Linkrealms is a Sandbox MMORPG that harks back to the roots of classic online role-playing games, where community was the center of the user experience, one's choices mattered, and reputation was earned on the battlefield rather than leaderboards. With its mix of old-school design choices, modern features and unique servers, Linkrealms caters to the needs of the hardcore mmo nostalgic as well as to the player looking for a more laidback online experience.
Key Features:

Player-driven Economy
Gather resources through farming your own fields, mining and hunting, then sell them to others or convert them into valuable items using tools and your own skills. Take a player dedicated to cultivating his estates and brewing magical concoctions, and another one who enjoys locating mineral veins, extracting ores and crafting fine armors. When the two meet or use each other's vendors, there are profits for all!

Classless Gameplay
Regardless of your character's race, you will gain all skills as you use them, and enhance your abilities further by gathering the best tools and equipment. As you become more powerful, you will begin to specialize and develop your own unique mix of talents. Join a guild as swordsman and illusion specialist, or run solo and get rich as farmer or miner with some fire magic on the side. You'll be able to experiment and change your focus over time, so go for it!

Land Ownership
The world of Linkrealms is divided into hundreds of realms. Claim yours and use it to build literally anything! Wall off your own fields, raise a guild hall for your friends and training zones for your pets, or just an awesome manor to inspire envy! You'll also be able to place vendors, set up switches and doors, traps, teleporters – and even monster spawners if you want to get a little more creative.

Open Dungeons & Smart Creatures
The world of Linkrealms is full of events and dungeons that are open for anyone to enter. If you're a solo thief, think twice before sneaking up on a large raiding party while they fight the boss monster! The most impressive creatures use advanced AI, giving them the sense to avoid danger and work in teams. Your pets share the same technology, can be bred for specific traits and trained in a punish/reward fashion.

Catering to All
Some people like the old-school hardcore PVP rules, while others would rather not be surprised by assassins while using the out-house. Servers can vary not only in rule and skill sets, but may contain very different landscapes and dungeons. Fighting is a skill easily learned, but difficult to master - especially when other players are involved. There are many battle skills available, and what works against some may fail against others.

Free to Play (once out of early access)
Create a new account, download the game and play for free - forever. All of the content is available to you with no restrictions. Using the in-game store helps supporting the development team, but nothing a player can purchase is going to make him suddenly powerful or give him an unfair advantage. Linkrealms welcomes all players to the community!

See you in the realms!

Didn't even go through Kickstarter for this one. The guys on /r/mmorpg were excited about this.

He found his inner toiletlord. He must claim his rightful place as leader of the goons just in case one day a sandbox MMO makes a comeback.

He has a God Hole. Most people fill it with religion, others with money, and even a few with pussy. He fills his God Hole with UO successors.

Wonder what would happen to me if I mentioned this - I'm a woman who thinks the male-only titles are lovely and off-putting - on the steam forums for a full-loot PvP hardkkore game? I wonder if I could collect ten violence / rape threats in an hour?

I'm tempted to make that post.

Game looks awful, full-loot PvP is stupid, and it looks like they decided to let their powergaming whales start p(l)aying 2+ years ago so they can be sure to win any encounter with a new player. At least they know their niche market.

Honestly Princess, Duchess, and Baroness would possibly be equally as offensive. Either way, you should be honored they had enough respect not to include you in this horrible excuse for a grief-fest. As small as the full loot, open world, pvp market is I just can't believe anyone thinks this will have a chance at survival. I actually am a fan of this genre when its done right (and it never is) and I wouldn't even come close to this lazy attempt at a sandbox.

I am fantastically curious of how you would do this genre right without ending up with a moba. The intrinsic problem with this sort of game is it only works with sheep for the wolves to attack and that sheep population turned tail and fled as soon as there were no-wolves-allowed ruleset games to play. Once wolves start preying on other wolves the weaker wolves have a cry about balance, or grinding or everyone else being OP and leave. That cycle repeats until only one wolf is left and your game is not only dead but with an incredible community of people who will tell you exactly how much they hate it.

What? I wouldn't be asking for replacement to Princess etc. Just an option for both, depending on what gender you select. That's kind of the whole idea behind equality - let's all play.

If I cared about this game, which I don't.
