Gloria Victis a low fantasy MMO launched last week. Has some server/login issues buy it is buy to play at $10 and is a gem of a game.
Sorry, I know it is super obnoxious when a random person on the internet corrects you, but this is a person pet peeve of mine and I’m trying to spread the word.
High Fantasy: a fantasy work that takes place in a distinct, self contained world. Examples: Lord of the Rings (technically it’s presented as a mythological history of our world but because the geography and history don’t reflect this at all it’s considered high fantasy) A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones (Martin himself refers to his works as high fantasy in interviews) Mistborn Wheel of Time
Low Fantasy: a fantasy work where people from our world visit a separate fantasy world, either some other realm of existence or hidden within our world, or magical elements intrude upon our world. Examples: Harry Potter Chronicles of Narnia Neverwhere Alice in Wonderland Peter Pan
Lots of people get this wrong, even the Gloria Victis mislabels it’s game as low fantasy, but googling low fantasy v high fantasy will provide countless websites that reiterate the distinction. It has nothing to do with the amount of fantastical elements.
Sorry again. Not trying to be a duck and signal you out.
