Description
For the millions of people that enjoy online role playing games, Wish provides unprecedented opportunities to meet and share fantasy adventures with other like-minded gamers.
Unlike other MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) that confine players to a server with only a few hundred other players, Wish defines the new category of online gaming called UMMORPG (Ultra Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games). A highly-scalable server cluster infrastructure enables Wish to support tens of thousands of simultaneous players in a single shared world.
Every player of the game is a player in your world, and that provides endless opportunities for bonding through shared experiences. By eliminating the need for artificial "zones", Wish presents a seamless online experience in a world whose size and rich detail far surpass conventional MMORPGs.
