One of the MMORPG genre’s oldest games is not only still chugging along but is getting updates in this modern era. In June, the roleplaying-centric Underlight rolled out a patch that did a lot more than merely make token improvements to the game.
The patch adds new areas, a guild hall system, more magical arts, teaching improvements, power token charges, a rebalanced forge, and a pmare system overhaul. Sure, the game still looks positively ancient and might serve more as a living museum of 1990s design, but for players who cherish its history and RP depth, it still serves a purpose. And yes, anyone can still play it.
