Insel Games have launched the open beta for their fishing MMO, World of Fishing.
The game is a fully realized fishing MMO in that you can customize your avatar, start out with basic gear and just work your way up to tracking down massive sea-creatures. There are over 30 locations from around the world, as well as a huge variety of 360+ fish types.
Each fish “battle” pans out in real-time, where you can wrestle against the game’s realistic AI – with the developers saying the combination of challenging yet entertaining gameplay is as close to the “real thing” as possible.
If you’re interesting in giving World of Fishing a try, head on over to their official website.

I don’t know why this is a MMO, but kudos to the devs for trying something like that.

November 8, 2015 at 3:38 pmI’d give this a try, but I can’t pry myself away from Paint Drying Simulator 2015. My guild there is kind of a big deal.

November 8, 2015 at 8:06 pmI’m not really sure what to think of this. I’ve always thought fishing games were kind of silly, I mean it’s just fishing. But making it an MMO?…talk about bizarre. I gotta give props to the devs though, trying something different with an MMO. Though honestly if an MMOG isn’t an A.S.S.F.A.G.G.O.T. or the typical MMORPG, it’s already accomplished something.

November 11, 2015 at 11:48 amI don’t know how well MMO fishing will work as a concept, but I can definitely see why there’s room in the world for at least one open-world tropical vacation simulator.
