Interesting. This came out of nowhere.

Interesting. Which devs?

That's some varied inspiration right there... those concepts didn't scream "Minecraft" to me at all. But it might have been the lack of cubes.

I'm also curious if there are any names for the devs.

Sorry, I don't click IGN links. Does it say which devs?

I went to the homepage and there was no mention of names as far as I could tell from a cursory glance. Guess they are still getting their stuff together or something. If they had any big names I think they would have led with them. Probably no Kirkbrides or Rolstons.

The only name that gives a hint of a Bethesda background is Chris Ondrus. He doesn't ring a bell.

This sounds like the MMO where the players make the map (Everquest?).

I wonder if they can ever make an MMO that strips out the tediousness of MMO's.
