An abandoned fantasy MMORPG might be getting a second lease on life thanks to its players, although the road ahead looks to be challenging.
Back in 2008, Rampid Interactive launched Crowns of Power, a MUD-inspired PvP MMO that was deeply focused on the theme of magic. While the game did have its followers, for some reason the game fell into disrepair and Rampid abandoned it in 2011. Now in 2017, one player purchased the title and is looking to repair and rebuild it for a future launch.
“We have officially purchased Crowns of Power,” the new owner posted on the site. “This is the first major step in bringing this game back to life, this isn’t just a remake; this IS the Crowns of Power we all know and love.”
An aborted Kickstarter campaign discussed the project but was shut down before even a single dollar was pledged to it. Nevertheless, a closed alpha test began back on April 18th, and the team said that it is tackling broken code and attempting to get the MMO back in shape for an eventual beta test and relaunch.
