Some members of the blockchain gaming community believe that Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) will bring the swagger back to the Web3 gaming industry.
MMORPGs are complex games where players can interact with each other, organize themselves to complete tasks, and create player-driven economies. Many believe that blockchain technology that allows digital ownership is perfect for this gaming genre, as a thriving MMORPG economy has been successfully built in the traditional gaming space. Albion Online, World of Warcraft and EVE Online are a few examples.
Let’s take a look at a few MMORPG games being built in the Web3 space:
Ember Sword (polygon)
Ember Sword is a social sandbox classless MMORPG project developed by Bright Star Studios. It boasts a player-driven economy in the Thanabus world. The map is divided into four regions, Duskeron, Ediseau, Sevrend and Solarwood. Cosmetics seem to be the most important thing Non-Fungible Token (NFT) integration into the game, while players can profit from owning land in the game. A plot sale took place for the region of Solarwood last year, and an early demo of the game came out in the middle of the year.

Star Atlas is still in development, although the team has regularly updated the community on its progress.

Outer ring (BNB chain)
Space-themed MMORPGs abound as Outer Ring positions itself as a sci-fi fantasy game with a more cartoonish art style compared to Star Atlas. According to their whitepaper, players are free to choose their paths in the game, as it does not have a specific story to follow. Five species inhabit this metaverse: Earthlings, Va’ans, Oracles, Scavengons, and Mechs. The game is currently in the pre-sale phase, with their marketplace opening earlier this month.
