We're about two weeks away from Early Access for Valdrys, our 2D isometric MMORPG, and I wanted to share where we're at.

The first playtest went better than we hoped. Players jumped in, explored, fought bosses and gave us a lot of honest feedback. A few creators even made videos of it, and it was amazing to see people from different countries enjoying the world we've been building. Thank you to everyone who played, streamed or sent feedback.

What we've done since then:
Rebuilt the world. The old single map is now a connected overworld of 9 zones for levels 1-30, with branching routes, so the monsters feel placed with purpose and not scattered at random.

Class balance pass. Mage, Archer, Paladin, Nature Healer and Holy Healer have all been tuned so combat rewards timing, positioning and combos in tab-target fights. Rogue is still coming later.

Progression and content. We're still working on gear upgrades (+1 to +12), gathering (mining, woodcutting, herbalism), slayer, dungeons, elites and bosses, so there's always something to chase.

PvP. Arenas (2v2 and 5v5) and the open-world Bloodgrounds are in, and we're working on more ways to fight other players.

Our goal is for Valdrys to feel like a classic isometric 2D MMO should: a world worth exploring, clear progression, meaningful choices in combat, and a community that matters.

A new playtest is coming soon. We'll announce it here and on Steam, so wishlist the game if you want to be notified:

Early Access starts in 2 weeks from now. We'd love to hear what you want to see: classes, zones, systems, anything. Drop it in the comments!

I'm making Meridian, a multiplayer pixel-art world where you have your own room, decorate it, collect and trade furniture, and have people over. Habbo is a good comparison for that side of it.

But the building has its own history. Leave the lounges and head further down, and you find delivery tunnels, industrial spaces and ancient chambers. I want it to feel like somewhere familiar that gets stranger the more you explore.

Here's a short walk through it: https://www.reddit.com/r/isometric/comments/1xeofy6/a_walk_through_meridian_from_cosy_lounges_to/

The background crowd in that clip is staged with NPCs; the beta community is still small. These rooms are examples I've decorated with the furniture already in the game.

The iPhone beta is open: https://testflight.apple.com/join/4sDEk5u4

If you used to play social worlds like Habbo, what kept you coming back: the people, building rooms, collecting things, or something else? I'd love to hear what you'd want from a new one.

Hey everyone, I've been building a 2D side-scrolling action MMORPG called Lumenfall, and it just came out on PC and Mac. It's crossplay with iPhone, iPad and Android, so you keep the same hero and the same friends on any device.

• 5 classes with their own job paths
• Combo-based combat and big region bosses
• Raids, dungeons, party quests and guilds
• Pets, mounts and a ranked arena
• Keyboard and mouse, or a controller

Around 2,000 players are already in the world.

If you want to try it: lumenfallgame.com

Would love to hear what you think!

Hello!

I've been working on an MMO for just about a year now and I'm ready to start getting some feedback from those in the MMO community. At a super high level, the game is a tab-target, theme park, 2D MMO. It has most of what you'd expect from a theme park MMO, just in a 2D format. The world is entirely open, there's quests, dungeons, world bosses, world events, the holy trinity and character customization. If you've played WoW or FFXIV in any capacity it'll feel very familiar. Combat-wise, it’s closest to WoW in the TBC/WotLK era.

The game is meant to be fairly casual and basically anything you do in game progresses your account. Mounts and runes (similar to the card system from ragnarok) are shared account-wide, any gear/equipment can be shared to your alts, and there is an "account level" system that gives you flat benefits for alts(out of combat move speed, slightly more exp, out of combat regen).

One thing I do want to note is this is also on mobile, but it was first built as a PC game -> ported to mobile, rather than building an MMO with mobile first in mind. My goal was to make a game that could be played both on mobile and PC, without making mobile sacrifices. That still means you get a seamless open world, and potentially hundreds of players on screen (if you opt in, you can control how many players you see for performance reasons on lower end hardware).

Since I know it'll be asked, my plans for monetization are very similar to RuneScape(OSRS), where there will just be a small subscription($3-5) to access the full game. I abhor MTX and don't plan on adding any. Server costs are marginal and I don't need outside money to support them. My plan with the 1.0 release is to have that be the 'base game' and then anything additional added outside of the initial 3 zones(forest, swamp, badlands) will require a membership. That said, my goal is to keep the world alive and not have zones be forgotten, so older zones will constantly be getting updates for all levels of players. The game will also eventually be coming to steam, it's just a bit too early in the dev/release process for me to set that up. Release will probably be midway through 2027.

