Effigy has received a rename. New name for Iron & Magic. Recall that this is a project in the MMORPG genre with an open world. Richard Garriott himself took on the development (Ultima Online, Lineage, Lineage II, Tabula Rasa), the details of the gameplay and mechanics of Iron & Magic are still unknown. However, the game's website encourages players to buy plots of land created by Lord British, one of the characters in Ultima and the alias of Richard Garriott.
Prices for the plots are also still unknown, only a few 3D models with the names Hills, Oasis and Forest have been published. In addition to plots, players will be able to buy libraries and magic shops.
Richard Garriott works as a creative consultant for Iron & Magic. But Tod Porter is seo ggamedev studio DeMeta, formerly led Ion Storm and had experience at Origin Systems on games such as Ultima VI and Wing Commander.
Garriott and Porter announced Iron & Magic (codenamed Effigy) in April, saying it would take the MMORPG genre to the next level. Lord British (Garriot) stated that DeMeta will try to make blockchain games transparent to players and take on the reward model like Minecraft or Roblox. Richard Garriott is a seasoned MMORPG veteran, Ultima Online and Lineage II does not even require an introduction. It is important to note that these are the successes of the past and they relate to classic games, but crypto games differ significantly not only in terms of audience, but also in terms of economy. I wonder if they can make a new hit? Time will tell. #DYOR
