Soulforged is a passion project of one developer aiming to create a game where players become a part of a living and breathing fantasy world. What makes Soulforged different is how your character is part of its persistent world at all times. As you go about your day, your character earns action points that you can then spend when it’s convenient for you on a variety of tasks like travelling, gathering, crafting or fighting. The game focuses on the important moments and does away with needing the players to spend hours upon hours every day to progress your character, like almost all other MMORPG games do.PricingThe entire game is completely free to play. On top of that I am committed to having no other monetization tied to the game. There will be no upfront cost, no micro-transactions, no macro-transactions, no in-game purchases, no purchasable cosmetic items, no loot boxes, no expansions nor “DLC”. You simply get access to the entire game for free and whatever you attain in the game – that’ll be all through in-game means.Feature listWhile the game is currently under development there’s already a number of features included in the game.
