Tldr: Game title is Enshrouded Erenshor.
That article (as well as many others nowadays) don’t even bother putting a link to the steam page.
And the game name, yet again, not in the title, hence you have to read everything to know what it is about.
Internet now is so crappy and click baity.
The game looks fun though, so I’ll go out of my way and actively search for Enshrouded Erenshor on steam myself like a peasant.
Edit: I managed to have the game name wrong, hence the importance to have ready to click links!
You’re right, I have bird memory and when I looked on steam the wrong one popped up, adding g to my confusion.
Thanks for the heads up, I corrected my comment.
I hate it when articles have links that look like they might take you to a relevant page about the linked text, like the game’s steam page, but instead take you to another older article about the same thing on the same site.
Meanwhile, I loathe in-article links to the store page which are disguised as links to other, earlier coverage on the subject the article is discussing. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
@cm0002 This puts me in the mind of the old .hack// series of single-player JRPGs, but from a Western perspective.
If they take some creative liberties with it to give it its own distinct feel and narrative, as the .hack// games did in their day, it could be a pretty charming game once it’s out of Early Access.
It’s a great idea, sadly the EQ gameplay does not interest me at all, but I’m all in for the idea of fake players in a single player/small coop only “FMMORPG”. I’d love it if people tried to do this with every multiplayer game before sunsetting them.
kingdom of amular or something technically too, it was like an mmo that got turned into a single player game part of the way through development, could be another game from the ps3 im thinking of
Best time I ever had playing WoW was the single player project. The bots are fairly convincing most of the time. Even though they may trash talk, you never need to worry about being full on harassed.
I picked this up the other day and it’s great! The SimPlayers go on their own little adventures, party together, and fill the chat with nonsense. I had this one guy accuse another of being a bot.
It’s really worth trying if you’re into the traditional mmo gameplay (grinding). But without the fuss of dealing with real people and their own schedules that fight against your own. For anybody who wants to try it out, there’s a demo which covers the first area.

You sure about that? FTA
Seems like it might have been autocorrect, but thats kinda hilariously ironic.
Agreed, and ambarassing as well hahaha

I don’t go for early access games but hot damn am I tempted. But if I lose a roll for a good bit of loot to a bot I’m gonna be pissed.
Just part of the mmo experience lol. Other player is a warrior and selected “need” on a wizard staff

Dragon Age: Inquisition feels rather like a single-player MMO.
When did .Hack//Sign come out, again? 🤔
It’s so fucking weird that this game/anime is all I’ve been thinking about for the last week and now to see it mentioned in the wild, unprompted.
Guys, quit mind reading/algorithming me. This and the ghibli shit. No one should have to vibe this much with the internet.
I’ve been playing through the first one. It’s definitely a good time.
.Hack//Infection did a great job simulating an MMO for its time

I feel like it could be a really clever way of making a horror game
Massively single-player. I like it.
This was something that I always dreamed of as a kid growing up playing WoW with shitty internet back in the day, will have to take a look at it
Didn’t Shroud of the Avatar do this first?
Oh wow thats a name i never expected to see again. I knew a guy who blew a ton of money on that game years ago.
kingdom of amular or something technically too, it was like an mmo that got turned into a single player game part of the way through development, could be another game from the ps3 im thinking of
Nah you’re right. KoA was exactly that. More recently we have Wayfinder having a similar story.
And it was great!
No, the .hack series did. I believe the first game came out 23 years ago

No one talks in real mmos anymore so this would be welcome
Unless you go on an ERP server
I don’t think Runescape has those
Bro, let me Rimmington your Falador while you Edgeville, and then I’ll Karamja my Wizard’s Tower in your Waterfall Dungeon.
If my boyfriend talked to me like that, he’d already be pregnant.
Hell yeah, Slayer!
Goat simulator had an mmo simulator.
There was also an achievement for licking a friend, if you played at the same time as one of your friends, they may pop up as one of the ingame NPCs.
