It's gonna feature some amazing pendulum QTE events (ping based) where the outcome depends on your reaction and the number of inputs increases with quality and skill level. Your basic sword made from iron at level 5 only requires three perfect swings, while forging deathsword, slayer of things and stuff, legendary sword at the skill cap demands it all from you with one hundred perfect QTE clicks, similar to GTA San Andreas dance missions.

Oh no, you and your whole group got consumption, an incurable DoT that increases in dmg per tick over time

Oh wow. That preview actually makes it sound promising, with what is hopefully some legit money behind it.

Chivalry-style combat in an MMO could be pretty fun. Seems like the most appropriate kind of combat for this setting, too.

Here's hoping. The genre needs a big player to come in to actually resuscitate it. WoW is still great, but it too weighed down by its own mass to change too much.

New website is up and it's touting, "Alpha Soon".

If you hit sign up, you will be sent to an Amazon product page. Apparently hitting "Email updates" registers you for Alpha (you can't see the email option in Mobile format and will need to see it in "Desktop" mode).

That preview was interesting. I bet this game is going to get some serious hype behind it closer to release. Pretty much everyone is going to try an Amazon MMO I imagine.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I think this is the only western MMO that isn't crowdfunded, and Amazon has deep pockets so hopefully it won't be rushed because they run out of money. :)

Do we have any information on exactly why Amazon wanted to get into games? Do they have some sort of integration planned with their other services/marketplace, or is it just for diversification purposes? Or a testbed/showcase for their engine?

Games as an industry only grows every year. Not sure why they dive into the deep end like MMOs so to speak rather than some smaller stuff. But I welcome it.
