Nostalgia, Familiarity, Timelessness

Highly referential of classic fantasy themes, tropes, stories, media, and 70s-80s rock album covers

An art style that leverages the modern engine, but allows the imagination to fill in the blanks

A world filled with places, races, and classes that feels familiar, yet unpredictable

EQ players will find something familiar in the screen shots.

Interesting find Blake, thanks for linking it. I'll keep it on my radar. It's too early to treat it as more than something to keep one eye on once in awhile, but it's nice to see there are some like-minded folks out there with the skills to at least try to make something happen.

Zoning & Fog: These are key for a Windows mmoRPG

-DAoC style mob spawns where they give chase for a limited distance
then run back is no good. Give me full zones like in 1999.

-Fog ties back into mystery.

Community, Identity, and Reliance

Adventuring & community are the heart of the game, and focus on single group activities and social experiences

Classes & Skills are designed to feel familiar, with distinct identities and interdependence

Even solo play ties into a greater/communal purpose

World & Starting City designs focus on longevity and long-term utility in order to maintain social friction and mitigate generational stratification

Pretty good so far, the one thing I haven't seen mention is Instancing.
This is a make or break point for me. I am totally anti-instance.
Real mmoRPGs are not instanced.

No mention of pvp, sadly.

Very interesting, though!
