Post news Report RSS Vault raids, Pyramid building, and many more!

After a few months away from IndieDB working on things, we are pleased to announce the next stage, where our focus shifts to balancing the existing 2000+ item recipes, spells and dungeons. During this period, we will be adding new features such as a trap/disarm system, player-driven city building and looking into ships to leave the island the players are currently locked to. Please join in the fun and catch us in game. This game is 100% free (no item shops or subscriptions) so just try it!

Here at Mage Online we like to give you updates to exactly what has taken place in each patch so as usual this information is attached at the bottom to show you the pace we are working at. The most recent update log and information can be found on our forums at:

Mage-online.com

After a great deal of work on Fairlight's part, vault raids and pyramid building have been implemented into the game in order to give players more things to do with other players to achieve common goals. By doing this we hope to encourage more social gaming as opposed to typical anti-social gaming scenarios where a player feels it is better to fight/work alone. These updates are also part of our plan to let you players shape the world. Yes, YOU PLAYERS. This game is all about you so we want to hear what you think about the game. Even if you are reading this and are thinking "No, this game isn't for me..." then please tell us why. If you log in and play for 5 minutes and then stop, tell us why. We want to get as many opinions on our project as possible and improve on what we have so far.

Things to look forward to in the next months:

Item recipe balancing & calibration of item prices offered by vendor NPCs

Player settlement construction (villages, towns and cities) and permission control system

Traps & Trap Disarming along with some planning on how to implement lock-picking

It would be awesome for us if you could leave us a comment or even better catch us in game for us to show you around and talk you through the game/project (Developers/Moderators are typically online around 4pm GMT).

Got any skills you feel you can contribute to this project and want a platform to show them off? Get in touch with us and we would love to talk things through further with you.

As always, enjoy your gaming.

At the moment I'm with family for the holidays and my only Internet access is on my phone. Once I go back to college, I'll be glad to check out the game and give my point of view on it
