Submission + - Jagex's new sci-fi MMORPG to abandon 'grinding' (mechscapeworld.com)
OtakuPersona writes: Jagex, creators of the browser-based MMORPG RuneScape, have claimed that their upcoming sci-fi MMORPG MechScape will be different to all other MMOGs on the market. They investigated other sci-fi MMOs to identify why they were often so unsuccessful and "discovered that these games were nothing more than fantasy mechanics dressed in a sci-fi wrapper. Having a set of skills that you level up through grinding is basically a fantasy mechanic. So from here they identified what game mechanics make a good sci-fi game, and they have developed most of these as completely unique features that have never been seen in any MMO before".
While Jagex have been reluctant to say much about the project code named MechScape, fans have done a good job of bringing together all of the official and unofficial statements on the game. So read Ren's MechScape Research Summary to find out everything there is to know about what Jagex expect to release later this year.
