Well, it would at least be a very promising attempt to make me lose D20 sanity.

World of Lovecraft won’t work. A game with that name and probably tentacles in the font art will probably draw lots of thirty something hentai fetishists, and the .2 patch will introduce the Great Race of Jig and schoolgirls.

“-Craft” can be to MMOs what “Tycoon” is to Management games!

@Yhancik

I imagine we’ll see a trademark case brought against them by Blizzard.

Wait, did they actually call it “Crimecraft” ? :D

Will this open the doors to more ~craft MMOs ?

Ad supported?

If it’s like BF2142 and littered with Natwest Student Account and Bourne Slapremancy ads, I say BAH!

If there was money involved I’d have reservations to air but… free? This is excellent.

It’s an experiment where gamers lose nothing at all if it fails, while if it succeeds the genre may be improved.

“the crime MMO is the new fantasy MMO”

Love the tag, there. I’m pretty sure that every MMO has commerce and politics of some sort–it’s nice to see it being built into the core experience, though.

I also thought a “mega” metropolis was supposed to be called a “megalopolis.” Or maybe that’s the name of the city itself.

I would have my usual reservations about the crime genre, but…

Free, you say?

Ukrainian, you say?

Two magic words that warm my frozen, beef jerky heart.
