, 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.

NFT's again? nah bruh
Buy intangible land? Is that a joke? ( ˘︹˘ )
No more. No more giving rich guy money on a prair of a game 20 years ago.
Who?
Really? Here we go again. Fuck NFTs and his last game was pretty bad overall.
Friends don't let friends get fleeced. Do not, under any circumstances, trust Richard Garriott to follow through on a video game promise. Do not, under any circumstances buy stock in a company that would fund Richard Garriott's endeavors.
Every single person peddling NFTs needs launched into the sun
Scammaz!!!
Hard pass.
All these old game developers like Garriott and Molyneux turning into scam artists and grifters is such a shame. How nice would it have been for them to use their experience to help build a better games industry. Instead of aping their names and their dwindling fans 🤔
dude is still around coming up with new scams, i mean games...
Nfts…
total scamm just like his last mmo that died in alpha
God I wish I could listen to idlethumbs talk about this
