FAQ

What is Dawn?

Dawn is an MMORPG intended to be enjoyed by a wide range of people. From the young to the more mature and experienced in actual life. The game is designed to be interesting to people with a large scale of interests as well as those who just enjoy video games for relaxation.

What is an MMORPG?

MMORPG stands for ‘Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game’. Rather than playing against the computer which is programmed with a limited artificial intelligence, you play with, or perhaps in competition with other players from around the world. This makes the game-play more diverse and interesting as it will not always be easy to predict events from day to day or even hour to hour. There is no set outcome or one way of achieving the same goal. An additional benefit is you have more control on the things which are going on around you.

What is the concept?

Many MMORPG games centre around working through preset missions or quests to improve your character’s ability to achieve tasks or be successful in combat, in essence to be more powerful or capable. Dawn is centered on real life concepts and aims to reflect a degree of realism in the game-play. In essence you have the realism of not being able to find a pot of gold and buy a mega doodad all slaying thingy, but you also have the actual realism of if you want a mega doodad, you can work to achieve they same effect by increasing your skills, intelligence and experience to plan and accomplish the same goal.

Isn’t it just like all other MMORPG Games?

Generally no, but in some ways yes. We don’t just want to launch another quest based fantasy role based game, nothing wrong with this, but there are already many available. We do want to keep the positive characteristics which add to the enjoyment and challenge of game play.

Additionally there will be unique characteristics of this video game which we hope many people will find interesting and diverse. We can’t away too much at the moment but can say that the game is designed to develop and evolve as time goes by.

Why would I like it?

If you like video games, you can play Dawn in first or third person mode. The basic skills can be mastered relatively quickly but the skills which will get you the furthest are not so much difficult, but will require some lateral thought. You could play Dawn as a simple ‘go, solve and get’ game and enjoy the playing environment. If you prefer to become a bit more involved in the concept, and like planning and preparing you could enjoy the underlying strategy, commoradary and challenge that Dawn has to offer. Basically you could play at any level you prefer to enjoy..

Will there be any battles etc?

Dawn is designed to reflect a real-real life environment, and therefore there inevitable will be the need to defend yourself. However the level of danger you expose yourself to is entirely up to you. You could stay within the safe confines of the local towns or be more exposed as you pursue more rewarding goals.
