After Harald died, though, these codes became black boxes that not even the developers of game understand.Įnter Kite, a new The World player who's invited by his friend Orca, who just happens to be a pro at the game. So, he creates these special system functions in the game to track and code behavior from the players of The World to create the AI. His secret agenda? Development of an ultimate artificial intelligence that can make decisions for itself. Her death sparked Harald's foray into making the game. See, The World was created by Harald Hoerwick, who based the backstory of the game on an epic poem called the "Epitaph of Twilight", created by Emma Wielant. But, shortly before the games (the ones YOU'RE playing), events start happening in The World that leads to a number of users becoming comatose.blame is placed on cyberterrorism.but like any conspiracy, something more is going on. Anyway, "The World" garnered over 20 million players and becomes the most popular online game of all time. They'd.have to get "lives" *gasp*!īut seriously, would suck for a whole lot of people. Imagine, today, if those thousands of World of Warcraft, Old Republic, and FF11 players suddenly couldn't play their games anymore. The game involves "The World", an MMORPG launched a few years after a computer virus known as "Pluto's Kiss" crashes world computers and the Internet is shut down for security concerns (huh, familiar). Possible Spoilers for those ahead, you've been warned. Enhanced, with a new episode and mechanics to boot. A game that (at least partially), is coming back. I'm talking about a series that was a little meta, where you play a game as a person who is playing a MMORPG. But of course, any reviewer out there wants to be first to praise or belittle a work, so each part is going to be up for judgement. It's judgement on a PART of something that's not finished. Because taken separately, ok, can see the point.but again, it's EPISODIC. Taken separately, these games were regarded as "more of the same" more or less. There were four volumes, it was all one story, and the improvements from one volume to the next were slim. One game series in the past was sort of like an Episodic game. Fantastic powers (and then migrate over to Marvel for alter-universe auditions). Some big names may do it because of size, time, and, again money.įrom a fan's perspective, it means waiting months or longer to continue a story, hanging on a cliff so long they should all have developed Mr. Some indie developers can't get everything out in one go due to time, error management, and money. I don't like the concept of Episodic Adventures.
