Get Ready for Early Access
Early Access Begins on October 1st!
After all these years of working on Monsters & Memories these updates are starting to feel a little surreal.
This project started as livestream discussions about our favorite aspects of old MMOs, quickly became us cobbling together a playable build, and now consists of 50 (fitty) incredibly talented and dedicated fellow volunteers prepping to enter this next phase.
Thank you for being a part of the journey with us!
The path to MnM 1.0 is ahead.
We’re about to enter Early Access - which for us means more of what we’ve been doing, only with characters that won’t be wiped, and hopefully a bit of money coming in so we can take care of some of our team members. The game is not complete and development will continue as it has been - though, likely a bit faster.
We’ve been running a live server for 8-12,000 unique players each month in our Closed Alpha and Betas for most of the year. This has included customer service, server ops support, and live updates.
But even with this experience under our belts, we do expect the first few days/weeks of EA to be like they typically are for any new MMO. Even the big boys.
So, please join our Discord, Forums, use the Community Hub, and hop into livestreams to stay on top of info in real time.
The coming weeks and months will include more updates and we’ll get into more details about EA-to-1.0 then.
