So it seems SONY and Minecraft have went into some sort of a partenership with EQNext Landmark. It seems Landmark will be a FTP advanced Minecraft game that SONY will use to allow the community to build content for themselves as well as possibly for their games. Now obviously its SONY....and everything they say should be taken with very large grains of salt...however...it looks like they have been taking notes about whats been successful over the past few years in the MMO arena and started swiping ideas. Heres the article - http://www.polygon.com/2013/8/2/4582742/everquest-next-landmark-sony-online-entertainment Some interesting snippets from the article "An Earth Wizard can raise a stone wall and monsters have to path around it, or you can make a hole and pepper them with fire," he said. "Lots of characters' abilities do different types of deformation. Catapults can chew away at terrain." As players tear away at the surface of the planet they'll be able to explore deep into the land's bedrock. But where EverQuest Next is a story-driven experience, Landmark is an experience that, like Minecraft, is driven by creation. comparison of Minecraft objects and Landmark Objects - its easy to tell which is which As with Minecraft, players will have to find resources to use in their creations. Players can also find pre-built items spread across the worlds which they can take back to their land. They'll also find recipes and templates that can be used for creating items on specific sorts of crafting tables located in certain hubs in the world. Players can sell their creations to one another for real money for use, if appropriate, in either or both games. Players can also sell particularly good creations to Sony Online Entertainment for an "appropriate" fee. "If we get one million people playing Landmark," Georgeson said, "and ten percent start making things, and ten percent of those finish and ten percent of that isn't crap, that's still a thousand people making cool stuff. And we don't have 1,000 people on the development team." If this all lives up to the hype...or for that matter comes even close to it....im curious to the future of WURM.
