"Ashes of Creation" is on its way to creating one of the best massively multiplayer online roleplaying game  (MMORPG) experience ever, as seen in its new gameplay video that has been released and shows off the game's ambition.

Intrepid Studios, developer of "Ashes of Creation" has just released a pre-alpha footage of its upcoming MMORPG that reveals a lot of gameplay features. The video is not a trailer but actually a recording of a livestream that the developers did on Twitch. Apparently they decided that it was good enough to post on YouTube as a teaser video.

The MMORPG shows how expansive its game world is which consists of seamless wide open areas, the UnderRealm, and lots of dungeons. These are all populated with numerous non-player characters (NPCs) to interact with and monsters to slay for gear, gold and experience. 

The game also features organic villages that actually grow dynamically based on the game world and the events that affect it, as well as the players' activities. The developers also yearn to spice things up a bit in the game, introducing new dangers and challenges to players in the form of pitfalls and environmental traps and generally a foreboding sense of danger and mystery, something a lot of other established MMORPGs are lacking these days.

Apart from those, the game will also have gorgeous graphics to complement all its revolutionary new features. This is quite impressive given that the "Ashes of Creation" is actually just crowdfunded via Kickstarter, meaning its development budget depends solely on how much players want it. Right now, the game is still in its early stages of development and still might take a long while before a playable and public version is ready.

Additionally, the developers of "Ashes of Creation" might also be getting ready for this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in June where all the new games and upcoming titles are going to be unveiled.
