Reclamation joins roster of upcoming MMORPGs

LA-based developers Lyra Studios have announced that they are working on a brand new Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game that goes by the name of Reclamation. On the game’s official website - http://www.reclamationgame.com/ - Lyra claim that they “...are aiming to create small tight-knit communities, where role-playing is enforced and where players are given frequent and meaningful role-playing opportunities not found in other games. This will be held together by a far greater level of customer service and support of the players' gameplay experience than is offered anywhere else.” Quite how successfully this vision will manifest itself remains to be seen, but the idea of involving official GM staff as catalysts in the progress of the game’s storyline does sound like a good idea.

There will be a broad range of character classes and professions to choose from, varying from slayer of monsters to evangelical teacher. We suspect that a significant proportion of players would opt for the former rather than the latter.

At this early stage, Reclamation sounds promising, but there are plenty of other MMORPGs on the horizon, so Lyra will definitely need to live up to their promises of "unique gameplay features" in order to impress. As yet, no fixed release date has been announced.
