Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
From what I have seen, they're intentionally avoided doing so, so that the world can feel like the 'hand-drawn 80s D&D manuals' that the game's aesthetic is going for.
For M&M's team, it doesn't appear to be about getting to the finish line quickly. Their focus is on making sure the game looks, feels, plays, and is fun to their niche audience, rather than having mass appeal and appealing to no one.
They've intentionally kept some things not user friendly (ie; no maps, /look command that tells you about your surroundings, etc) so that the world feels more immersive and more like a 1980's MUD than a true modern MMO, while having the game look acceptable art-wise by the 2022 standards (ie; hand-painted artstyle but modern rendering techniques)

I can say the game is shaping up to be one of the best MMOs I've played in a long while, and it's not even fully whiteboxed yet.

Update 28: The year begins with Friends — Monsters & Memories
Hi all! We’ve rolled into 2023 with the same steady pace we’ve had throughout 2022. One big difference is that we’ve been able to do it with our friends and family in tow. As we mentioned last month, we had a goal of getting people from outside of the team onto our new Test Server, so that we coul

I totally see some of you playing this with shaky hands in a retirement home. Half of your raid wiped standing on red circle because you forgot your reading glasses.
"We are waiting on Mike, he forgot to take his pill"
"Bob went to the toilet the 2nd time in 5mins"
It's gonna be hilarious.

Mini-maps and shit are dumb, but a "general" overland map is definitely needed. Not something that gives you an inch-by-inch map, but just a general, "X zone connects to Y zone".

That's was my understanding as well; hopefully they stick to their guns.
If they decide to have an in game I really hope they do a fog of war, with a very small discovery radius, so we at least have a sense of discovery.

I really liked the way Embers Adrift did it: you have a map in each zone that shows basic geography and major points of interest (like towns and ruins) but there's no player cursor so you have to use your surroundings to figure out where you are. There's also no compass but there's a giant blue planet in the sky which is always to the north that you can use to figure out what direction you need to go (except on cloudy days/nights when the planet is obscured).
