Are you tired of the levelling treadmill of current Massive Online Games? Nothing to do but hack away at the same monsters, over and over again, gaining minimal experience and virtually nothing tangible for loot? Tired of having no end-game to work towards, continually advancing your character into a complex and pointless game of expanding numbers? Ever just think: “I’d rather be fishing?”
Well THINK NO MORE!!!
Introducing MONSTER FISHING!!
Other MOGs have realized how boring and painful their core gameplay is, and have cheaply added fishing as an attempt to distract their players who are looking for a little bit more for their $12 and up per month. Ultima Online has it, Asheron’s Call added it, Horizons has it, World of Warcraft will feature it… Well we here at N3 Studios realize the flaw with this thinking. Why waste time on the boring crappy action/adventure model when its so obvious that FISHING is such a popular activity?
Its with this common misconception in mind that we happily announce a new kind of MOG. A MOG where sitting in front of your computer pretending that you’re sitting in front of your fishing pole watching a string is no longer just a mildly boring ‘mini-game’ within a game. NOW ITS THE CORE GAME, BABY!!!
That’s right, for the first time ever, gamers from across the globe can pretend to enjoy their Dad’s favorite past-time in a massive multiplayer setting without all the annoyances of killing monsters, player killing, or hunting for that ‘uber’ equipment. We’ve cut through all that other garbage to bring you nonstop fishing, 24/7, with nothing else to do ever! They said it couldn’t be done, but we’ve done it! We’ve actually managed to remove anything even REMOTELY fun, all in the interest of giving the players what the other stupid game developers thought you actually wanted! Yay!
Monster Fishing features a wide range of options for the character selection process, allowing you to completely customize your character in virtually all categories! (except height, weight, size, shape, or otherwise). None of these categories effect anything, but we’ll tell you that they will, all for your benefit, because that’s how much we care!
But we don’t stop there! No sir! Monster Fishing also features an enormous world filled with a huge library of fish to catch! Travel to teh Great Lakes of Watakashu, the Land of Fire, and test your arsenal of fishing lures against the elusive hellmouth guppie! Or travel to the lost lands of the north and go Ice Fishing for a chance to nab the dangerous teenage mutant ninja turtle-bass! But watch out for those penguins!
Monster Fishing even features an underwater lake, giving power gamers a chance at catching the BIG game!
Fans of questing, fear not, for in monster fishing, fish aren’t the only things you can catch! There are many prizes to be found in various parts of the World of Basstopia! Travel the Gamut River of Obsticular Courses, where your skill with a rod will be tested to see if you have what it takes to weild the jewel encrusted Golden Tacklebox of Yore! Or purchase a ride on the Ghost Boat of Bubble Beard, the only boat capable of traveling into the haunted Cave of Doom, searching out all the pieces of an ancient treasure map, which legends tell holds the secret location of the infamous Unbreakable Fishing Line of Infinite Length!! Plus much, much more!!
For the treasure hording enthusiasts, Monster Fishing will allow its players to upgrade their fishing gear by selling your various fish catches for money! The upgraded gear works just like the old gear, but with a cooler name and a different color! Or, if you’d rather, you could try your odds at catching random items while out fishing, like a bobber, a new fishing hook, or even a new house to store all your new loot! Items found in this manner have a chance to feature special ‘magical’ attributes, some good, and some bad! What can YOU find?!
Tired of the mathmatical number crunching that dominates most of today’s current MOGs? Well so are we! Monster Fishing uses an advanced random number generator which does absolutely nothing but assign meaningless numbers to things, completely removing any chance of figuring out the system and exploiting our bad math skills! Everyone wins!
And if you’re a fan of live events, well friends, we’ve got those too! Monster Fishing features a religion system which allows players to choose one of five seperate Gods to worship! It doesn’t matter which God you choose, as none of them will ever help you, and each are equally powerful! However, the Gods are controlled by our very own developers, and we’re all very petty and egotystical. The four Gods that you’ve chosen to insult by NOT worshipping them will all be competing with each other to gain your worship, and they’ll do anything and everything to convince you that you to change your affiliation, from blowing up your house and everything in it, to constantly throwing your character into a volcano or shooting you with lightning nonstop forever and ever! You can’t get much more developer interaction that this!
Since no water-based game can be considered complete without Pirates, Monster Fishing will feature two pirate ships which might randomly appear out of nothingness and attempt to plunder your row-boat! You can’t fight them back, as this would be an action/adventure element, and everyone knows this is outdated and boring. So your only option will be to try to outrow them by repeatedly clicking the mouse button over and over until you either outrun them or they board your ship and kill you.
