Project: Gorgon

Unlike most modern MMO's, this game will not hold your hand. It will give you a weapon, give you a 30-second tutorial, and then toss you out into the world kicking and screaming. There are plenty of quests out there to keep you busy, and it encourages you to jump between zones to learn certain skills before you can progress with your starter-zone quests. The player community is very helpful to answer any questions you might have. Once you get past its rough graphic and learn how to navigate its interface, this game is great.

I was looking for a game like EQ2 and had originally went with Pantheon...which I hated. Found this title and absolutely love it. Has so much content and skills/loot to grind. Yeah, dated graphics, but the gameplay loop is really fun. Want to become a spider? Go for it. Want to be a necromancer? Do it. Want to have an army of pigs? Why not. Fun stuff.

Peak. If you miss challenging sandbox MMO games that reward paying attention, reading, and community engagement with TONS of skills and rabbit holes to go down, this is the game for you. So much fun for the pricepoint and I can't stop. The writing and the world is so charming. I have no idea what I'm doing but every session I feel like I made progress.

Life before death.
Strength before weakness.
Gameplay before graphics.

Classic Mmo play through .Hoping for more skills, areas and additional content

I've got a character that shouts and shames his enemies to death. I learned this skill by making an npc an antidepressant from scratch so he would be in a good enough mood to lend me his book to read. I then got another npc to teleport me off the starting island early.

If you want a game that has multiple ways to tackle things, you'll probably like this one.

I was walking through Serbule Keep, going about my day, when I spot a rather "different" deer. Turns out it was a player who became a deer in an earlier version of the game, when the model had a very different texture. I shapeshifted into a deer form and sat near him with a few other deer. I asked for his wisdom and before I knew it there were about 20 or so deer players following this strange deer.

We spent two or so hours recruiting people into our deer movement, handing out deer juice as though it were water. It is some of the most fun I've had in a while, and I made absolutely no progress to any of my goals and I'll easily do it again.

This game is insane and super addictive. It has so much to do its overwhelming. Its can be very frustrating trying to understand whats going on but that's part of the fun. I legit had zero idea this game had as much content as it does. It legit 1000s of hours of game play. It has many ideas from games such as Diablo 3 and Runescape to name a few. I could write a book about this game only after 63 hours of game play hell even after 15 hours on all the stuff going on. Its to hard to put into words but it has a free demo that lets u level skills up until 20 and its cheap to buy the full game ranging from $12 on sale to $20 when not. So give it a go with the demo to see if ya like it i bet you will. Its refreshing to have found a gem like this after years of the trash i been playing. As for the sub its about as ptw as Path of Exile its pretty much u gets skins every month and more storage lots and more char slots but one char can play everything unless u get into animal forms that are perma. No way to buy power or anything like that. Whats weird to me is this game says it only has 200 players on steam but no matter where i go what dungeon go into its always packed with people farming or running around. Not sure if there is a client version but it might have one so don't think for a second this game is dead its not. Anyway this game is 100% a 8/10 or higher for me.

A hidden gem amongst MMOs.

Lots of "races" you can be, can even turn into animals (spiders, deer, cows, wolves etc). The main races are human, elf, khajiit and the fairy/fae race. Two others are in process of coming out, dwarves and something else.

Community is some of the best, everyone is so friendly and helpful. It is however a pretty small playerbase, but I often see people most places I go. And I think recently there has been a big uptick in population from sales and maybe there are more youtube videos/twitch streams about it, not sure. But there is a lot of new players (like me) joining the game right now as of this review.

Graphics are...not the focus. Its definitely gameplay+community-content and graphics last as a focus. Not that they are the worst thing out there, but its not going to look like Witcher or Cyberpunk or a modded skyrim by any means. If you care ONLY about graphics, and don't care if gameplay (usually) suffers for it, probably look elsewhere. Other than that, the game is a ton of fun. There is a lot of puzzles and figuring things out on your own. There is no quest markers or quest paths to tell you where to go or what to do...which some may or may not like these days.

