Last week’s Stars Reach trailer captured a lot of attention – so much that studio Playable Worlds decided to focus this week’s dev blog on explaining why it’s putting out another trailer so early in development, and a lot of that rationale seems to be in updating everyone’s impression of the MMORPG sandbox’s art.

2024/11/15

In the long long ago, it was so common for MMORPG players to leave a goodbye letter to their guild or server when quitting a game that it spawned whole memes, like the “can I have ur stuff” meme. I haven’t seen it quite so often these days, perhaps because so much server communication has […]
