Kickstarter campaign for a fresh MMORPG.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mor...-prelaunch “Mortalis: Back to the Roots” is an MMORPG with the aim of rebuilding civilization on a strange and hostile world. It takes place on a mystical planet which has a secret background for players to discover. Imagine if you were a human clone who has been wandering around the Universe to find a new habitable planet after the destruction of Earth in Alien World War. After your Mothership crashes, you make an emergency descent onto this new planet and need to start building civilization from scratch.

it’s easy to spot the attempt at a quick cash win—building an MMO for just $50k isn’t realistic, and getting the project off the ground under those constraints is nearly impossible. among the five people on Kickstarter, you’re looking at roughly two months of salaries. given that there are no updates and the site feels inactive, it’s likely either recently launched or abandoned quickly. this kind of MMO project is typical for Kickstarter, where promises are made about a budget that can’t even cover a simple game like a basic Wow clone.
for clarity: the company is based in Delaware, the domain is held by an Estonian registrar, and their office is in Colorado near Denver. the team members are also from Estonia, even though the project claims to be in Colorado—using a Delaware firm to register there. they’re seeking funding before development starts, aiming for a payout within a month.
if you dig further: the business structure and address don’t align with the stated location, and the collaborators are still based in Estonia despite the Colorado claim. the main goal is a pay-to-win model, which raises serious red flags. overall, this looks like a high-risk, low-reward venture with questionable legitimacy.
