are available in the technology tree
Inventory: Your inventory is expanded by 10 slots.
Hazardous Materials: Expands the dark zone inventory by another slot (see medicine tree).
Division Tech Materials: Transforms division tech crafting materials into other materials at the crafting station.
Engineer: Once per hour, you can gather another crafting material, “electronics”, in the tech wing.
Soda: Increases the effect duration by 10 seconds (reduces skill cooldown time by 30%).
Water: Increases the effect duration by 10 seconds (increases damage dealt to enemies).
Craftsman: Once per hour, you can gather a crafting material in the tech wing called “tools”.
Energy Bar: Increases the effect duration by 5 seconds (heals all negative status effects and protects against further effects for 5 seconds; with this perk, it is 10 seconds).
Resource Assessment: Reveals all division tech crafting nodes on the dark zone map.
Stat Switch: Allows the swapping of item stats at the recalibration station. (What exactly this is, is still unknown. However, it should be useful for endgame, probably to reroll rolls).
Dark Zone Funds: Increases the loot from dark zone currency by 10%.
Stash: Expands storage by 10 slots.
All perks in the security tree:
Experienced Agent: Increases XP from all activities by 10% (best unlocked early in the game).
Grenades: An additional slot for grenades.
Advanced Weaponry: Unlocks a vendor for advanced weapons in the security wing.
Combat Veteran: Increases XP gain from awards by 25 percent.
Hazardous Materials: Expands the dark zone inventory by another slot (see above).
Black Market Vendor: Unlocks purchases with dark zone currency in the operations base.
Clothes Vendor: In the operations base, you will find a clothing vendor.
Explosive Bullets: Increases the duration of explosive rounds by 10 seconds.
Gunsmith: Allows you to gather weapon parts (crafting materials) in the security wing once per hour.
Scavenger: Collects items from the scavenger box in the security wing once per hour.
Incendiary Bullets: Increases the duration of incendiary bullets by 10 seconds.
Special Ammo: Collects incendiary and explosive ammo in the supply line once per hour.
Shooting Range: Increases accuracy at greater distances.
Intel Discovery: Reveals all collectibles in a zone when all side missions and encounters have been completed.
Collector: Increases the loot rate by 15%.
You can also admire all perks in the following video:

The online shooter Star Wars Battlefront offers players a massive XP bonus this weekend, allowing them to unlock numerous bonuses faster.
Romantically hunt down the rebel scum in Star Wars Battlefront
Anyone who has been planning to advance their account’s progress in Star Wars: Battlefront should grab the gamepad or keyboard. For the weekend from February 12 to February 14, all XP gains in the shooter are doubled!
Players benefit from this twice, as the experience points also determine how many credits are awarded at the end of a match.
Casually scooped up – Exceeded the target by almost 50%.
The reason for this bonus was the second “Community Mission” that EA launched last week. They asked players to complete at least 3 million daily challenges. The players weren’t fooled and surpassed the target with a relaxed 4.3 million completed personal missions.
Today we want to know from you what names you give yourselves in MMOs. Is it always the same one? Is the name particularly important to you? Or do you decide spontaneously?
A Name Holds Much Power (and Money)
It’s Friday again, and that means it’s time to interview our readers (spoiler: that’s you!) with a question to reveal and discuss the various views of our community. Today, it’s all about a central aspect of character and account creation in MMOs: choosing the right name.
Didn’t get your favorite name? That’s when emotions can really boil over!
Players attribute a very special significance to character names, which even reflects in the view counts on Mein-MMO.de. Especially the news about character name reservations or issues with them (like with Blade & Soul) were extremely successful for us. Some might cynically say: If there’s stress with names, then that’s good for our site. This is not only true for us: When the name reservation for Black Desert started recently, the site was initially down: Too much traffic.
It’s therefore undeniable that names are important to players and often reflect part of their personality. But how do you handle it? Do you rush into a game and secure the one name you always use? Or do you choose anew or even randomly each time? Is it a fantasy name or a “famous” name from anime, video games, or a novel? Do you have much competition for your name? What do you associate with the special name you have chosen for yourself?
Cortyn says: Maybe I’m just seeing this through my rose-colored RPG glasses, but for me it’s usually not that important to have the same name in MMORPGs. Cortyn is (and nobody can deny this) the most beautiful name in the world, but it fits only selectively to the different races of fantasy worlds.
There was stress over name reservations, especially in Blade & Soul.
However, it’s different for me with “account names,” such as with Battle.net, SMITE or Steam. I get really grumpy if someone has already “snatched” my name, and I have to revert to another one.
This may sound strange at first, but “Cortyn” has simply become an important part of my personality. However, there is also the opposite case where I explicitly refrain from calling myself “as always” – especially when I don’t want to be recognized.
But enough about me, let’s get to you!
How important is it to you to snag the “right” name in a game? Would you even spend extra money just to reserve a name? Or do you not care about the whole thing and choose spontaneously or even use a “random” button? Let us know in the comments and discuss vigorously.