Also there is a LOT of skills to raise/train, and a lot of hidden things littered around. Really focuses on exploring and figuring things out. There is a wiki if do need help, and in-game chat is super helpful even with probably rather dumb questions I've had lol.

Highly recommend if you want an open non-handholding MMO with really fun gameplay, tons of content and a great community.

So far the game is absolutely insane I don’t think I have played a game with so many skills that doesn’t overwhelm you it’s crazy the game is like morrowind on crack the only slight issue is the graphics are a bit dated this game deserves a much higher player base

Absolutely amazing community and a labor of love. It has that old school MMO feel of earning your skills and adventuring rather than rushing to 'end game'. The flavor text is worth reading and often hilarious, it has been a long time that I've just slowed down and enjoyed an MMO like I am Project Gorgon. The discord is always active and there is normally someone always around to offer advice or help.

I participated with the community in celebrating, dancing and drinking an hour before the community poetry jam and someone dropped a keg of beer. After some synchronized dancing (yes it is a real mechanic) I drank from it 3 times, gained 2 levels of alcohol tolerance and promptly died of alcohol poisoning. It just so happened that i hit level 10 in dying from this and so I "Went to the light" instead of respawning like normal and met my guardian angel who told me how many times I have died. He then proceeded to watch me spin in circles due to being drunk and I died several more times as alcohol poisoning does not go away from death. No one tells you this death area is also a method of fast travel with portals to many main towns! 10/10 great game and MMO and fun classes and class combination system with almost Runescape like lifeskills and crafting and a very fun tight community that is welcoming and helpful.

As of this review my play time is at 5 hours. I'm not confident it will hit 10, might not even hit 7. BUT... I'd still recommend this game. I've had a good chunk of fun so far, this game just isn't for me... I'm very familiar with the MMO genre over the past 25 years and I find it refreshing how open this game is. That same openness can also be off-putting, in the sense that there are a crazy amount of skills, systems and more, none of which are explained terribly well.

So why recommend it? Well, there's nothing else like it out there, and to me that's worth the price of admission alone. I made friends with a rat and then passed out drunk. Woke up to a guy playing a trumpet. I'll hang on to that gaming memory and I appreciate that very much. The community is very friendly and willing to help. This game is a BIG time investment, so know that going in.

If ur into old school mmos and don't mind about patato graphics this game is a gem.

How do I put this.
I've had this on my wishlist for years and letting it cook.
Didn't really know much about it, and lets be honest the graphics look dated from videos/screenshots, so I wasnt overly eager to try it.

I finally did however, and I gotta say this is probably the first time in the last 20 years that I've been properly captured again with the same kinda vibe that SWG used to have.
It's not like it really looks like SWG, or have a similar setting or anything like that, but it has that feel.
There is so many creative and new systems, new angles and multitudes of options that is not part of the standard MMORPG package.
I'm honestly surprised at how many mechanics I hadn't seen before and am enjoying.
So many classes/professions to combine, stuff to grind, social systems including song, dance, poetry.. love it.

The GFX could be better, but it's better ingame then what the videos how, and movement/animations, GUI and all that is very smooth and simplistic, so no "indie game syndrome" there.

Gotta get back to playing now!

This MMO is one of the best IMO!. Very Immersive, a lot to do. Crafting, Dungeons, tons of skills to learn, various ways play. You have a primary and secondary skill which, when combined can do tons of damage. Graphics are not triple AAA however, you tend to loose time in with all kinds of things to do. Would Recommend!

What if you were making an MMO with only two thoughts in your brain:

1) the best thing in MMOs is exploration, which is more than just quests and the map?
2) what happens if you actually commit to isekai anime bit of everything is a skill and everything you do unlocks random new things?

Put 200 developers on an idea like this and it wouldn’t be even a sliver as interesting as this is. The absolute chaos of a couple of minds pouring passion and ideas into a single project over years of work. Almost reminds me of Maid Marian games, RPGmo, and definitely harkens back to 00s MMOs with extremely grand ideas, but with the tools to actually try them. Games fucking incredible, a the same time it’s also a mess and a thousand layers deep.

