Palia is a really nice concept of MMORPG, and really wish it will be able to establish itself. It is the kind of game I think the gaming world needs. Something cute, kind, with no fighting and no competition. It doesn't need a big population, so players should not really care of their number. You do not need other players to enjoy Palia (even if it's fun to invite friends to visit your home) It also have a VERY fair monetisation, with a cosmetic cash shop that does not interfer with what players can create or obtain in game.

Free Realms was one of my favorites back then. It was extremely fun to log in and play a little bit to relax. No long commitments, just log in and do something fun.

Very nice. Thanks for covering Palia :)

I have reached out to the team in regards to help them with marketing and advertising… I hope they take it seriously.

Daybreak gives me the sense that they want to do everything on the cheap. The first thing that came into my mind when I saw this was...did Daybreak do this so they could use the skeleton/foundation of this game for the rumored EQ3? I mean they wouldn't want to license anything and given the precarious state of Palia they probably got a good deal purchasing it and now they could use the foundational elements of the Palia world and systems as a foundation for EQ3. That would be quite a shortcut plus they potentially make revenue on Palia itself. It may not end up being a great thing for EQ but it wouldn't surprise me if that was their plan.

I bet that was definitely a thought that ran through their minds. EG7 does have developer capacity in their ranks with Mechwarrior, Toadman, and now Singularity 6. I bet they will be able to round out a decent team within their ranks to help develop or consult on EQ3.

What a horrid thing to do to the fans of this game. I will pray daily that EQ3 fails.

As always great video Red! I have some time in Palia. It is nice and cozy. Good to load up and play a bit to wind down after a raid or other more involved gaming situation.

I'm not necessarily convinced of my own theory here, but my first thought when I saw this news was something along the lines of: "Hmm, the company that's in the process of trying to hire people to build a new MMO (probably) just purchased an MMO developer." I'm not sure what any of that means for Palia in particular, but I can't help but wonder if this was as much about talent-acquisition for other projects as anything else.

@gmoney546

9 күн бұрын

I bet it was a confluence of factors that led EG7 toward acquiring Palia. (Cheap purchase price, talented team, pretty darn good game even at its bare bones state, ability to grow Palia, etc.) However, Singularity 6, and their network, probably can leverage talent into EG7 to ramp up Everquest when the time comes ... Singularity 6 obviously has Unreal Engine 5 experience that would be valuable to EQ3.

The same thing happened to World of Warcraft and now its not even close to being the game it was when it started , im highly disappointed in both game developers . im trying to like Palia , but for some reason i always find the toxic jerks . i switch servers , and even toons . cant get away from them .

I wonder if they'll break down and add some combat. A lot of people would really like to see it come to the game.

Honestly this is what has kept me from trying Palia. I'd love to see it become more like a Stardew Valley MMO. Combat doesn't have to be incredible, but that game is definitely helped by having it as a pillar, you know?

The game is cute but lacks content, Also when played it there was no real reason to interact with other people

I doubt they did this to save Palia, but a cheap way to mine Palia's code - that can be used for other Daybreak ventures.

Palia's problem is that it need to embrace being a real sandbox mmo and that does mean combat. If Daybreak really wants to take off. They need to combine all their power to make something really great. I'm fine if that is Palia with all its assets and art style but I need reasons for my wife to play it and for my son to play it. Then after all that it still needs to be good enough that I want to play it.

I feel the same. Can't forget Everquest Next Scam. At least John Smedley is no longer in Daybreak...

As frequent player of Palia that I found on lunch at the nintendo switch, I fell in love with the world building and the mysteries of the storyline. It is most defiantly a breath of fresh air for me since when my house hold goes from minecraft to cult of the lamb then whiplashes back to borderlands and fallout (yes the whole family plays together, im just mama bear making the family minecraft realms look nice) I am really hoping that by Singulaity6 gets a really good helping hand cuz if not, then how we gonna go and see everyone's muscle mommy Siffuu?

Daybreak swoops in to correct the type-os in Palia.

Palia is a community sim more than an MMO, and I think they could really take off if they gave more community and more sim but not necessarily MMO stuff. I dont want combat in it, I can play GW2 for that. I want them to look at what Sims players and players of AC & other games love or ask about and get creative

I don't think S6 can find it's backside with both hands. Maybe EG7 can help out.

I have been playing Lord of the Rings Online for 17 years and I still love it so I appreciate Daybreak for keeping it going. I hope they are able to keep Palia going and add a lot more content. I love the vibe of the game and the art style but it's really lacking content.

Palia would need a major upgrade for me. I gave it a try since it first launched and it didn't really feel like it had the MMO part of a cozy MMO, so I lost interest.

This is great! Palia is a great game and seems like a full game already, it's a shame they had to let some of their workforce go. I hope this means they can expand as expected :)

If there was some PVE / Gear and some possibilities to go get some action I would have given a try.

