Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. This week, Ravendawn and others have started their winter events, Broken Ranks rewards their friendly Discord community, and Wild Terra 2 adds a PvE server. Plenty of other stuff is also going on, so let’s quit wasting time and get started with this week’s Indie MMO Spotlight. But before we do that, if you’re interested in indie development in general, fellow writer Kevin Chick is documenting his indie development journey in a new series, and Part 2: Let’s Talk Monetization, was posted this week.
