The idea of creating a large-scale open world, divided into two warring factions, is not new. Interesting in this MMORPG is the confrontation between steampunk and fantasy. The reason for the conflict between the inhabitants of Eisenhorst and Erlandir is the most valuable mineral "black gold". A large number of locations (as the developer promises, there will be at least 24 of them) and 8 character classes with unique mechanics promise an exciting game.
