Kingdom under fire 2 is an MMOARTS in development.

Not a whole lot of info out atm about the gameplay and mechanics, but they got more then 5 screenshots, and an official website.

KINGDOM UNDER FIRE II
A Sequel bound to redefine the Kingdom Under Fire universe!

* True Action RTS sequel heir to the world acclaimed Kingdom Under Fire series
* Pioneering a new genre, MMOARTS (Massively Multiplayer Online Action RTS) for multi-platforms.
* The first revealed real-time screenshots off a work-in-progress build.

BLUESIDE globally announced that they will team up with PHANTAGRAM and co-develop a true sequel to the award-winning Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders and Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes, well known for their innovative pioneering of a new genre called Action RTS and highly lauded by worldwide audiences as the first ever hybrid game of action and real-time strategy. Named as "Kingdom Under Fire II", the new version of Kingdom Under Fire is aiming for 2009 release and will be available worldwide on both PC and console platforms.

Kingdom Under Fire II will not only inherit all the merits of the previous Action RTS series that numerous fans have raved about but also feature much enhanced game system that will allow gamers to experience vastly immense tactical game play and intense action in unprecedented scale of battlefield. Moreover, it will support a single offline mode and an online mode where thousands of gamers can join in a server to pit their skills against each other. With next-gen quality of graphic and rich game play, it will truly be an unheralded gift in a pleasant way to both gamers and gaming industry.

Whereas Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom was an Action RPG deviated from the main Action RTS stream of Kingdom Under Fire Series, this sequel version will be a true inheritor of the world acclaimed Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders in the truest sense with promises to deliver a unique game play and story line where the plot is filled with drama between game characters, who will all contribute to raise suspense and intensity of combat. Unlike the previous RTS series where the Human Alliance and the Dark Legion faced each other in endless battles, there will be a new third faction vying for control of the world, which will definitely pique the curiosity of fans worldwide.

BLUESIDE's CEO Sejung Kim stated that "We are preparing for an immense game that will feature not only field battles, but also titanic siege engines and thousands of units that will swarm over monstrous fortresses in siege battles of epic proportions." clearly expressing her confidence in the next title.

Uh, this sounds like a RTS, should it really be in this forum?

Eh, no I didn't want to quote up too much space, was bad enough as it was. But even a massive RTS is still not a MMORPG.

lol i know its early and you must be tired, so here, ill quote it and break it down so you can understand its a MMOARTS.

Massively Multiplayer Online

MMO, so it is massive, multiplayer and online. You can play it online with other players.....

game where thousands of gamers

it says GAMERS, not NPCs..... gamers = people -btw-

can co-play and write their own epic poetry of war.

and this is just some extra to make it sound good.

and if you want you can look at that link i provided, ign asks them 2 questions about the game being a MMOARTS

Well, it certainly looks amazing and is more to my taste regarding art design.

Whether or not it will be good... well, we'll see.

I said that a MMORTS and a MMORPG is not the same type of game, ok. This is not MMOARTS.com.

It can still be a great game but this forum is about RPGs. But ok, the difference isn't always that big.

If the game got some RPG parts so ok, didn't see anything about it however.

fair enough, now that you explained your point, i understand what you mean now. And with the little information on gameplay and mechanics it doesnt describe any rpg elements, maybe later when they release more info they will list it, i figured since Dreamlords another MMORTS is on this site, any MMORTS would do.

well actually i was thinking about this at work today (slow day). What are RPG elements? Whats makes a MMORPG a MMO"RPG"? Sorry for bumping this thread, but i should have asked this question the last time we had this discussion.
