The birth of robots who look like humans, who think like humans, who feel emotions like humans…
Why did humanity create robots that resemble human beings?
One of their two creators, Dr. Light said, “Humanoids are the descendants of humanity. They are friends that will work together with us to create a more prosperous way of life.”
Their other creator, Dr. Wily said, “As god made man in his image, the birth of humanoids is simply humanity’s first step to becoming gods.”
The wars started from the two creators’ differences in ideals. Nobody ever expected them to rage on for the length of centuries without end.
Now, a new chapter begins in the history of these long wars, surpassing eras and generations!

Yes, another Korean MMO. Not MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online RPG), it's now being described as an MORPG (Massively Online RPG). I'm sure there are quite a few other Rockman fans here at SouthPerry, so you might be interested in this regardless.
This is a joint effort by Capcom and a Korean company known as NeoWiz. NeoWiz does have offices in the US, so one would think that this game will make it stateside eventually. Before anyone asks, this is NOT the same thing as Mega Man Universe. Gameplay has been described as being a 2-D platforming RPG game with a 3-D background, so to speak.
The plot... You can read up on it here and here. The backstory is actually surprisingly detailed, even though the plot more or less boils down to the UCA (United Continent Association) vs URA (Ultimate Repliroid Association). To put it simply, think of it all as a mix of Classic, X, and ZX. I doubt this is canon.
