About This Game

Welcome to Ruin, a medieval fantasy sandbox MMORPG where players build homes, form guilds, explore an open world, master professions, conquer dungeons, and fight for territory.

Ruin is inspired by the slower, social feel of classic MMORPGs while giving players greater freedom to shape the world around them. Explore alone or with others, gather resources, craft equipment, build settlements, discover dangerous places and develop your character through the activities you choose.

A Medieval Sandbox MMORPG

Ruin is an open world MMORPG built around exploration, progression and player freedom.

Choose a class, learn new abilities, discover runes that change how you play, collect equipment and develop your character while exploring a persistent medieval fantasy world.

Whether you prefer questing, crafting, building, PvP, dungeons, gathering or simply exploring, there are different ways to progress.

Build a Home and Shape the World

Build and maintain your house, place furniture and crafting stations, store resources and develop the surrounding land through terraforming.

Players can gather materials throughout the world and use them to expand what they have built rather than simply returning to a static town between adventures.

Guilds can take this further by establishing their own territory and constructing shared settlements.

Form Guilds and Build Settlements

Guilds can claim territory, terraform the land, construct defensive walls and gates, place shared buildings and manage permissions for their settlement.

Expanding a guild town creates a larger space for members to build, craft, gather and prepare for adventures together.

Explore a Living Fantasy World

Travel through forests, settlements, coastlines, islands, caves and dangerous regions filled with creatures, resources and hidden locations.

The world features changing weather, rain, fog, wind and a day-and-night cycle that alter the atmosphere as you travel.

Bring a cart for supplies, sail the ocean to new lands, go fishing, search for resources or simply head away from established roads and see what you find.

Dungeons and Group Challenges

Tank, healer and damage roles each have an important part to play as your group fights through enemies and bosses in search of better equipment and valuable rewards.

At higher levels, players can take on more difficult Heroic and Heroic+ challenges with increasingly dangerous encounters and improved rewards.

Fight Other Players

Fight other players in organized battlegrounds or encounter conflict while exploring contested areas of the open world.

Guild settlements can be fortified with walls, gates and defensive structures, giving player built locations a meaningful place within the world.

Choose a Class and Shape Your Build

Each class has its own abilities and playstyle, using runes provide additional ways to modify abilities and develop different builds.

Collect equipment, improve your character and experiment with combinations that suit the way you want to play.

Craft, Gather and Trade

Professions are an important part of the world.

Gather resources and use them for crafting, construction and trade. Players can fish, cook, farm, gather materials and create useful equipment and supplies.

Items can be traded between players through the economy, allowing dedicated gatherers and crafters to have a place alongside adventurers and combat-focused players.

Your Place in Ruin

There is no single path through the game.

Build a home. Create a guild town. Master a profession. Explore the wilderness. Hunt for rare equipment. Complete difficult dungeons. Fight other players. Trade with the community.

Ruin is an independently developed MMORPG focused on creating a world where progression is not only about increasing your level, but also about what you build, discover and leave behind.
