Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. This week, Wild Terra 2 received a major update, Zenith started Season 2, and Broken Ranks proves that p2w is alive and well. Plenty of other stuff is also going on, so let’s quit wasting time and get started with this week’s Indie MMO Spotlight.
Anvil Empires
Anvil Empires has a Major Test scheduled for Thursday, April 18th. You can request access to the playtest on the Anvil Empires Steam page.
BitCraft
More invites to the current Closed Alpha Test were sent out on Friday. Be sure to check your spam folder if you are waiting for an invite.
Broken Ranks
The date for TaernCon 2024 has been announced. If you plan on attending the annual event, mark your calendar for July 6th.
After a recent survey, the decision has been made to add Platinum Keys and the Alt Exp Buff to the Premium Store on servers that didn’t previously have them. While the MMORPG forums continue to be rife with anti-p2w threads, it appears that the majority of players who actually play games don’t mind spending their money on such items.
Coreborn: Nations of the Ultracore
The VoD for last week’s Coreborn stream is up, and it includes an extra reveal that wasn’t shown during the live stream.
Corepunk
The Alpha 2 Test planned for the end of April has been delayed a month. The test will now run from May 27th through June 2nd.
