The option to buy blockchain-backed property in Richard Garriott's upcoming MMO is 'coming soon.'
, Ultima creator Richard Garriott's next project, a blockchain MMO formerly code named Effigy, got an official name,, as well as a website. The site contains fly-throughs of a selection of fantasy locales, as well as an under-construction shop featuring plots of land, buildings, and the opportunity to"buy land in the realm of Lord British."back in April, Garriott and developer Todd Porter made the case for their game and its blockchain features.
For those less familiar with Richard Garriott, he's most famous as the creator of the Ultima series in the '80s, a crucial piece of gaming history and a bit of a"last common ancestor" for Western RPGs and JRPGs, as well as a crucial influence on MMOs and immersive sims through its spinoffs Ultima Online and Ultima Underworld. His Lord British persona was a consistent presence in these classic games.
Garriott's more recent MMO endeavors, Tabula Rasa and Shroud of the Avatar, ran into trouble. Tabula Rasa shut down about a year and a half after launch, and SotA's initial Kickstarter success gave way to a sequence of delays and development overhauls before quietly dying.
