Capcom adds a little MMO to their single player RPG

 

Ok, so this is a little interesting.  If you are playing Dragon’s Dogma connected to the internet you will get a little bit of MMORPG flavor mixed in to your traditional RPG.  In the game you will eventually come across the Ur Dragon which will have ties to a community pool of HP.  You know what, Capcom can explain it better so here is a snippet from their dev blog:

“The effect and damage done by of each of these parties will be combined until the creature is defeated. This will take multiple encounters, but all players who inflict damage on the Ur-Dragon will receive great spoils. The person who inflicts the final blow will receive the greatest reward of all, and all slayers of the Ur-Dragon will have their names and play times recorded in the hall of fame for bragging rights. Meanwhile, offline players will still be able to take on the Ur-Dragon alone, but will receive different rewards at the end.”

Sounds pretty interesting.  The big question that I wonder is if they will continually recycle the Ur Dragon after it’s beaten so that this isn’t just a 1 time thing.  Hopefully they will answer these questions before the game comes out at the end of the month. What do you think about this?  Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
