Visions

Am indie Christian-themed MMORPG, still in development.

Summary

Visions is a Christian-themed MMORPG that aims to have the game be skill-based rather than level-based. As in, instead of gameplay involving you to kill ten rats to level up, you would do stuff such as craft for example. Kind of like Darkfall. The plot takes place in about 100 A.D. during the times of Emperor Trajan. Over time new emperors will rise to the throne and new quests will appear. There are also supposed to be classes based on scriptures...aptly named "Scripture Quests."

 
“ 		 
Where most other online games have the play character kill a never ending hoard of enemies to gain experience and purchase levels from a trainer, Visions will have play characters learn their skills by completing quests, and then use their skills to improve their ability that skill. The skills they use the most will be the skills they are best at.

Origins

The project got a lot of unwanted attention when EQ2Flames and Encyclopedia Dramatica discovered it. The developers had to restrict comments on their YouTube videos. An ED user said, "I'm betting no mage or druid classes," and an EQ2Flames user said, "It is safe to say that the free market has not deemed this an efficient use of resources."

Current status

It is still in development.
