The Hammers End

The Hammer's End is a free-to-play, persistent open-world MMORPG from small indie studio Adventure World Studios, built on a custom engine designed specifically for the game rather than a licensed one. Players begin as either a Woodland or Marsh creature, explore two lush continents, complete quests and dungeons, craft gear, and level to 50, with unrestricted open-world PvP available on PvP servers once level 7 is reached. Live since 2013, the game has continued to receive updates, including a new "atmosphere engine" visual upgrade, and its official site remains active with a working client download.