In the MMO shooter Destiny on February 12, Xur arrives in the Tower. What items does he have on offer and where is he located?
Yesterday, the long wait came to an end. Bungie at least roughly presented a “Roadmap” for the near future, installed three pillars on how they want to develop the shooter further – with a PvE update, an expansion, and Destiny 2 now at least provides fixed points for the community to orient itself. In recent months, Destiny players have painfully missed such points of orientation.
But even the earliest date for fresh content is likely still a while away. That’s a downer. But let’s get to Xur now. Some things just don’t change.
All about Xur on February 12, 13, and 14 in Destiny
When does Xur arrive in the Tower and when does he leave?
Xur arrives on Friday, February 12, at 10:00 AM in the Tower. On Sunday, February 14, he will leave at 10:00 AM.
Where is Xur today in Destiny?
Xur is located in the Hangar.

Activision has announced the new quarterly results for Blizzard games – and it reads relatively successful.
WoW accounts for less than 50% of total revenue
At regular intervals, Activision publishes various numbers and facts about its current video games. Since Blizzard is also part of the huge corporation, some words have also been lost about Hearthstone, World of Warcraft, and all the other titles – and they read extremely positively.
Although exact player numbers for World of Warcraft are no longer published – the last count was 5.5 million players in Q3 2015. Nevertheless, they speak of “growth” compared to last month. What this specifically means, however, is not answered.
Interestingly, more than half of Blizzard’s revenue comes from sources other than World of Warcraft for the first time – whether this means that WoW has lost even more players or that the other games have gained significantly remains open to interpretation. In connection with the “growth” of WoW, the latter option is probably more likely.
Is WoW struggling? Over 50% of revenue comes from other games.
Especially Hearthstone seems to be doing wonderfully. With more than 40 million registered accounts, the card game scored points last year. Sales of the latest expansion “The League of Explorers” were also good, selling 20% more in the first 6 weeks than the previous adventure “Blackrock Mountain”.
For the closed beta of Overwatch, 8 million players signed up, and Diablo 3 managed to shine well even years after its release thanks to a “strong community” and its launch in China in 2015.
Overall, however, Activision has slightly fallen short of expectations. Analysts had previously estimated revenue at 2.2 billion dollars, Activision itself at 2.15 billion. In reality, however, it was “only” 2.12 billion dollars in revenue.

In the MMO shooter Destiny the cat is finally out of the bag and talks about the PvE plans of the game. It’s about Destiny 2, the expansion in 2016, and the next patch.
This time in the Weekly Update there was the information that players have been waiting for so long.
Destiny 2, Major Expansion, Spring Update – here’s what’s next for Destiny
A PvE update is set to be released in the Spring. This increases the light level, brings new challenges for PvE players that should be replayable and new gear. (The calendar spring begins in mid-March and ends in mid-June.)
Later in the year, so still in 2016, a “major expansion” is planned. This would probably be analogous to “The Taken King.”
In 2017, a “full sequel” is supposed to be released. This would have to be what we know as Destiny 2.
In the coming weeks, Bungie wants to explain to Destiny players in more detail how it will continue and what they are planning. In this Weekly Update from Bungie, there were only these core data and a little more that probably doesn’t interest anyone much.
Mein MMO thinks: There isn’t really much information yet, but at least there is a clear “roadmap” for how Destiny will continue. It seems that the reports were correct, Destiny 2 will be delayed, but other than a “major expansion”, there was really not much hoped for 2016.
So how do you see it? Are you skeptical after the long content drought or are you happy that you now know how it will continue?
In this context, we have some links for you to our articles:
The developers of the sandbox MMORPG Wild Terra have released a new trailer that showcases the world populated only by players.
Wild Terra could evolve into an MMO, as fans of the classic Ultima Online have long wished for. Because the sandbox aspect is the main focus here. The game world – which is recreated from server to server and thus has a different layout on each server – is only populated by the players. There are no NPCs.
From Survival Game to MMORPG
You start in the wilderness with only rags on your skin. Now it’s time to survive. You start by crafting tools so that you can mine resources with which you can craft better equipment. Additionally, you need a shelter to protect yourself from the dangers of the wild. While Wild Terra begins like a survival game, it evolves over time into a profound MMORPG. You join forces with other players or fight each other in open PvP. By working in teams, it is even possible to create entire cities. You farm food, collect ore in mines, and hunt animals.
You determine how the world evolves
Thus, you gradually build your own economy, which is entirely run by the players. Essentially, as a community, you determine everything that happens in the world. The developers only provide you with this world and the game system. Even wars are possible, where the rulers of various cities send their armies – consisting of players – with self-made war machines into battles against other cities.
Adventurers can also explore the world, delve into caves, and fight against the creatures that dwell there. What you make of your virtual life in Wild Terra is entirely up to you.