Surprisingly fun and indepth.

If you are looking for a Slower paced MMO that centers itself around classless advancement of literally hundreds of unique skills, this is the game!

There are no set classes (though most will probably start with a sword, or bow or other common weapon) meaning you can start learning a totally new skill on one character at any time.

Is your Hardened knight tired of slaying thousands with sword? Have you tried.... Psychology? The art of misdirecting your enemies or damaging them through hurtful cutting words. Yeah that's literally a skill.. its actually pretty awesome too. "Tell me about your mother" is a Crowd control spell under Psychology, where the enemy if they fail the save will start telling you about their mother unless someone attacks them LOL.

the game doesn't take itself too seriously, and at the same time offers seriously indepth skills and crafting.

ive only scratched the surface of what this game has to offer, but if your reading the reviews trying to decide if its for you... let me help you with that, it is.

it has a free demo you can play, that allows you to really get started on the Tutorial Island and decide if its your playstyle or not (limited to max skill level of 15 in any skill). Then if you buy the Title for 19.99, you can continue that characters journey to maximum skill levels.

by skill level 7 in swords i knew This was a title for me. Hope to see you in game!

This game is pretty interesting when it comes to having things to do (lots of interesting skill types), and then spends the majority of its mechanics punishing you for or outright preventing you from doing them.

The "economy" is non existent, there are no vendors you can rely on to sell items for any amount of income, because their purchasing cash is extremely limited and resets WEEKLY, so you will routinely have an inventory full of junk that might be ideal to sell, but with no one to buy it. This is "fixed" by gaining favor with random vendors to apparently increase their buyback amounts, and the way you do this is by "hanging out" with them outside of the game while you're offline. Yes, this game incentivises you to NOT PLAY IT. The more you don't play, the more favor you can gain!

Worse still, even if you did have money to buy training or advance in anything (you won't) learning even basic skills (use a staff, learn a single basic magic spell) is a game of hide and seek with NPCs scattered and hidden throughout the area that you may or may not eventually run into, so you will spend a lot of time necessarily learning skills or weapon types you might not care for until you eventually run into one of these people and then do a lot of backtracking to learn what you actually wanted to, assuming you get that far.

The community seemed fine, the help channel was generally helpful, but there are better options that don't punish you for trying to engage with it.

Great indie MMO that was made with a lot of love. If you enjoy skyrim or elder scrolls online you will feel right at home with this game.

I really like the skill system in this game. Very creative but also designed in a way that encourages people to try new things. For example even a failed Skinning attempt still gives some xp, which means that even failure has some value.

tried to play. Automatically windowed. Can't see everything. No option for full screen available (no options available).
Looks like Everquest I alpha. Its 2025. Disappointed.

Easy to get into MMO. But don't let that fool you, there are hundreds of things to do! Tons of classes to mix and match. Tons of professions to dive into. A small but helpful community. Whether solo or with friends you can find something new to do and places to go every time you log in.
Get lost! Explore and find new creatures and dungeons in each new zone. In game events happen all the time, be prepared for poetry jam's every Saturday!

I have enjoyed this very much. Love the content and atmosphere.

Probably the best MMORPG released after 2013.

Were EQ, WoW, FFXIV, and even LOTRO better games at their peak? Objectively, yes. Are the new gen MMORPGs (ESO, BDO, NW, LA)? I don't think any of them are.

Fun game, lots of skills to work on and doesn't hand hold you. All positives

So much to do, such a great community as well! Takes me back to old school MMOs. 10/10 will play again.

You come for the old school vibes but stay for the hilarious NPC dialogue and crazy in-depth skill synergies. I hope they can fully release this someday but honestly I'm just vibing and enjoying myself already in Early Access. It's a small, dedicated team and awesome community so download the demo and give it a shot.

