If you really care, the MUD Wiki on Fandom , started in the wake of the great Wikipedia purge of MUD content, has you covered. All the content in the game was just data in fields. On MOOs and LPMuds, you had a lower barrier for adding features, but you also had a higher barrier for “just making content.”

So what we end up with, over time, is a “tradition”, or traditions within a blanket term like “RPG” There are so-called “ARPGs” like Diablo, JRPGs like Final Fantasy, CRPGs like Ultima, tactical RPGs like Fire Emblem, and so on. Over the years, I have loved games in all of these categories.

The update has been received with mixed reactions in social networks , with players praising the gameplay additions and big amount of new playable content, but disliking the strong focus on loot boxes. KPIs are significantly below hits like Marvel Snap or Clash Royale , and the game is still below the category leader TeamFight Tactics.

Let people play out the fantasy Simulation is key for a successful VR game. It’s clear that simulation, as both a genre and concept, is far more popular in VR than in Console and PC games. So if you’re ever stuck for ideas, think about what roles or fantasies your players will want to experience , and take it from there.

Thanks to a crazy head engineer with a god complex, ten thousand players are now playing an ultra-realistic fantasy game in a virtual world with real-world stakes.

I think the “smaller Apple Arcade” concept is a bit of a red herring. At that point, the developer will work overtime to produce content but see no return for their investment as the revenue is spent on fuelling further growth. Plus they have a library of world-class content. Though same was said of Amazon….

This marks its true public release, with finished graphics, gameplay, tuning, more sex, and finally an ending. L of semen for each one.
