The Repopulation Discusses Two PvP Rulesets

Dealing with PvP in an open world setting is always a challenging endeavor for MMORPG developers. Above and Beyond Technologies has a particularly rough problem with the sandbox nature of their upcoming scifi MMORPG, The Repopulation. Today we get a look into the current iteration of proposed rulesets for the standard and hardcore server.

Repopulation PvP Rulesets

While the standard servers will function similar to realm versus realm styled MMORPGs with an open warfare ground resting in the middle for faction bragging battles and fortification building/sieging, the news of how the hardcore servers vary is quite unusual. Players will be denied many of the global functions of the economy including auctions and banking. While the systems will still be in place to allow a global economy to function, it’s the delivery of said products that is limited. Chances of destruction and looting of your goods upon death are high and players will be gunning for such caravans hoping to strike it big during transportation.

The total details being discussed are massive and worth a full read to fully understand. Catch them all at The Repopulation’s site.

Shining Empire

Billed as a spiritual successor to Shining Force, Shining Empire is a retro-styled MMORPG. Reborn from the shut-down Shining Force Online, Shining Empire aims to offer a hybrid single player and multiplayer experience.

Features:

Unlimited Armies: You will be able to command an unlimited sized army, battling in giant battles that may take hours to complete! Since battles will be so epic, you will also be able to save mid-battle.

Factions Struggle: Different factions will struggle against each other through single player and multi-player actions, including ambushes, bribes, and more.

Empire Anvil: A special toolset, Empire Anvil will let you create your own adventures including graphics, music, scripts, and more.

An Explorable World: Players will be able to buy land (or steal it), build structures, dig, forge, and more.
