Sandbox MMORPG

Linkrealms

Linkrealms was a free-to-play 3D sandbox MMORPG from indie developer Mythyn Interactive, inspired by classic Ultima Online-style hardcore sandbox design. Players used a classless, skill-based system to fight, craft, own land, and trade in a player-driven economy, with hardcore full-loot PvP servers available. Despite years of beta testing, the game never attracted a large playerbase and shut down on January 31, 2018.