If it means they will finally start adding more features for the free to play base, and not put everything behind a paywall like they have been, I'll be happy.

I have heard mostly positive things about this game. This is super interesting. You know what really sparks my imagination? This means potentially any tech or ideas used in palia's design are ripe for implementing into a new product... maybe there are aspects in palia that might be a good fit for a future eq product. For what it's worth I also loved certain aspects in ddo. If they could put the funding together and took the best of all these games they could do something really special.

You want to save palia? Wildstar housing. Will someone PLEASE just copy paste wildstar housing?

We play Palea and it's great. The 'combat' isn't there...basically at all, but the hunting is kinda fun. So it has potential...maybe if DB gets a hold of it I can't camp Guise again :)

I played Palia extensively for a few weeks, but ultimately realized it was just a very good idea, but horribly done. I really hoped that Palia would be so much better than i ultimately was, a huge letdown. As much dislike i have for Daybreak Games and the way they tend to handle things, i do think that could infuse Palia with some much needed progress and changes, to make it actually be engaging to play for longer than a week or so. Palia could have been a totally amazing game, but it just felt so flat, and eventho we know we'll see more Microtransations with a Daybreak purchase, it might still be for the better for the game. I am definitely excited to see what kind of changes they might do to this game and i hope it will be quite a lot

Sandrock Online exists though...I played Palia for a good while and I just don't see it as any better then what Sandrock already offers.

Palia's improved a LOT. Still a bit shit, though.

palia is fun game, also i was playing my necro on teek, and farming the undead deck hands, and i saw your corpse. get gud :D

Palia is actually quite fun but definitly feels unfinished. I hope they do right by Palia.

Hmm. Imagine Everquest 1 as it is now, but with the additional layers of "a day in the life of..." from something like Palia. Would rope in people who enjoy the competitive and non-competitive lifestyle, as well as give people something to do after making max level and in between raids. Who knows? 🤷‍♂️

This game is gonna be a huge furry safe space

I find it obviously "curious" when the news is that a $45mil/year company is purchased by a $25mil/year company. Someone aught to dig a little deeper to see how that happens. LOL Maybe it's the holding company that now owns both that Actually bought S6? Hopefully they don't pull a Freerealms action. DBG's "owners" have had a long and "interesting" history.

👍✌😉🤪

I know there's some sense of relief that some folks get at "Well, maybe Daybreak will handle being just the Publisher like they do with SSG"... My dude, you don't know the kind of dread that fills those of us Who Know with. We have seen how Daybreak coming in was the drastic turning point for Lotro's monetization practices, only recently being somewhat mitigated when they were making themselves look good for the playerbase and EG7 (spoiler alert, it's already slipping now that the sale is through). We see how, publicly at this point, people like Sev who have been there through multiple eras are barely even dancing around basically saying Yeah, we want to do X Y and Z, but I have to sell each of those things up the chain based on what the expected Cash return is, and I have to pick my fights while leaving as much as we can in the cash shop. Daybreak is when the pricing for expansions and their editions shot through the roof. This does not fill me with a ton of optimism if they do in fact treat Singularity 6 like they do SSG. Because SSG has been running on duct tape and bailing wire for years now while they get milked; and for Palia at the stage it's in, that could easily kill the game and scare off the playerbase. But yeah, as far as the direct comparison goes, the Free Realms vibe is totally accurate :D RIP Free Realms.

An now it's a dead game.. maybe.. at least they are bot gamigo.. so a chance it will be maintenance mode Plus..

I refused to play because they had a crappy cash shop. It's not that I mind cash shops. It's just I have never seen a game do a cash shop right. Palia's for relaxies, small children, and f2p poor people. That crowd cannot afford to be nickel and dimed to death. Your cash shop items should all be around $2.00 or less. Those are useless inedible pixels you are selling. This aint no crypto banana 🍌for the gambling felodese. It's for kids an innocent people. Know your audience. Price accordingly.

OMG not another action/arcade rpgbMultiplayer (it is not a mmorpg) a game where u dodge/jump/hide/strafe/run turn around 27 times and almost got dizzy and trow up untill u kill a person is not and mmorpg chrethins pffff. a Mmorpg is a strong skill based rpg tab targeting in an open world envinronment( ZERO importance of loading screens or not) so go da fshak urzelf and play all midgetchinekorezshiaon Arcade/Action Mrpg P2w and stop speak about a game that is not even a mmorpg ,because is not and it will not be !!! MMORPG genre no more exist ..only wow (a wrekage but stilla mmmo, ffIV and maybe Ashes of Creation will be kinda last Mmorpg games ..but in thse days mmorpg games dont exist.

I think they made a major mistake when they decided not to add any sort of combat to the game. Some of the jump puzzles and home customizations are fun. But the game feels like it has a very small gameplay loop which quickly becomes boring. 🤷🏼‍♂️
