Title: Funcom Makes 3rd MMO
Post by: garthilk on March 08, 2007, 01:26:53 PM
So while at GDC one of the developers let it slip they're ankle deep in their third MMO. That it's based on the here and now real world, and that the vague hint I personally recieved, "It's in the wiki". Not a lot to go on, but figured it's enough to start speculating with.

Yeah, there's been some small talk about this in the past as well. Not much information released yet though. I think I've seen the small wiki entry but can't remember where.

The game will feature an original setting created by Funcom, with contemporary elements as well as "magic, myths, conspiracies and dark horrors".

Depending on how true this statement is it could be a very interesting game and something totally different from the fantasy drek out there. Maybe a Cthuluesque game?

The quote comes from this document:

Sounds like a "Buffy Online" type game?

That's like saying Turbine is on their 4th MMO.  After AC1, all Turbine games have sucked.

Does this mean when I have a parcel quest I get to dress up as a guy from TNT and get a van as a mount?
