Does not include: The game's own launcher, console players, other storefronts (Epic, standalone clients), and any separate regions or server clusters. For most MMOs Steam is one launcher among several, so this is a floor, not a total.

Pros & cons
- ✓ Full-loot open-world PvP with zone-based risk tiers, castle sieges and guild-run territory
- ✓ Deep old-school sandbox — 14 professions, a player-driven economy, estates and land claims
- ✓ Free to try, with a safe starter island (~30–50h) before the harsh full-loot mainland
- ✗ Very small population — the harsh sandbox can feel empty, and the devs admit they soft-pedal bans to keep players
- ✗ Rough, seven-years-in-the-making Russian indie MMO — janky and unpolished (Mixed Steam reviews)
- ✗ The free tier is heavily gated (one character, no guild creation, higher taxes); the real game sits behind a paid DLC tier
Best for
- Full-loot sandbox PvPers who want risk-tiered zones
- Guilds chasing castle sieges and open-world territory
- Old-school EverQuest/Ultima Online diehards
Notes & links
On Steam in Early Access from April 4, 2024; exited to a 1.0 full launch on November 26, 2025 as free-to-play, with a complete character/progress wipe (players who had bought real-money items were re-granted them). The F2P model is tiered by access, not by power: free accounts are confined to the starter island of Rivulet, while paid DLC tiers unlock the mainland. PvP is zone-based: full loot in Black zones, partial loot with karma in Yellow zones, safe Green zones for newcomers. Live Steam metrics will replace the null placeholders on the next stats refresh.
