Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. This week was a pretty slow news week, but there’s still stuff to check out. Broken Ranks and Palia are getting ready for Halloween, Once Human had a livestream and apologizes for lag issues, and Dreamworld has embraced AI as they begin inviting new players to their current test.
