Ashes of Creation is an open world MMORPG set in a fantasy environment where you can choose different classes and races to adventure through with your friends. Intrepid Studios is the developer behind the game. They’re technically an indie studio, but their creative director Steven Sharif has a clear vision for his video game: Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Game. He wants to put the massive back in MMO. Exploring dungeons, griding for gear, crafting armor/weapons, learning new spells, and competing in large scale PvP battles. High end PvE such as raids will mainly occur in the open world. Bosses will spawn and roam through the land. Are YOU ready to enter the world of Verra?

One of my biggest concerns for Ashes is the lack of interest from what I call “The instant gratification generation”. The sheer time sink for Ashes longevity is going to be so high, that I feel like it’ll be hard to pull in the generation that consumes information in 15 second clips.
UwU
😂 I didn’t expect that All Blacks shirt.
❤
Bunch of old men in this video. Can't wait for season 2, brother!
Nice All Black shirt, do you even know what it stands for?
Easy. We played good games in the past. Then new games launched and we fell for their promises. We were disappointed by those games and fell for the promises of the next big mmo. With every new disappointment we realized more and more why we loved the first good games we played. AOC promises to bring back the feeling and gameplay of the old good games.
The younger generation doesn't have the comparison to the better games in the past. They can't understand, why we want systems back, that to them seem dated and have no appeal. I hope AOC will introduce these generations to the experiences we had back in the day.
As a zoomer, I hope I can bring a wife and family to ashes of creation
Ah come on dont do me wrong like that 😂
I resemble that remark
You're so old because you were born a long time ago, grandpa
Even if you were 18 when you backed Ashes you'll be in your mid 20's by the times alpha 2 launches
As a 21 yr old man who has grew up playing video games. I think it comes down to two things.
1. MMO games past their prime
2. Other games coming in and capturing our attention.
I player Hardcore Classic for the first time last year and it was my first experience playing Classic and my friends exclaimed,” World of Warcraft? What are you? 50?”
BUT…come 3 minutes after I streamed they thought it looked cool and just didn’t have anyone to introduce them into it.
2. A lot of my friends played the looter-shooter game Destiny. That game has had my friends on a chokehold for a long time and I can confidently say that it definitely has a lot of similarities with MMOs.
The young generations like me will jump to an MMORPG, done well. And then we will become content creators the more we learn.
Ah another awesome Video: I am prob the oldest person you know who still plays MMOs. I'm 55, I have played every MMO out there…some died in less than 2 months (I'm tallking to you Shadowbane)….others lasted years (STILL playing Warcraft in one form or another)….Eve Online is still going and look how old it is (2005 it start?). Ultima Online i played for years, that game was pretty harsh as anyone could and would PK you, and you lost everything. I love MMO's, i dont jump around from one game to another and tend to play the same one for years. (why does it sound like I am filling out a guild application lol)…..Keep up the videos Doc! we need the copium!
"one of the big ones". What other upcoming MMOs are a big one?
As far as I can tell all upcoming MMOs are either short on resources to make a competitive(in the market) MMO, or they're from a company who has fallen down the trap of modern day game dev business(what any respectable MMO'er is trying to escape).
The amount of passion and seriousness coming from Intrepid FAR FAR FAR exceeds anything I've seen in the works and they've got the resources to realize their vision. Even Ghostcrawler(maybe the most notable MMO dev), working on the RIOT MMO, hasn't even got a fraction of the passion, dedication and knowledge that Steven(backed by his team) is bringing to the table.
AoC is on an entirely different level.
so much anticipation for this game. if they do a good job on release then this game will be the most popular mmorpg. as far as i can see this game is going to be a blast from beginning to …….well there is no end.
I'm not old- you're old! So I teach these young kids and I talk video games with them frequently. I think Virtek got the closest on this one, younger generations are cultivated towards quick instant gratification, I've had students try to play mmo's and it seems they always look for the boost, are enticed to buy gold, etc. The desire to build on something and develop something is gone, I think about people who work on cars as a comparable example of this. While I think the competitive-ness of Ashes will attract the young kids, I don't think they have the ability to stick around. The reason why all the Ashes content creators are so old is we're the only ones able to invest in the A2 and the game isn't anywhere near launch so there's no way for the poor college kids to invest in something so far out.
one of them told, game will be finisht in next few years, that kild it… few more years !!!… 😀
my brother runs marathons. he wears crocs while running. He recently got unicorn status with the boston marathon. he is 66.
i ve been gaming ever since gray scale days. i remember when it was highly dangerous to go alone. games today are TOO easy. BTW this mmo player is 67.
Always hearing people say the mmorpg is a dying genre. I disagree, I think people like to say it because THEY are fed up with every mmo and just assume others are as well. They don't want to play anymore so they assume others don't as well. I think MMOs have slowed down for sure. But far from dead.
Every day on steam FFXIV, ESO, New world, BDO average 20-30k players each. ESO and FFXIV have console versions which steam doesn't track so there are sure to be thousands more. And that's not counting wow. Blizzard doesn't release player counts. But looking at warcraftlogs, if you add up all the Mythic + parses from the last 2 weeks its over 10 million dungeon runs. And that's just dungeons and just people recording logs, it doesn't count raids, leveling players, people that didn't run a dungeon etc. Hell, there are over 400k logged dungeons in just the last 24 hours. There are still millions of players daily between all platforms logging into MMORPGs.
And sure you always get the guy that says "They are just playing because there is nothing else to do". We need to not assume so much. Is it so hard to believe that they could possibly enjoy the game? Rant over 🤣
this the best one yet
(1:09) Did you catch that? "The list goes on…", but EVERYONE starts with Wildstar. The greatest game that should still be except fixed so it's not so boring at the end.
As an old man, I'd like to answer this question: It's because the younger generation is looking for something they can attach themselves to and love. Unfortunately, MMOs die so regularly that younger people do not want to invest the time into something that could disappear six months after launch.
