Shards Online: Player-Run MMORPG [Mar 31, 2014, 07:53 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Shards Online website shows
off plans for a sandbox MMORPG from Citadel Studios, which includes former
Ultima Online developers (thanks Ant via
Slashdot/Polygon).
There's a recent interview on the topic
on Stratics, discussing the twist that this will be a player-run game, as
they describe on their website:
Shards is a sandbox RPG in development for PC by Citadel Studios. In the multiplayer online game players can fully customize their experience. Collaboration will determine how the world evolves.
Explore an ever-expanding universe with deep lore and dynamic environments.
Employ Shards' unprecedented modding capabilities. Connect servers, create and run your own MMO, set your own rules, and play how you want to play.
Shards will change the face of multiplayer role-playing games and give players more power than ever before.
Really depends upon what their economic model is. If they expect users to pay them $10 a month its a rip-off. If that $10 a month gets shared with the runners of the most popular servers based upon usage models, maybe that could work.
