Mythyn Interactive, the indie game developer of sandbox MMORPG Linkrealms, has announced the starting day of the next testing phase, which they have labeled “Winter Beta”. Beginning on January 9th, all registered users with a Beta Key and all purchasers of a Founder Pack will be able to play Linkrealms continuously for at least 3 weeks.
Linkrealms has received multiple updates since the Fall Beta, held in November 2015. In an effort to expand the variety of tasks craftsmen can carry out, the developers have introduced the new Contract System, through which players can receive orders for clothing and weapons from vendor NPCs. Completing such tasks will reward the crafter with a special currency that can be traded with Corporation Guildmasters for unique rewards.
We are told that support for multiple characters has been implemented, and every player is now able to create up to 5 different characters per account. Plus, the developers inform us that the whole login interface has been revamped for the occasion.
Furthermore, the balancing of all creatures in the game has been completed in order to provide users with an adequate challenge at all stages of progression for their characters.
Steam Early Access
Together with the announcement of the Winter Beta, Mythyn Interactive has confirmed that the team is actively working on the integration of Linkrealms with Steam, and that launch on Early Access has been scheduled for March 2016.
The game already successfully completed its Greenlight campaign in less than three weeks in July 2015. And good news: every purchaser of a Founder Pack will be able to play Linkrealms on Steam Early Access, without the need to pay any additional fee.
