Relations to mmorpg Shadow Worlds
« on: July 03, 2017, 08:21:55 PM »
Hi

I am curious to whether anyone knows of any relations between ICE's Shadow World, and the small mmorpg Shadow Worlds. Currently the server is offline, so i'm unable to provide any links.

Thanks in advance!

If anyone would like to have a look at what i'm talking about, the website mpog.ru is a russian version of the server. as you can see the fonts are similar.
(if you try to play, you need to navigate through the site via russian to create an account and download the game)

Interesting. It is rather pretty. Unfortunately my Russian is very rusty (as in all but forgotten since high school). The term 'Shadow World' is pretty generic, and while I have trademarked it for RPGs, I think this is something different, just like that TV show 'Shadowhunters' is completely different. (Though I did exchange emails with Cassandra Claire many years ago...)

I keep an eye on the MMORPG scene, this looks very outdated. From the ENG pages there seems to be no resemblance to Rolemaster or the Shadow World setting.
