Last year news broke at the rumored confirmation of an MMO based on the Twilight books, leading to shock, horror, and utter bedazzling of many MMO websites until it was revealed that the project was a student project by a couple of people who didn’t even have the license for the IP. It was only a matter of time before a company picked up on the coattails of a vampire MMO, and that company is IGG. IGG has decided to dust off their cookie cutter and bake up MoonLight Online.
IGG is the publishing portal of 2029 Online, Angels Online, Galaxy Online, Tales of Pirates Online, Wonderland Online, Freesky Online, Godswar Online, Myth War II Online, Tales of Pirates II, Voyage Century Online, and Zu Online, with Dreamland Online, Lords Online, Tales of Fantasy, and Altis Online on the way. Take a breather before you continue. IGG is a (surprise!) Hong Kong based publisher with a line of games that pushes a new definition on the phrase “cookie cutter Asian MMO.”
MoonLight Online is advertised as players taking part in a vampire vs werewolf war, and being able to build and take down empires across the world. If IGG’s past games are any indication of the quality of MoonLight, I’ll be packing my bags and camping outside of the student dorm waiting for their Twilight MMO to launch, because in the fight between vampires that sparkle and Asian MMOs, throwing on that extra glitter may end up being the smaller step down in dignity.
MoonLight Online will no doubt be sprinting its way to the lowest rung of the MMO market, as soon as the developers finish re-skinning 2029 Online.
