Attention all gamers and MMO enthusiasts! A thrilling comeback story awaits us today. Dreadmyst, the free-to-play indie MMO, has risen from the ashes and is back on Steam with a bang! But here's where it gets controversial...
Dreadmyst's journey back to Steam was not without its hiccups. Initially removed due to a misunderstanding about asset ownership, the developers had to navigate a complex situation. They clarified that the assets were indeed purchased, but from an unauthorized seller, leading to a temporary delisting.
However, with the support of NCSOFT's Gameforge and Valve's thorough review process, the issue was resolved. Both parties recognized Dreadmyst as a passionate, non-profit project, clearing the way for its triumphant return.
And this is the part most people miss... The game's comeback is accompanied by a massive update, packed with exciting new features!
For starters, two new solo dungeons have been added to St. Revere, catering to high-end players who enjoy a solo challenge. The Desecrated Altar, accessible via keys obtained from Knight Maximus, guards a formidable boss named Ebondeath. Defeating him yields Godly items, orbs, Magic Dust, and a generous gold reward. The second half of the dungeon, Salmaster's Descent, ups the ante for well-geared adventurers.
But wait, there's more! Solo dungeon keys are now soulbound, and engaging bosses beyond the first tier will aggro the entire zone. Players must be well-prepared, but for those who aren't quite ready, there's an option to sell unused keys for gold.
The update also introduces a new contested PvP zone, the Thicket of Wyrms. This open-world area promises more than just human-vs-human combat. Strong monsters drop highly coveted items like Draconic Treadsure and Flawless Diamonds, ensuring a lively and competitive environment. And here's a twist - dying to an enemy player results in a gold steal, incentivizing players to keep the PvP action going!
For PvE competitive players, a new dungeon speed run ladder tracks full clears across solo and group dungeons, with separate rankings for each class. There are some qualifications to meet, so be sure to read up on the update details.
Additionally, Dreadmyst has expanded its transmutation system with spell scrolls offering cross-class abilities, new recipes for Flawless Gems, stat scrolls, Divine Orbs, and an exciting new top-tier material: Draconic Gems.
With so much new content, it's no wonder players are buzzing with excitement. If you haven't given Dreadmyst a try yet, now might just be the perfect time!
