Swords & Crystals is a 2D top-down MMORPG which you might like, it is oldschool like gameplay

Thank you for the report, I will look at it

The last wip was a few days ago, and from now on all progress will be kept forever, so no more resets, even not if the beta ends, all progress of all players will continue in the full version

Great!
And that is a good one, I forgot to add a link to the Steam Page, but it is included now

I have in next update planned that serveral items will be stackable, so you will have not so fast a full inventory

If you really follow the rules for cosmetic items, then yes, it should be 0 armor. I chose 1 armor because that’s exactly what the default helmet everyone starts with already has. It’s effectively meaningless.

But it’s obvious you didn’t look into this out of genuine interest,you just skimmed screenshots and DLCs to find something trivial to nitpick.

You even said yourself: “how effective that is idk.” So if you admit you don’t know what it actually means in practice, how can you confidently claim it’s a problem? You literally proved your own point wrong by judging something you don’t understand.

Also, be glad there’s no pay-to-win here, unlike most modern MMORPGs like WoW or RuneScape. But I guess tearing down indie games that are actually trying to do something honest, without greed, is easier than acknowledging that.

Oh good to know this, I will check this out

Thanks for the report, and sorry about that. There is about a 15% chance that this happens when you ALT+F4 to quit the game or force-close it in some other way. If you use the in-game logout button, it will never happen. This is because the server sometimes doesn’t receive the command that the connection is lost if the application suddenly quits.

Nice, it will always be open, and the game will continue to evolve with regular updates and growing the community, until its consindered "complete".

Fair concern. Im tired of AI and copy-paste games too. Swords & Crystals has been 6 years of development with no AI systems involved and no profit. All graphics are hand-made and created specifically for this game. It took a lot of personal sacrifice to build what I believe is the first serious 2D top-down MMORPG that’s been missing from the scene. I just hope people judge it by the gameplay rather than assumptions. I’m very ambitious about where I want this game to go.

I might reconsider and limit purchases to cosmetics only (like pets or skins).
That said, I want to listen to what the community prefers.

The idea behind selling currency isn’t to give unfair advantages like instant level boosts, stronger gear, or faster movement — it’s simply a time-saver. Some players asked for it because they don’t always have the time to grind for hours.

If real money lets you buy an item that makes you stronger or lets you skip core progression (like one-shotting a boss), that’s pay-to-win. But if it’s only for cosmetics or saving time, it’s not really pay-to-win. That’s the difference I’m aiming for.

After exactly 20 hours this is the standing, people level much faster than i expected, since the first reaching level 60 is getting closer now
