New MMO Gatheryn Looks Promising
First off before any of the core elements of Gatheryn can be explored, one thing needs to be made known, this game will have steam powered robotic monkeys. Tell me you don’t want to play it now.
Gatheryn features a rich Victorian world where steam powers all the fantastic and impossible machines, in Mindfuse’s brand new MMO targeted at more casual gamers. I’m guessing the Mindfuse goal is to get the attention of gamers that don’t have the time to invest in a World Of Warcraft or Everquest type MMO, in which accomplishing a lot can take a lot of time.
Instead Gatheryn will feature a community based world, focusing on tasks and adventures that won’t be too daunting for even the most inexperienced MMO players, or those that have never played an online game before.
No doubt it’s not primed to be anything like a WoW killer, which now is up to 11million players paying upwards of $13 a month. But Gatheryn promises an engaging premise, and will no doubt be worth a try. I know I’m interested in a world where Victorian clothes are fashionable, and where any number of impossible and creatively developed steam machines line the streets.
And once again, steam powered monkeys? Who doesn’t want to see that.
