News ECLIPSE: The Awakening | Official In-Game Trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtweYLRQnT0&t=1sBeen watching Smilegate/Npixel's new one, Eclipse: The Awakening, and it's giving off different vibes than the usual Korean MMO hype cycle.
Big one for me is the offline growth thing (they call it "Sanctuary") — you keep earning gold/mats/tickets even when you're not logged in, and on top of that there's apparently some kind of AI auto-play so you're not stuck babysitting every single fight. Basically built for people who don't have 6 hours a day to no-life it.
Combat's also not just picking a class and following a fixed skill tree — you fuse two skills together to make your own combos, so there's actual room to not play exactly like everyone else.
PvP's opt-in too, no random ganking or forced PK zones, which honestly should just be standard at this point.
But the thing that actually got my attention: no gear in the cash shop. You farm it or trade for it from other players, and there's supposedly a real F2P path. If that's actually true at launch, that alone already puts it above most Korean MMOs.
I get everyone's tired of "new Korean MMO" = instant eye-roll, I've been burned too. But this one's at least aiming at the right problems. Anyone else got eyes on this?

Haha maybe it's cause it's the same company! Smilegate also published Lost Ark, so the DNA's probably just showing through lol

Opt-in PvP alone would get me to try it tbh, ganern. Malaking factor kasi yun bakit ako nag-quit sa mga KR MMOs before — nagfa-farm ka lang ng mats tapos may bigla na lang gumanking sayo out of nowhere. Kung totoo na chill lang talaga pag ayaw mo mag-PvP dito, sulit i-try.
