We have less than two weeks until the close of our Kickstarter fund raiser. We are far from our desired goal, however, please do back us if you would like to bring Xsyon to the next level! Your support will at least help us gauge if it's worthwhile to set up similar reward options on this site or another Kickstarter project with a lower goal in the next few months.

Please visit our Kickstarter Project Page for full details.

Please continue to Vote Daily for us on MMOSite. You can click the link on the top of each page or the visit the link on the launcher.

We've launched an Event Calendar today that can be accessed via the Home Page and the Calendar link above the Forums (between the FAQ and Community links).

Coming Soon:
Christmas Event - December 22
Survivor Auction Event - December 29
Time Crystal Challenge - Every Sunday for the next few weeks.
Architecture Contest - Running through January 13th.

The latest Questions For The Developers have been answered here.

I've been very busy with the recent changes to our strategy to gain more players lately. Our next content patch will be in January and will feature trade functions using local currency at totems. This will precede crafting and resource revisions which are also slowly in progress.

We are continuing to see many new faces in Xsyon. Please give them a warm welcome and help them out in game!

We've made some minor revisions to the Xsyon launcher. Please download the most recent installer HERE

There is only one download / patch option with this launcher. If you are using the older launcher you will see a link to install the updated version.

Our forums have been reorganized today. We've removed the previous Public sections as now all forums are open anyone that signs up for a forum account. In addition, we've cleaned up and removed some redundant sections.

We're off to a good start with Steam Greenlight. Thanks for the support!

The Test Server is open for public testing of trade functions at the main totem. Tribes will be able to place separate Trade and Quest totems anywhere on tribal land when this feature is complete. More information and a request for feedback is here.

I've answered the latest Questions For The Developers here.

Please continue to support us on Steam Greenlight. We are off to a very good start though we expect things to slow down this week as Xsyon is no longer a new addition to the Greenlight program. Thanks again for the votes so far!

Thank for all the support on Steam Greenlight!

Although I expected a steep drop off in interest after the first week, it didn't happen. We are continuing to receive a lot of positive attention and have reached 60% to the top 100 games on Greenlight after just two weeks! If you haven't voted for us yet on Greenlight, please do, and pass along the link to your friends and guild mates.

Two of our players will be streaming Xsyon live on a regular schedule. You can tune in to their channels:

Healshot Mon-Fri 8pm-12 midnight EST
MageSW Mon-Thu 9pm-12 midnight PST

Please check their channels for additional times.

February 8 2013

I've been silent the past 2 weeks as I'm consumed by the next round of features (and with a flu but that didn't slow me down much). Progress is steady and I thank a few coders that have stepped up to assist me with specific bug fixes and new features.

The Test Server is now open for public testing, again with a blank database.

Trade totems are almost wrapped up including the placement of separate Trade and Quest totems.
Tribe alliance functionality is set up and in testing.

Tribes will be allowed to place Trade and Quest totems on allied tribe land, allowing tribes to come together and form larger Trade and Quest market places.

Agriculture is well under way and we will announce when we are ready for testing sessions with the Guides assisting.

I will post a new feedback thread when we're ready. Right now we're still wrapping up a few known issues (such as what happens to totems and items for sale when alliances are broken or tribes are disbanded).

February 16 2013

We've been running continuous tests on the Test Server for resetting terrain on public land. This will include regrowing grass. Both of these have been highly requested improvements over the past year. The current tests gradually revert terrain heights back to normal if the terraformed land is not on tribal land. Changes will be gradual. Currently we are testing with the system sped up so that I can determined how many changes are possible per hour without stressing the server and database saves.

In addition, we continue to work on the agriculture system, crafting changes. (Thank you for those who provided feedback during our last tribal council!). Trade totems are ready to go, but are waiting for public release while I implement totem upkeep that will serve as a sink for local currency.

The Test Server will remain open to the public while we continue the terrain and agriculture tests but I'm not yet ready for public feedback. I will post a feedback thread when I am.

Enjoy!
