Over the past year, Fractured Online has had its share of ups and downs. From seeing the indie MMO pulled down thanks to parting ways with Gamigo in 2022, working on bringing the MMO back with only part of the original team, it’s not been easy.
However, today marks a milestone for the Dynamight Studios team as Fractured Online dropped its Steam Early Access today, bringing the MMO back to the community.
While the dev team opened up character creation in anticipation of today’s launch back on November 2nd, today marks the relaunch on Valve’s platform. To mark the occasion, Dynamight Studios is offering up discounts to anyone interested in jumping into the MMO’s early access, with a 20% discount on both Steam and the studio’s own store.
Final post before relaunch with extensive patch log, mostly balancing-related, and more!https://t.co/eLKt6tmsV4Other topics touched:- Launch postponed from 4pm CET to 7pm CET- 20% launch discount- Game masters and moderation - a clarification and a call for volunteers! pic.twitter.com/pAS7ltY0sr
— Fractured Online | Relaunch November 8 | 7pm CET (@FracturedOnline) November 8, 2023
The Fractured Online team also detailed some volunteer roles for Game Masters and Mods, though there are some restrictions based on what role you are brought in as - Game Admins, for example, cannot play on a normal player account under any circumstance. As to why the team is opting for volunteers for GM and admin roles, it might be the result of Dynamight’s previous admission that there was “barely any budget left” at the studio.
Today’s relaunch also brought a full patch that affects everything from armor and monster damage to recipes and enchantments.
