Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. This week, Corepunk delays its server wipe, Dreamworld prepares for a limited Steam build test, and Zenith pushes out its final content update. Plenty of other stuff is also going on, so let’s quit wasting time and get started with this week’s Indie MMO Spotlight.
BitCraft
How much land did you acquire during the BitCraft Alpha 2? The odds are that you didn’t come close to the Whispering Wastes Empire, which held over 16% of the map and had 1348 territories under its control.
City of Titans
Check out the new video showing off some new animations being worked on under UE5.

Fractured Online
Just as the extended Fractured Online Free Play Week neared its end (September 1st), the game became a victim of a DDOS attack. The attack actually shut down the game server, which has been restarted with minimal rollback. All VIP subscriptions will be granted an additional 24 hours.
