If the term “endgame” elicits a particularly nasty reaction in you, you’re not alone. The indie team behind Saga of Lucimia say that it has the same allergic reaction to the concept of an endgame and claims that this MMO isn’t going to pour its resources into making one.
“The concept of the ‘real’ game content not beginning until you reach the ‘endgame content’ is something that we find ridiculous,” the devs said, “and it’s the primary reason why, at least in our MMORPG, we’re entirely focused on the world and the richness of the lore, stories, and adventures to be had within it.”
So how is Saga of Lucimia going to accomplish this? The idea is that the sandbox will revolve around “continual exploration and adventure” of a much deeper and more nuanced game world. Another point of consideration is that Saga of Lucimia is being constructed with a “definite end” after the base game and its planned three expansions. After it reaches this point, the team will either sunset the title or hand it off to the community to operate.
