Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. This week, the Cyber Immortals Android test is underway while BitCraft’s Alpha 1 comes to an end, Oath Games acquires struggling MMO Ethyrial: Echoes of Yore, and A Township Tale adds and then quickly removes a new feature. And although it isn’t an MMO, my Early Access review of indie city-builder Manor Lords is up for your reading pleasure. Plenty of other stuff is also going on, so let’s quit wasting time and get started with this week’s Indie MMO Spotlight.
