About
Welcome to Embers Adrift, Drifter! You've escaped the war-torn lands of the south by choosing to take your chances in the dreaded Darklands. After a grueling journey that has left your body wounded and your mind and memories scattered you discover the Great Chasm and a single solitary rope-bridge spanning across it. You hear pleasant tones inviting you across the bridge and discover drifter's landing. Not everyone escapes the Darklands, only the strong. You discover the City of Newhaven and its struggling inhabitants. After recovering with their help it is your turn to help them survive! Enter the lands north of the Old Wall, fight the Exiles who plot against your new home, discover old ruins and dungeons with untold treasures and fearsome monsters, and uncover the secrets of Ember - the source of powerful magic!
Embers Adrift is a unique fantasy PvE MMORPG with limited PvP in the arena. Whether you prefer solo play or group play there is something for everyone. Group-based content will bring you into the deepest, darkest corners of the world where the strongest monsters and loot can be found, while solo-content offers its own dangers and rare loot. Fight to level 50 and discover the unique progression our end-game content offers. Embers Adrift focuses on community, challenging content, immersion, rich lore, campaign-like quests sometimes with various endings, and is built on design principles found in classic MMOs. We hope you enjoy your stay in Embers Adrift.

I have been having a blast on this game, first day I found a guild that was very helpful and they have been helping me out with quests and running these massive dungeons!!! The community in this game is amazing and not toxic. Really can’t wait to see what else this game as to offer. For 20 bucks what do you have to loose if you enjoy playing tab target MMOs.
I think Embers checks the boxes for fans of MMOs circa 2000s. Environments are well done and the community is helpful, world chat is your friend.
I've played this game when it first came out and it sure felt like an alpha, but wow the game has improved. The game feels much smoother, the UI is much cleaner, the world has improved. I sure do feel like this game is just going in a direction that mmo players can come and play. I can't wait for more updates in this game.
Got this game on a summer sale for just a few quid. After playing on and off for a week, I actually felt guilty for paying so little for such a well-designed and enjoyable experience. Out of sheer respect for the developers, I ended up subscribing to the game and am glad I can contribute on a monthly basis. Quick disclaimer: I am playing with a group of friends, and I think the vibe would be very different solo. The game is clearly designed as an old-school MMO where grouping up is the way to go. The population can feel a bit low during EU time zones, but it's a blast with a squad. If I could change one thing, I'd love to see the high-fantasy elements dialled up. More magical mob types, expanded magic systems, or even a spellblade archetype would be incredible additions! To the dev team: Keep your heads up and keep pushing forward! Games with this level of soul and intentional design are rare nowadays. Thank you so much for your hard work and for delivering such a fantastic product. We see your dedication, and we appreciate it!
J'adore la création de personnages avec toutes les formes et tailles originales. Seulement niveau 2 mais j'apprécie pour l'instant.
Earn what you have.
It's good! But I don't recommend it. I feel the dark looming cloud of that post "..It's with a heavy heart that today we must announce.." I know what you guys are going for but there's no audience for this. There's just not. It's a shame because the game is fun and the world is cool and unique, both in story ideas and mechanics. It would be cool if they made it into like a GW1 type game or Ancient Kingdoms, and make an MRPG, leaving out the Massively Online part, and leave behind the constant fear of the game being unplayable tomorrow or the next day. Wish you all the best.
I love this game, but it's a dead game.
Yes.
