Intrepid Studios has released a new video, showing 1 hour and 45 minutes of gameplay footage from Ashes of Creation. As the team noted, this is pre-alpha footage, meaning that you may notice numerous bugs.
Moreover, the game is still largely unpolished unoptimized. After all, the team’s primary focus is testing core systems and functionality. Additionally, you will see mechanics implemented that are not intended design. Also, many things will change and Art/FX will get polished up before the Alpha One release late this year.
Ashes of Creation is an upcoming MMORPG. The game will take place in a high fantasy open world that promises to offer choice, organic events, player narratives and massive communities. All of these come together in what the team calls its “Reactive World.” Players will shape the world through dynamic quests, castle sieges, the Node system, an economy that goes well beyond the auction house, and player housing (among many other systems).
Ashes of Creation will be using Unreal 4 Engine. The team also plans to make the game playable on mid-range hardware.
Like most MMOs, the game will offer PvE and PvP, will feature crafting, looting and trading systems, caravans, lots of quests, 8 distinct races at launch, and will allow players to survey and develop land anywhere in the world.
Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Are MMO-s still popular ? players tend to play more shorter bursts of games.(pushed out of plane kill ppl, stab stab or play lukuele and shooty hooty why not another round this),
Well WoW and FFXIV are still going strong.
There are always a couple of MMOs that keep on chugging and having lots of people, MMOs are certainly not dead at least.
Early Everquest was fantastic, but this just looks like every other simplified generic Warcraft game.
Thats what makes these crowd funded mmos so cringe, they all try to bring new life to ancient mmo tropes. The mmo grave yard is riddled with generic tab targeting mmos, WoW clones or not.
The last I looked into it was supposed to be more open world PvP and the like with all the good old school player driven stuff. Definitely caught my attention, but the whole Dark Ages of Camelot (that wow ripped off) combat and the like turns me off.
