there's actually an MMO from the past extremely similar to this but done way better and it was a pvp/pve MMO
does anyone remember
that game was so good until they went full on pay2win even if it was a grind fest.
you could even become a pirate, the game had ship combat..... the game had proper PVP...the world was pretty huge and was a way better "new world" than what amazon did
In new world this is how basic the game is, you can't swim but you can still enter the water, your character just walks along the bottom until he drowns
