Trials of Ascention: Everyone Loves Permadeath is Back
13 years ago
Not sure what I mean?
It was a poorly conceived MMO that touted being able to play as one of two dozen races--including dragons, gryphons, and gargolys--along with perma-death.
Well.
It's back.

I can find no information on the race selection--there is a single reference to dragons in the lore-- Edit: only humans at launch, due to scope (hey, the guy learned how to pare down to what he can actually accomplish!)
I am unsure of what to think about this burgeoning new game.
I'm still not-cool with the fact that PvP is non-consensual with no level restrictions, because from statements from potential players on the old forums, there were people who were going to do nothing but go around and be a colossal dick and kill all [insert race here] because [personal reasons] (e.g. one guy was going to play human and kill all the elves, because there are too many elves played in MMOs).
So....
Yeah.

Yeah.
Permadeath and open PVP really don't go well together.
Still, when it hits Kickstarter I am going to pledge $1 just so I can comment on if they add dragons:
"If you ever add dragons as a playable race as powerful as they were originally conceived, I will exploit them."