This is an amazing, niche MMO that any fan of the genre should check out just to see what it does differently and well. It's a shame this game doesn't get the love it deserves. The playerbase is small, but all the players are helpful and friendly. The world is huge and exciting, like MMOs used to be.

This game is kinda rough but its fun you can do alot, most people are friendly and helpful. the S*x pest enjoyers will get a kick out of it, roll an elf I know you want to, vile fiends. or become a cow and beat the life out of your enemies I hope the updates keep flowing. has alot of potential.

Who loves old School MMORPGs will love this game. Given the graphics are not the best but its not ugly. It plays like a fresh breeze between all the newer Pay2Win MMOs! Has tons of content and endless possibilities. A very intuitive Skill System and you can adjust almost anything in the Settings. Clear recommendation for this game!

Terrific MMORPG created with passion and attention to detail, without the issues that greed driven MMORPGs have created.

I love this game. There are tons of skills to try out and grind. All sorts of different combat, crafting, and miscellaneous ones like gambling. For me the game scratches an itch somewhere in between runescape and wow. You pay for the game once and you have it, no subscription needed. There is a tutorial that you can probably get several hours out of to try out the game. There's usually about 100 people online. I've seen the same people a lot over the couple years I've played the game, so it really feels like a community to me more then other mmo's I've played. My interactions with players have always been positive. People are quick to help if you ask. If you want to solo and do your own thing alone, you can do that to and no one bothers you. $20 is a great price for the large amount of stuff to do I think, it seems to go on sale once or twice a year for $10. Updates are slow since it's a small team, but there's a lot of different things to do and stuff to try out. I still haven't gotten to last couple of zones after 200 hours since I've been leveling different skills and gaining favor with the NPC's. I highly recommend the game.

Picked this up with my buddy today. Lost track of 4 hours very quickly. Still haven't made it to the first town (in a good way) and just enjoying every minute of it. Community seems great. Saw a dance party to another players custom tunes in a random Inn. Good stuff 10/10.

Fantastic game so far! It scratches that MMO itch I havent felt since OSRS days. Over 150 skills is absolutely insane, especially with so many creative and unique ways to play. Good quests and storyline. No microtransactions. Relatively bug free. A few graphical glitches, but it IS in early access. Nothing game breaking yet. Honestly really immersive too. It also is surprisingly populated and people are friendly. A couple QoL things could be done slightly better, but overall a pretty clean and smooth UI. Not heavy on the hardware either. Definitely worth the 20 bucks!

Project Gorgon. WHAT. A. GAME.

This crew deserves all the funding and love in the world. They have made such a unique and well crafted game and I have never had so many unique experiences in one weekend, than I have with Project Gorgon. Admittedly the graphics are little dated, but the game-play is solid gold, especially if your a fan of old-school MMOs.

I forgot how to edit my skill bar, so I requested assistance in global chat.

A deer ran up to me with the answer, then pranced off into the distance.

10/10.

I keep failing to give Gorgon my attention, but I'm rectifying that recently, and boy is it a great experience. As close to actual freedom as I can imagine getting in an MMO.

Probably the nicest community in any MMO, maybe tied with LOTRO.

So I've been playing this game for a little, and even though I haven't gotten close to exploring a fraction of what it has to offer I decided to share my first thoughts and impressions of the game.

Starting off on the beach of an Island felt nostalgic right off the bat, it reminded me of games like Risen and Gothic. Making my way around the beach, slicing up skeletons with a sword to get a feel for how combat works. And the skill system is kinda reminiscent of things like Skyrim or Valheim where you gain exp with a weapon by using it. I have only tried out a few weapon types but combat in general feels great, usually in most modern MMOs the enemies will just stand still and be largely unaffected by what you do, outside of stuns etc. Project Gorgon has stuns, but you can also knock your enemy back, giving some attacks a truly weighty and impactful feel.

