New MMORPG Magic to Master is trying to raise money via Kickstarter. The company announces with great audio reviews from major US gaming sites describing how great the MMORPG is: Flagship feature, 5 stars out of 5, all great. The problem: No site has ever tested the game, let alone written about it.
What kind of game is this?
- “Magic to Master” is actually a fantasy MMORPG from 2009, which will now be relaunched – the location of the new project is Budapest.
- The game introduces 4 classes, advertises Hack’n Slash Combat, and wants to introduce PvE and PVP.
- The game is now bidding on Kickstarter for a modest $25,220 — but there could be problems raising the money.

The MMORPG tops 5-star reviews praising the game in the sky
Here’s how this MMORPG makes money: The MMORPG has published a total of 6 reviews from well-known American gaming websites, which highly praise the game and give it 5 out of 5 stars (via massivelyop.com):
- MassivelyOp reportedly said the game had “well-designed combat systems” but a “game-changing PvP combat system.” This would set Magic to Master apart from other MMORPGs.
- GameRant raves about the “old classic MMORPG”. It’s impressive that a small team can deliver something of this magnitude.
- MMORPG.com says it’s a top-notch MMORPG.
What is the problem? As Massivelyop points out, this test was never written. Nobody ever played the game. You do not perform any tests, and certainly not such tests.
The editor-in-chief also writes: If someone had given her a test like this, with so many typos, arbitrarily bold words, and a complete lack of substance, she would have prompted a major revision of the text.
MMORPG says: In excitement, something went wrong – tests were just placeholders
What does the MMORPG say? After it was blown up, the creators say (via Twitter): The tests were just “placeholders” that should not be available online. You don’t have any revisions yet and just forgot to remove those offline placeholders. I was so excited.
Now they apologize for the “misunderstanding”, the reviews have been deleted.
Of the $26,220 that this MMORPG wants to earn, you currently only have $1,500 all together. Let’s see if there will be more supporters after the number.
