About

What is Forgotten Runiverse?

Forgotten Runiverse is a free-to-play pixel art MMORPG played in the browser, based on the Forgotten Runes Wizard's Cult collection. Land plots and minted items are NFTs on the Ronin blockchain, and the world holds 70,000 plots in five sizes. The game is made by Magic Machine.

How Forgotten Runiverse works

You create a Wizard, or play as your Forgotten Runes Wizard NFT if you own one, and progress toward level 50.

Wizards have no innate abilities: they equip memory crystals in four tiers (basic, high, heart, soul) and specialize in one of seven schools of magic, some of which gate regions. Crystals, weapons, suits and hats are crafted from recipes and materials that enemies drop. Two players can Sync abilities, for example a fireball and a wall into a fire wall.

Land is sold as NFTs on Ronin in five sizes: 8x8 Homestead, 16x16 Settlement, 32x32 Village, 64x64 Town and 128x128 City, 70,000 plots in all. Owners can build on, rent or sell plots. Gold is the in-game currency. During pre-release, minting is limited to land, special event items and the Watcher's Ring collection. Parties hold up to four players for PvE and PvP, and there are monthly PvP leagues.

Forgotten Runiverse fees and limits

The terms of use, last updated October 3, 2023, let the company introduce fees for using the platform and accept credit and debit cards, certain cryptocurrencies and USDC.

Forgotten Runiverse is free to play, and its homepage lists no land prices or marketplace fees. A purchase becomes binding when you commit to a buy-now listing or win an auction, and the terms say no refunds are possible because of the nature of NFTs and blockchains. When another player is the seller, the company is not a party to the NFT license, and the FAQ confirms the developers profit from secondary-market sales.

Risks to know before using Forgotten Runiverse

The FAQ says the developers profit from secondary-market sales and still gives an end-of-2024 release target, so check which features are live before buying land.
Minted items are Ronin NFTs whose supply, the FAQ says, the developers cannot inflate.
Item value depends on other players wanting them.
