创造的灰烬

Ashes of Creation MMORPG official Gamescom 2019 teaser trailer.^[11]^[12]^[13]

创造的灰烬 (AoC) is an upcoming MMORPG, set in a high fantasy open world.^[14]

Ashes of Creation takes place within a medieval fantasy setting, blending imagination with cutting-edge graphics. We are putting the word massive back into massively multiplayer with unique and novel mechanics that will bring meaning to player action. Ashes of Creation will incorporate the best parts of traditional MMORPGs with innovative sandbox concepts. You will choose your fate at every opportunity. Questlines will open and close based on the interactions of the players with their world, because this is a world where choice is consequential. Monsters will roam and grow in ferocity as civilization disrupts the natural order of things. From the location of towns to the size of cities, you will determine the landscape of your world. It will be unique in culture, ecology, and economy.^[15]

创造的灰烬 is an upcoming MMORPG set in a world of high fantasy where player’s choices will shape and define the world around them.^[14]

Ashes of Creation is a unique take on the MMO experience. Our world structure is dynamic and built to react to the actions of our players. Cities will rise and fall, their populations based on the history of the world as the players create it. Quests will unlock as these populations gather, their needs grow, and secrets are unlocked. As the world’s NPC structure is established in real time, players will have the ability to destroy what they’ve created, paving the way for new development, new populations, and real change. Political strife and intrigue will play a very real role in the structure of your world. Gone are the days of static worlds, change is here to stay.^[15]

Alpha-1 servers

Alpha-1 servers will be provisioned in the following regions.^[19]

NA.^[19]
EU (Frankfurt).^[19]^[20]
OCE.^[19]

Alpha-1 servers will support 1,500 concurrent users.^[10]

Alpha-1 participation

There are slightly under 10,000 participants in Alpha-1 testing.^[21]

Our target goal from a testing standpoint was ten thousand players. We have just under that - I believe we have 9,300, and we wanted to keep that manageable. Our intent is to have two servers that we have up and running for Alpha 1 Phase 2, with 5000 on each. Our goal ultimately is 10,000 concurrent, but we’re going to begin stress-testing at 5000.^[22] – Steven Sharif
