DF/AQ/MQ MMO Announced

[AdrianWhiteheart]

For all the people who've played and enjoyed DragonFable/AdventureQuest/MechQuest, It looks like the AE team are now working on an MMO based on the three f2p games. For those of you(which may be many/all of you o.O) that have no idea what I'm talking about, you should try the games out here: DragonFable - Free Web RPG,AdventureQuest, and MechQuest - Fantasy/SciFi Web RPG Game
They may be a bit cartoonish and childish, but they're fun games to pass the time with.
Anyway, here is the announcement:

Maybe you saw this in the Zardian. If you didn't then here.

Greetings and salutations, friends! I would like to congratulate The Zardian staff on the one year anniversary of their amazing E-zine. To make this one year anniversary issue extra special, we are going to make the largest official announcement ever right here, right now! *looks up* The title may have given it away, but read the next line loudly in your mind and let yourself feel the adrenaline rush we are experiencing by telling you ... Because ... We built a massively multiplayer game engine.

It is true. A 100 percent flash-based, in your browser, AQ/DF/MQ inspired, real-time combat, honest to goodness massively multiplayer online game. As I am sure you are already thinking, this is a wish come true! At long last we will accomplish the seemingly impossible goal of adventuring and battle alongside each other for real. The best part is, you will be able to import data from your existing AQ/DF/MQ characters and accounts, making all of your old hard work and effort really mean something. Like our other games, we are growing this one from scratch. Alpha testing will start in early June. (We fully expect everything to break, catch on fire, and blow up - just like with the other games!) We hope you are excited about this new project and will become involved and help us build it alongside the other games."

If you want the whole story you'll have to check out the latest issue of The Zardian.

So there ya have it, straight from the paladin's mouth. This is really exciting for us! I was running around the Inn with some of the guys and I took THIS screenie, if you're curious about the look of the game. Yeah I know that there is actually a toilet there, I just missed it. Blame it on the hair.

If you want to chat with other AE gamers about the MMO, the dutiful, clever and loyal forums staff have set up a special place to chat about it, which you can find HERE.

This is still in development, but the stress testing will be creeping up on us soon, and you can expect to meet a lot of us live in game during the stress test. I'll be there for sure. Because it's only a stress test it will be missing a lot of the final game functionality, but let's see if we can just get that many people in the game without crashing the servers.

We don't have any specific dates for you yet, but you can expect to hear more about this is the near future.

Are you as excited as I am? Or more?