The first few quests I encountered were awesome, some requiring you to read carefully, others need you to go around and collect intel and note it down, the Quest tab provides you with an ingame notepad to write things down you might need to memorize later, and that's actually one of my favorite features I kid you not. xD

I've heard only good things about the community, and in towns there is always a lot of people. Some even dancing and playing music to grant you buffs by just standing near them. I haven't even gotten around to interacting with people yet. Right off the island I set off on my journey out of town. To level up some skills, hunt down some gear and after wandering around, learning the basics of gardening and cooking I didn't even realize how many hours had already passed at that point. Time flies when you're having fun and oh boy did I have a blast.

My journey so far peaked in ending up in a cave full of spiders, fighting and slashing my way through them to train up and gather some drops from crafting. Ended up ditching my blade, and chose to train up my bare hands instead. So after punching hundreds of spiders to death I eventually made it to the end of the cave where a way bigger, badder spider awaited me. I jumped at it, thinking I had this after wandering these caves for so long but nope the spider quickly poisoned me, stunned me and then even other smaller spiders joined in and I was dead in mere moments.

I decided to keep on training in these caves until I had the gear and means to overcome this last challenge in there. Luckily discovered a recipe for a poison resistance potion, and eventually I made some and stocked up on them. Hours later I still wandered the caves, clad in fully spider-web encrusted armor beating up spiders and picking up anything remotely useful, sometimes I went out back to the Tavern nearby to sell some things and cure some sicknesses that amassed in my time in the spider caves. Eventually getting back in and fighting my way through 'em once more.

Eventually this popped up in my game chat 'You are overcome with thoughts of damp, and rot, and love and hate. ' and not knowing what it was I, I thought wow did crawling through a damp, spider infested caves for hours on end have me go insane..?! I later found out it was related to my growing mushroom addicition. But it's little things like these that make this game so special and entertaining. And I know this is just me sharing my first experiences in a truly scatterbrained fashion, but I hope I managed to do it justice.

If you can look past graphics, and appreciate gathering, crafting and gear hunting. (There's prolly more things I just haven't even seen yet tbh) Then maybe give Project Gorgon a shot, I do not regret it.

Hope to see you there!

Are you an old school MMORPG player from the early 2000s ( UO , EQ, AC etc.. ) and have stopped playing MMO's as all the recent ones can't scratch that itch? Stop looking. This is it. I have not played an MMO since 2009 and today I played this 15 mins and was just blown away. All the feelings I had when I first started playing MMO's in 2000 came back .

This game has so much depth. The sense of exploration and discovery is amazing. The enemies behave like I've never seen in a MMO before. Puzzles that I have never seen in these types of games before. The skill system is so amazing and fun to discover and level up. It's early access yes but don't be fooled, this has a LOT to do with lots of skills to learn and level up. Lots of crafting and trade skill too and you can just buy the game and that's it. You don't have to buy the monthly sub. This is totally optional and it gives you extra things if you get it and helps out the team a lot but , you really don't need it to enjoy this game fully to the max.

I'm super hooked and I'm sure you will too if you especially have played and loved those old school MMORPG. But the best in all this is the community. My god the people in this game are so nice and helpful and the only way for this MMO to strive and for us to help and get the game.

Super heckin' fun, old school puzzles and creativity all DAY BABEHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good

I tried this game many years ago and it was very rough. This is a much smoother playing game now and i think most of the frustrations of the past are gone. With that said, I gave this another shot and I was quite surprised how much fun I am having. The game is a passion project between a husband and wife development team and I have kept up with the game a bit over its many years of it being a work in progress. Unfortunately the wife developer passed away from Cancer, so I just wanted to share my condolences on the DIscord, which led me to here, I had purchased the game long ago but never played it, so now I am here to pay my respects to that couple, and also make sure her work doesent go unappreciated so I can at least take another look.

