Pathfinder Online, which is set to shut down on November 28th, has disabled all transactions in the wind down to closure.
Pathfinder Online's developers made the announcement today that the MMO will be coming to a close, sunsetting on November 28th. The MMO, which was Kickstarted for over a million dollars back in 2012, has seen its fair share of struggles over the years. However, Paizo has announced that the game will be coming to a close later this year, though they do state they will be working on a storyline for players to enjoy till the end.
Release notes for Pathfinder Online's v2.5 update are here covering off items, water, and more.
The latest update to Pathfinder Online has been deployed. Earlier this year, the team laid out an extensive roadmap of new features and improvements it would be making to the game over the course of about a year. The first update has been deployed and has met all of the stated goals for the patch as well as being delivered on time with a few extra additions as well.
Paizo CEO Lisa Stevens has written an extensive letter to update backers and the Pathfinder Online community about the future of the game. After an independent analysis, it was determined that the game needs to find its niche but that it would be unlikely that any major player on the MMO scene would be interested in finishing development. As a result, Paizo has decided to move forward on its own to try to complete the game within next year.

The Pathfinder Online site has been updated with a new blog post to tell players about the new mule system. Players can craft saddlebags to get their first mule that begins with a relatively small inventory and encumbrance level, but one that can be increased over time. Mules attacked by other players are considered an attack on the player. Mules reaching 0 HP will sit down and be free for the taking. Player death also frees the mule that can then be claimed by any other player in the area.
