Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. With summer nearing its end, this week was pretty quiet overall. Fractured Online (image above) is headed back to Steam Early Access, Starkeepers gets a new name and Alpha info, and Palia releases its OST. There is some other stuff going on, so let’s quit wasting time and get started with this week’s Indie MMO Spotlight.