I'd specifically love feedback on basically all aspects of the game; the intro, UI, gameplay feel, level design/layout, if you think it's boring, if you think it's great...If you have concerns about generative AI in games, you can learn exactly what is/isn't AI on the AI disclosure on the website(it's just launcher/website art at this point). There are 3 artists that work on the game and all the in-game art is hand drawn specifically for Eldevar, outside of some indev placeholders, which there are not a lot of.

I really appreciate you all reading this and a huge thank you to anyone who decides to try the game out. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.

Hi All!

MMO for iOS and Android I’m working on if anyone is interested in following along this project, especially for Toontown players

Hi,

I think MMORPGs should have a party system that allows players to scale their level, gear, stats, and skills to match the party leader's level.

Not sure if this has been tried already but here's how it would go, the idea is that you can be a lower level than the party leader, but you can't be more than a few levels above them. For example, if your friend is max level and wants to play with you, they can join your party without having to create a new character or start over.

The party leader could enable a level-scaling setting that brings everyone down to their level. This would adjust the higher-level player's character to match what they would realistically have at that level, including their gear stats, character stats, and available skills.

As you level up, your friend's character would gradually unlock the skills they would normally gain at each level, and their gear and stats would scale accordingly. This way, both players progress through the game together, and the higher-level player gets to experience the content at the intended difficulty.

I know some games already have level-scaling systems, where lower-level players are boosted closer to the highest-level player. However, the problem with that approach is that you can still end up being carried through the content without properly learning how to play your character.

My idea is the opposite: instead of boosting the lower-level player, scale the higher-level player down to match them.

This would let friends play together regardless of their current progression while ensuring that everyone still learns their class, earns their abilities naturally, and experiences the game as intended.

Hi. Solo dev of DragonScape Idle here.

I posted it here twice before and said it is not an MMO yet. It still is not. But this week every player is fighting the same boss. So far 459 players attacked the boss.

DragonScape Idle is a free idle RPG for fans of RuneScape just idle.
Its also similar to Melvor but progression is quest based there are few co-op events.
19 skills from and 101 quests and 7 dungeons and 13 pets.

The event is Halloween The Pumpking King

You get 3 attacks a day. Each one lasts 60 seconds.
The damage of every player goes into one server total.
Together the server pushes the boss through 10 levels.
Every level pays everyone who attacked: pumpkin candy and gems. 1000 gems over all 10 levels.
Right now the server is at level 8 of 10.

Free and no ads. Browser and android with the same save.
Everybody who registers before 1 November gets 500 gems and a badge when the game goes global.

More than 1100 people have tried it so far. And 450 are still played yesterday

Hi there,

My gf and I play Fortnite a lot together (lol) I’ve been playing it since it came out off/on so I really want to switch it up.

Shes interested in trying an MMO/MMORPG, given we can play on the ps5 split screen. Co-op/story mode/online all together would be great.

We’re open to suggestions.
I used to play a lot of WOW, maplestory, RuneScape, tried final fantasy etc. I’m not super picky.

Let us know!

We were looking into Baldurs Gate 3 but I’m assuming it might be a lot for her

Hello Everyone. I want to invite you all to test our game Lumits. Its a monster tamer MMO. We launched a test for the game in less than a week and we are using it to get feedback from everyone playing so we can shape the game together. Feel free to join us on our discord and help us test and shape the game into something amazing!

I've led guilds in a few MMOs (Albion, Throne and Liberty, some WoW before that), and the hardest part was never the content. It was the organization around it:

- sign-ups scattered across Discord channels

- DKP or loot priority living in a spreadsheet only one officer understands

- loot decisions made in DMs, and the drama that comes after

- nobody really sure who showed up to the raid, siege or ZvZ

At some point I got tired of it and built a web tool for my own guild: event sign-ups with attendance, a DKP log where every gain and spend shows the reason and who logged it, and loot/auctions in the same place. It also posts events to Discord, so Discord stays for talking and the official record lives somewhere everyone can check.

It's free and I'm not here to push it. What I'd really like is to learn from other guild leaders:

- How do you handle loot today: DKP, loot council, rolls, something else?

- What causes the most drama in your guild?

- Have you tried a guild tool before? Why did you stick with it, or drop it?

- What would a tool need to have for you to actually switch?

Happy to share the link if anyone asks, but I'm mostly here for the discussion.
