Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. This week, Anvil Empire heads underground, Ember Sword gets collectible skins, and Scars of Honor is headed to the Brazil Game Show. 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
With a Minor Test happening this weekend, a new Devblog was posted this week. Devblog 17 covers underworld generation, mining, and the combat stability system that continues the improvements to combat that were covered in previous devblogs.
Broken Ranks
Server transfers from Thalia to Wyvern and Pavar to Naravar are currently open.
City of Titans
A short clip of combat was posted this week.
Corepunk
A new dev post announced another delay of the progress wipe this week. The wipe is now expected to happen on September 23rd. The delay is due to some improvements making up the next update still aren’t finished.
Dreamworld
If you wish to join the Steam playtest, all you need to do is head to the Dreamworld Steam page and hit the ‘Request Access’ button.
Ember Sword
What’s the point of using blockchain in an MMO, you ask? Buying and selling Limited Edition loot, of course. The Ember Sword Origins Collections Chest is currently available on Rarible. There are only 2500 units available, and all of the items in the loot chest are tradable items. The collection includes a Whiskers Player Character Skin, Whisker sword and shield, a Flux Storm Survivor Player Character Skin, an animated ‘Faint’ in-game emote, and 1000 $EMBER tokens. The price? Just .023 ETH. Oh wait, that’s $2357 as of this writing!
Eterspire
Build 35.0 was released on Monday. The update introduces direct player-to-player trade and new quests.
Fractured Online
Patch R.0.3 was released this week. The patch should resolve stuttering issues on older PCs as well as a Loot All feature.
Grimrain
Patches v0.0.417 and v0.0.421 were deployed this week, just in time for the weekend playtest. The playtest was capped at 100 players and ran Saturday and Sunday.
Nightingale
If you’ve recently started playing Nightingale due to the Realms Rebuilt update, there’s a new guide to introduce you to Untamed Realms (procedurally generated) and Public Realms.
There’s also a Realms Rebuit Starting Tips video that you can watch below to get up to speed.
