We’re
in the middle of a great era for MMO games. A new AAA title is announced on an
almost monthly basis and titles like Guild Wars 2 have proven there’s still
plenty of room for innovation and creativity.
The
latest creative mind to join the release spree is Kirk “Runesabre”
Black. He’s a 20-year veteran of the industry with some of the biggest MMO
names under his belt. He is best known for his work on the iconic Ultima
Online, the massive League of Legends and the award-winning Lord of the Rings
Online. But his latest efforts are not that of a typical MMORPG experience,
instead he’s targeting a much younger audience.
Enspira
