Linkrealms - content creation in a gaming world
January 6, 2009
Linkrealms is a new MMORPG currently in beta. On the face of it, Linkrealms appears a bog-standard role-playing gaming world. Reading through the FAQ however, reveals a few differentiating points:
- Players will be able to have their own plot of land and can create individual content on that land
- Unlike a lot of MMORPGs, there’s no need to commit to a specific class or race - skill sets can easily be altered over time
- Linkrealms will only be accessible to adults, presumably to minimise risks associated with free-form content creation and chat
Developer Mythyn Interactive states in their FAQ that there’ll be no cost to play although on exit from beta there’ll be a premium subscription option plus virtual goods for sale. Graphically, it’s not too shabby at all, with a perspective not dissimilar to classics like Diablo. There’s also some superficial similarities to Metaplace. If Linkrealms pull off simple and effective content creation tools, they may find themselves a significant cohort of gamers wanting something a little different.
The short video below gives some overview of the Linkrealms experience:
We’ll follow Linkrealms’ development over coming months. A big thanks to Poinky for the heads-up.
