I’ll admit it, I get unreasonably excited over interesting-looking little MMORPG projects from time to time. My latest fascination is with the newly announced Into the Echo, which purports to be a time travel MMO on a fantasy world. We don’t know how it’ll work, or really, many details at all, but I’m here for it.
Yet there’s that big tricky question of how time travel — with its different eras and paradoxes and timeline changes — could actually function in a massively multiplayer environment. While many MMOs have included time travel in limited quantities, we’ve never seen a full game wrap itself around the concept.
What do you think? Is a time travel MMO an impossible idea, or could it be made to work?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
