Dev Blog: How Will the Upcoming Steam Integration Work?
Welcome to Project: Gorgon!
Project: Gorgon is a 3D fantasy MMORPG (massively-multiplayer online role-playing game) that features an immersive experience that allows the player to forge their own path through exploration and discovery. We won't be guiding you through a world on rails, and as a result there are many hidden secrets awaiting discovery. Project: Gorgon also features an ambitious skill based leveling system that bucks the current trend of pre-determined classes, thus allowing the player to combine skills in order to create a truly unique playing experience.
The Project: Gorgon development team is led by industry veteran Eric Heimburg. Eric has over a decade of experience working as a Senior and Lead Engineer, Developer, Designer and Producer on successful games such as Asheron’s Call 1 and 2, Star Trek Online and other successful Massively Multiplayer Online Games.
Any update on a new date? It'd be much easier to manage my install using my limited SSD space using a Steam install so I'm just waiting on that.
We don't have an exact day to announce, but it's currently going through the Steam process and we are expecting that to be complete this upcoming week.
i was just linked this thread, so sorry for late reply to it but uhm... so favor is going to be wiped? i remember way back before (might be remembering wrong though) that it was "undecided but probably not" so you decided to wipe favor for sure?...
We've never said that we wouldn't wipe favor and as per the FAQ, "That said, we will be wiping some aspects of your character including but not limited to: items, currency, NPC favor levels, and favor-quests."
I think the devs are being generous in letting us keep skills and recipes. Most games wipe entirely at full release. We get to keep the most important part, I'm fine with that.
Favor represents top price paid, storage, money pool available, and access to many things. I think the economy will be much more robust with the wipe and everyone struggling a bit. It means less of a have and have-nots scenario.
However, can you imagine how crowded the beginning locations will be to gather favor items? Not to mention a new person will not even have a chance...
It will be chaos for everyone for a few days, new and old alike, but the higher level characters will be off to other zones immediately. Surveying, and skinning are the two best favor items early on. The first doesn't have competition, and it's actually easier to survey when any critter in a zone is dead in 5 seconds Elt/serb/serbhills will be packed at first, but by the end of the day there will be people hunting in ilmari, rahu, and kur.