Here is that look:

This is a classless, skill-up based game. Everything you do in this game levels up something in some form or fashion, and this makes it really fun. Its a very deep game. Don't be in any hurry to leave the Startrer Isle, there is more to do there than it seems and using that island to learn and level up your skills will keep the game from becoming too overwhelming too quick. Stay at the start island until you complete the tasks in To Do list in the quest journal, and get one or more combat skills up to about 10 before leaving the island, and you will be in good shape to travel to the main world. An old school MMORPG with higher player count than what Steam shows, due to the game being released independently of Steam many years ago. There was alot of people on the Starter Isle.

If you have a good imagination, and graphics and a little bit of jank doesent bother you, this will be one of the most fun experiences you will ever have. The demo gives you a ton of content for free, and if you decide to buy the game for 20 dollars, all your progress carries over. Sub is optional but not needed, its more to support the game and offers a little bit of extra inventory space but thats it.

Try it, the price is right for the value.

I'm about 20 hours in and absolutely addicted to this game. If you are looking for an oldschool EQ/AC like experience with modern QOL and an absolutely amazing community, I highly encourage you to check this out.

Mind boggling number of skills to try, fun combat, a sense of discovery I don't get very often from modern MMOs these days, and charming old school graphics truly have me hooked on this game for many many hours to come.

I had a great time with the game. I never played MMO's when I was younger and I didn't like them when I tried em in my college years. Most mmos were a grindy follow the marker kinda affair. What I really like about project gorgon is that the game felt shrouded in mystery and its encouraged not to look things up. I had a lot of times where talking to player in game is how I solved puzzles and quests or vice versa. That too me was great. There are a lot of skills to level and a lot of fun secrets. It is an MMO so the whole thing is fairly grindy but because the game doesn't tell me where to go or what to do I had a blast figuring things out. I havn't played in a long time and I do think a game like this succeeds only when it has players because of the high level of interactivity.

if i was going to sum it up in a few words id say it has a lot of depth customisation and old school rail free feel

so far(i havnt gotten even close to end game yet) it seems like a classic MMO
it dose have the big button window BUT its spaced out into 3 bars 6 primeary 6 secondary 6 support support on its own(all parts of interface can be draged to where u want them) and a lower texture/traditional look but dye able ext lots of different gear and good loot system, but where it really shines is very nice customisation for powers, u could lvl every single main power(not shapeshifts) on a single char it seems if you wanted and swap powers in bars to any primary/secondary combo you want, at will.
theres a main quest but its with a old school feel personally you find yourself all the little side nooks(skill learning merchant favour ext) so far rather than it being a pretty linear grind out the main quest with side stuff tacked on edges like a lot of modern MMO's

Hidden Gem!

When you ask an MMO player -- particularly one who is constantly pining after the 'old days' of RuneScape, WoW Classic, or Everquest -- what makes an MMO good, one of the main things they'll tout is the 'social elements'. Without modern conveniences and QOL features like WoW's dungeon finder, they say, you're forced to interact with your fellow humans to group up, share information, and trade goods.

I agree with those people. Mostly.

But I don't think they're what really make for a TRULY good social experience in an MMO. I think that will always come down to a game's community -- and Project Gorgon has the best community I've seen in a long, long time.

And that's what this review is going to focus on. If you want to learn more about the game's mechanics or systems, please feel free to ignore the rest of this review and keep scrolling -- others go into far more detail in this areas.

Sure, I could tell you about the game's ridiculous number of eccentric, silly, fun, and deep skills. I could tell you about how player werewolves are locked into werewolf form for 3 real-life days every month to coincide with the full moon. I could tell you how rewarding it feels to craft your own equipment and engage in the player economy. I could tell you about the mind-boggling number of creatures you can turn into, or how the NPCs react to each of these transformations organically, and in surprising ways.

But I'm not going to do that. I want to focus on the game's true strength, and that has to be its community.

