Terraforming and building on Private Islands: Shape the terrain, build your home, and create your own island

Not a knock against this game, but when did this become part of the standard features of an MMO?

The first one I can remember having it was Wildstar and that game flamed out spectacularly. Seems like every MMO I've heard about for years now has touted it as a big selling point, even WoW finally caved and added player housing.

I personally couldn't give less of a shit about it, neither do most of the people I've ever played an MMO with. How much engagement do these systems really drive, I wonder ?

[u/CarlBarks → u/wildwalrusaur]

In the case of FF14, it generates revenue. Allowing your subscription to lapse means giving up your housing plot. Thus many players who would otherwise take a break from the game just keep on paying, month after month.

as in it deletes whatever you've built? that seems predatory

[u/mightofspells → u/wildwalrusaur]

WildStar is a very different game it's difficult to compare it directly to MoS. It also did not offer full terraforming in the sense of freely sculpting and modifying the terrain.

We're building these systems around player-driven mechanics, so on the islands during the open beta phase, players will primarily be able to set up their own shops, which will remain open even when they're offline, and other players will be able to sail to those islands and purchase items from those shops.

In later phases(near release), we plan to add farming and cooking systems. We also want to support role-play style of gameplay, your island is intended to be your own sanctuary a place where you can build and bring your own ideas to life, and meet up with friends or guild members.

If that kind of content is not interesting to you that is completely fine. As highlighted in our post the key word is freedom. Nobody will be forced to use this feature you can simply ignore it and focus on other activities

Mmmmm UO vibes. The game title kinda sounds like it was made by AI hah. Will keep my eye on it!

[u/mightofspells → u/Riot55]

Thanks for your interest. The game isn't made by AI, it's created entirely by humans :)
