Disillusioned with a genre that is quickly becoming overrun with ever more boring repetitions of the same old, same old and desperately in need of invention, it seems that a ray of light has finally broken through the clouds and is shining a little flavor into the stagnant MMORPG space. Ashes of Creation. A game that promises a lot, shows a lot of potential and has made the hearts of many an MMORPG fan beat faster.

Ashes of Creation is probably the most ambitious MMORPG ever conceived. It essentially hopes to be the dream that all MMORPG veterans have had throughout generations of the genre. A world that is truly shaped by player choice, where every adventurer’s path is unique and no two servers are the same.

Despite raising millions of dollars on their Kickstarter, the project is largely self-funded by Steven Sharif, the founder and CEO of Intrepid Studios, which develops the games. That’s because, like you, he’s an inveterate MMORPG nerd who’s grown disillusioned with the direction of the genre.
