TerraWorld Online

TerraWorld Online was a free-to-play 2D sprite-based MMORPG from Belgian studio TerraNovita Software, launched in 2002 with quest-driven questing across three classes, player housing, crafting life skills, and guild-based territory warfare. TerraNovita's own site confirms the official servers were shut down in 2014 after 12 years of continuous operation. An unofficial fan-run continuation, "TerraWorld Online Reborn," has since been built on the same FSO engine and operates separately from the original.

Before you play

Things to consider

  • The original TerraNovita-run service has been closed since 2014; today's "TerraWorld Online Reborn" is an unofficial, separately-run fan project, not the original service.
