Free to Play
[ 2013-12-15 02:57:57 CET ] [ Original post ]
8BitMMO is now fully Free to Play on Steam! As I explained on the store page, previously I was very worried about being able to handle server scalability. I wanted to initially limit the number of players online by requiring a premium pack purchase -- that way I could be sure that the servers were able to handle the load. Many of you were disappointed by this decision, and I understand your frustration. Based on how well the servers were able to handle yesterday's load, I am now feeling confident we will be able to handle the server load of open access to everyone. Based on this and your feedback, I have decided to open up access today. If you like, you are still able to purchase the founder packs. Note that for the founder packs, the game checks & grants them when you boot up the game's launcher, so if you do buy them, please be sure to restart the game. If you purchased a founder pack yesterday, I am very appreciative of your support. While the game is now available to all for free, they will not be receiving the gold, plat, and hat bonuses that are exclusive to you -- so I hope you will still consider your purchase worthwhile. Best, RobbyZ

8BitMMO is a retro-style 2D massively multiplayer game! It's a giant construction sandbox -- you can build a home or a castle in a persistent streaming world. Found and manage your own city. Fight evil LawyerCats and engage in Player vs Player battle.
100% Player Built World - The entire world is built by players. Build your own house, town, voxelart, or dungeon. The world is massive -- there's plenty of space to build in, and it streams in as you explore (no load screens).
Be the Mayor - Start your own town and invite your friends. You'll have an array of management tools for overseeing your town.
Interactive Development - The entire game only has one full-time developer, and development is still ongoing. You can submit and vote on ideas -- many of the top voted ideas have been implemented into the game. Free updates with new content and features are frequently released.
Anti-Griefing Systems - Several systems protect players from griefing.
Free To Play - No purchase necessary to have fun. Support the developer and buy a fancy hat... or don't. (Premium items give NO competitive advantage)
Customize your Character - Wear hats, clothing, accessories, change your skin color
Become a Zombie - Want to be a zombie? You can! But you'll need a steady supply of delicious brains from other players. Don't worry, after you eat their brain, they'll be zombies too!
Fight Nefarious Enemies - Congressional Lobbyist Slugs, LawyerCats, and Hipsters oh my.
MegaMap - The world is huge, so the MegaMap interface (based on Google Maps API) is a handy way to browse the world and share your creations with friends.
Music - Enjoy chiptune from legendary artists Danimal Cannon, Zef, PROTODOME, and Honin Myo Audio.
