Ashes Of Creation's Kickstarter Begins May 1st, More Node Details Unveiled

Intrepid Studios announced yesterday that the Ashes of Creation Kickstarter campaign will be going live on May 1st. It's seemed for some time now that the MMORPG audience has room in their hearts and wallets for another crowdfunded MMORPG, but the moment of truth will arrive at the beginning of next month. It will be interesting to see whether the promising MMORPG project will achieve its funding goal.

Additionally, Intrepid Studios Creative Director Steven Sharif has published the second of the studio's four-part video series about Ashes of Creation's node system, which details a Node's final stage: Metropolis. As the game system that affects practically everything, Nodes are a pretty big deal, and the Metropolis stage of a Node is the most advanced that a Node can get. Once a node reaches the Metropolis stage, the previously modest houses reach mansion size.

Each Metropolis also has its own "ultimate bonus" based on the type of node it is. A Scientific Metropolis will provide fast travel to other "Nodes within its zone of influence." An Economic Metropolis can extend beyond the local market to "all the Nodes within [its] zone of influence."

You can read more about Metropolises on the official website or watch the video embedded below.
