Seed is the name given to a [massively-multiplayer online role-playing game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ashes-of-creation) (MMORPG) that will be expansively populated by [artificial intelligence (AI)-controlled digital humans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lotte-caliverse). With Seed, Klang Games hopes to revolutionize the MMORPG industry by creating one of the largest, most persistent, and most influential virtual worlds to date. Seed will be a sci-fi MMORPG where players can create and manage colonies, engage in large-scale wars with other players, and contribute to a virtual living world. The phrase 'living world' refers to the facts that players will remain in-game even while they log out, and that the world will change and adapt based on the actions of each player.
