Why you might like it

  • A voxel-based building and creation MMO from Daybreak Games, originally conceived as the content-creation toolset for the ambitious (and ultimately cancelled) EverQuest Next, before being spun off into its own standalone game.
  • Notable for its genuinely powerful in-game building tools, which let players construct remarkably detailed structures and shared some real technical DNA with EverQuest Next's voxel-based destructible-world ambitions.
  • Worth knowing about as a real piece of MMO development history — a rare case of a support tool for a cancelled flagship game getting its own full commercial release.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • The game is completely gone — Daybreak shut the servers down for good on February 21, 2017, only about seven months after its full June 2016 launch, following the earlier cancellation of EverQuest Next that had been its original reason for existing.
  • Daybreak explicitly ruled out any future fan revival, stating outright that it would not license or authorize the operation of a Landmark emulator or fan-operated server — unlike many closed MMOs on this list, there's no legitimate path to reviving it.
  • Contemporary criticism noted the building tools, while ambitious, were often clunky and performance-heavy, and with EverQuest Next's cancellation removing its central purpose, the game struggled to establish its own standalone identity before closing.
