Salem

Salem players have been informed by the development team that, in preparation for a large update, all characters will be wiped and that servers will be completely reset. Because of extensive reworking of several in-game functions, the team felt this was the better option. Players will not lose purchased items or items gained by preordering Salem. The wipe is expected to take place approximately two weeks from now.

Paradox Interactive has announced that Seatribe, a two-man development team, will take over full ownership and management of Salem, the Crafting MMO. According to GamesIndustry.biz, the transition will allow the game to "mature" and reach its potential to increase its odds for longevity.

Paradox Interactive released its first MMO, Salem, not too long ago. It's a hardcore sandbox experience, according to the development team. Does it deliver? Find out in our latest review before heading to the comments.

Salem is a game that is generating a lot of buzz for many reasons, most notably its permadeath option. We had the chance to check it out in person and have a full report. Read on!

Paradox Interactive has announced that beta sign ups for its permadeath MMO, Salem, are now being accepted. Beta testing is slated to begin at the end of April. To celebrate the announcement, the team has also released a new video developer diary about venturing "Into the Wild".

The Salem team has released a new developer diary that details the way crime and punishment will be handled in the permadeath game from Paradox Interactive. The idea is that towns create "authority items" that give clues to the town's ranger when a crime has been committed. These 'scents' allow the town ranger to track the individual perpetrating the crime and lets them deal out the appropriate punishment, usually death. http://www.mmorpg.com http://www.paradoxplaza.com/games/salem
