Tiny Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game

Book of Travels also differs from traditional MMOs because of its multiplayer design. Instead, we’re calling it a TMO – a Tiny Multiplayer Online. That’s because there really won’t be anything ‘massive’ about the multiplayer aspect of the game. Instead we’re building a game experience where there will just be a few people on each server, and when you cross paths, we want it to be a memorable moment. Should you choose to wander alone you won’t be missing out on any of the world’s wonder and enchantment. But if you do want to form a band of Travellers, the scarcity of other folk will make your companionships special and your group’s bond that much deeper.

A Tiny Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (TMORPG) is:

• Tiny - the number of players on a game server is severely limited;
• Multiplayer - while the number of players on a game server is severely limited, it is likely there will be more than one player on a server;
• Online - there is no offline component and can only be played if the player is connected to the internet;
• Role-Playing - players control a character who will develop in an immersive and well-defined game world; and
• A Game - a structured activity that passes the time or provides entertainment.

TMORPG is a phrase created by Might and Delight to describe their first online game: Meadow.

Meadow is an open-world game in which the number of players on a game server is severely limited, reducing the number of shared player experiences. Might and Delight observed the rarity of shared player experiences increased player perception of them. Players felt a strengthened connection to each other, making shared player experiences more special and memorable. Surprised at the emotional impact of these connections, Might and Delight became interested in further exploration of the TMORPG-style of game.

Book of Travels is the second TMORPG Might and Delight has released.
