Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. This week, Corepunk outlines Early Access updates, Eternal Tombs gives thanks, and Fractured Online goes free-to-play. Plenty of other stuff is also going on, so let’s quit wasting time and get started with this week’s Indie MMO Spotlight.
