GDC 2013: Dragon's Prophet aims to sate all your dragon needs

Dragon's Prophet

The sharp flap of leathery wings signals an incoming message from GDC: SOE have released a trailer for Dragon's Prophet, a free-to-play fantasy MMO that seems to have been developed with the design philosophy "more dragons = better". It's a theory that didn't do Skyrim any harm.

The game's feature page offers up some more details, although unsurprisingly the headline point is "Dragons Everywhere". But other than the winged wyrms, Dragon's Prophet also promises action-based combat with "a unique auto-target and combo system", extensive player housing and a "Frontier" system for guilds. Oh, also: dragons! Supposedly, the dragons you capture will go on to shape the progression of your character's role.