On my second day in Project Gorgon, I was wandering through Serbule Hills, feeling a little lost and confused, when I stumbled upon another player, running around and punching critters to death. He was a little high, he told me, and needed a second to hit his blunt. Amused, I ran around with this unarmed brawler for a while, 'fisting rats' and generally taking care of a few quest mobs we needed to deal with, before he said he needed to peace out for a while... But not before leaving me with the information that I could become an ACTUAL werewolf in game (which I later did), and leaving me with some hints as to how I might do that. The next day, this player reached out to me again (something I almost never experience in MMOs) to see how I'd got on with becoming a werewolf. When I explained that his explanation from the day before hadn't made much sense, he gave me some clearer directions and apologized, figuring that being high probably hadn't helped his ability to concisely explain game mechanics to a new player. I hadn't minded at all -- it was a great interaction anyway. My banter with this player was light and brief, but it was fun and left me with a great first impression of the game.

On my third day in Project Gorgon, I met a high-level player in the wilds. He asked if I had any Pork Loins he could buy -- I did, so I traded them over. He then asked if I wanted to become a NECROMANCER.

Uh... Yeah, random guy, I do.

What happened after is the most insane chain of events I've ever experienced in an online game -- in full RP, this guy guides me through a crypt full of undead, encouraging me to do the bulk of the fighting myself (I assume to prove my 'worth') as we headed on our way to kill his 'apprentice'; a lich lord. I almost died a couple times, but my new friend had my back. He taught me a couple niche mechanics in the game, such as single-pulling enemies to force them to follow me into advantageous positions, and even gave me a stack of 100 bacon slices for me to use as food moving forward (I still have 40 of those left!). By the end of our adventure together, I had the Necromancer skill, and I'd made a new friend.

I was satisfied.

But, like my rat-fisting friend from the day prior, my new necromancer coach had some parting info for me. You see, apparently, there would be a player-run poetry competition happening in the town of Serbule. Would I be attending, he wondered?

Uh... YEAH, I would. Are you kidding?

And so I did... albeit toward the tail end. I didn't submit any poetry myself, but I nearly died of laughter reading (and rating -- which gave me 'Poetry Appreciation' skill xp) what everyone else had come up with. People were dancing, getting drunk (more than a few players with low-level alcohol drinking skills died of alcohol poisoning), playing instruments, and setting off crazy gadgets and spells that caused everyone to leap high into the air. An excellent start to my day's adventures.

On my fourth day in Project Gorgon, I met a werewolf friend who was seeking to teach low-level werewolves some of the basics. I was interested, so I joined up -- and he selflessly spent the next 4 hours of real time guiding me through hazardous frozen wastes, dark, goblin-infested dungeons, and rolling countrysides in the effort to teach me the basics of being a werewolf: how to get my once-a-month full moon buff, where to learn the 'travel mode' (mount-equivalent speed for animal forms) for lycanthropes, and how to get to the casino, where I can complete dailies and mingle with other players.

These are mere summaries of much lengthier stories, and they don't do any of these experiences justice. They don't encapsulate the sheer selflessness or kindness that this game's playerbase exhibits, or the collectively-ridiculous, eccentric sense of humor it has. They also don't properly convey the smaller moments where the community shines: asking for help in Global chat (and actually getting it, rather than being forced to sift through 500 memey responses), or hanging around in Serbule every day and actually getting to know the familiar faces that show up every day -- by name.

If you're willing to engage with the community in Project Gorgon, it will engage back. Ask for help, and you will get it. Joke around and try to make friends, and you won't regret it.

50 hours in, I really can't recommend this game enough if what you want from your old school MMO is a real sense of community, and lasting bonds with your fellow players.

-OLD-SCHOOL
-LOTS to DO
-Sandbox classes, use any weapon and spell you want
- Great community

This game is what old school MMORPG PVE players are looking for, it is done well and with lots of content ready to go and where it works and combat is fun.

Pantheon players need to come join this game for much cheaper and with way more to do with a dev team that has accomplished much more with less money taken from customers.

Wonderful MMORPG that captures what I love about them. Exploration heavy, fun, lots of skills to try, cool concepts and mechanics.

Get into this if you want to get into exploring the world, role-play, laugh, or have a proper adventure.
