8-BitMMO is a super lo-fi player-driven sandbox MMO that is playable freely in your browser. We got excited about those facts a while back, but now there’s more: the game of building has upgraded to include a playable zombie plague, player-trading, an ultra-zoom map that allows you to move out and see the entire world, and also a bunch of character customisation options, including the ubiquitous head decorations.
This big update for the game is now available to play. Trailer below!

When I read “8-BitMMO”, I thought it was talking about Realm of the Mad God.

The only game I need. A game with consistency and global rewards yet still deals you the emotional blow associated with perma-death (take note Blizzard).

Isn’t that what Diablo 3′s hardcore mode is about?

No, hardcore mode is about waiting for their servers to glitch and kill you, and your hours of work. At least for now….

I know this is why I will never be a good poker player, but how are people not gripped by a paralyzing fear when risking something that you’ve put 40+ hours of your life into? RotMG works for me precisely because you’ve invested like 30 min in a character.

Looks epic and funny. Old school shit. Gona give it a whirl.

Graphics aren’t everything, but this game appears to be working hard to look bad. I guess intentional lo-fi just isnt’t my thing.
