Borderlands Online disappeared from the scene after only one year.
While most fans are looking forward to the Borderlands 4, which will be released in September, a single player tries to get the MMO Borderlands, which is rather unknown in this country online – and he is already making progress.
Borderlands Online was released in China in 2014 as a Free2Play shooter MMO and was stopped again a year later. At the same time, the responsible studio by Publisher Take-Two Interactive, 2K China, was also closed in Shanghai.
A start is made
The Modder and Dataminer Epicnng shared a video of the character editor of Borderland's online on his X-account, which probably no one has seen since the end 10 years ago.

The actual game has not yet been accessible, but in a comment EpicNNG reveals that he assumes that he has all the data and he now has to determine which content actually works. However, the aim is to make as much of the MMO as possible.
A strange find Has the Dataminer ready. In the files, the Dust 2 card from Valves Multiplayer Shooter Counter-Strike was hidden in the files. What the CS-MAP does in the Borderlands MMO is unclear, it may have been used for test purposes.
A look at the 2014 Chinese trailer reveals that Borderlands online visually resembles the first series part:

What kind of game was Borderlands online?
The MMO should be the four classes Jäger, soldier, berserker and siren have. The planet was a game world Pandora planned, a well-known patch for borderland fans. There was Hub cities, in which players met and together for groups for quests outside the cities.
Crafting Was an important feature and new weapons not only made, but also improved. The other content included Guilds and special PvP arenas.
It remains to be seen whether Epicnng actually gets the game up and running. It is currently falling again and again after the character creation. But maybe he succeeds in bringing a piece of Borderlands back to life and preserving it for posterity. If you don't have it with nostalgia, you will find more information about the current borderland in the box.
