Wyvern
This game is a revival of a 20+ year old game that maintains many of philosophies of old school gaming.
First thing first. This Game Is Hard. Hand-holding is new, and slowly being introduced to help the new generation of gamers, but for the most part you are going to have a hard time. Be prepared to get lost, be prepared to die. Be prepared to get confused. Fortunately, the community is very kind and is always willing to give you a helping hand.
Why is the game good? It allows nearly infinite customization. You can make your character into nearly anything you want - A Stone giant mage? We’ve got you covered. A blade-wielding ninjja pixie? Yup. A halfling who is demi-god and master of the elements that slays multiple foes at once with a combination of dragon breath and thunderstorms? You betcha. There is also an insane amount of replay value as you dream up unique combinations of characters and then create and play them to see your ideas come to life.

This is a great old-school, “open-world” game that has been around long before Steam. I’ve been a fan since 2007. I don’t know if I’d call it a MUD or an MMO anymore, but it fills a niche that other games just don’t seem to be able to these days.
In Wyvern, players train their characters by fighting monsters throughout the maps of the world, through randomly generated dungeons, and by performing quests for the NPCs of the world. Each level rewards skill points for a player to allocate as they please. There are a handful of races to chose from, and many skills to train that players can train at their own whim with skill points gained through levelling up, though meta skill builds do tend to be the most powerful.
