Xsyon is a post-apocalyptic sandbox MMORPG by Notorious Games. Since release in 2011, Notorious Games has been working hard to improve Xsyon, making many improvements and adding new features. Starting on Friday May 18th, Notorious Games will be giving inactive past players 10 days free game time to return and experience how Xsyon has evolved. Players will be given free time over the course of a few weeks, followed by the removal of abandoned tribes and the advent of undead that will haunt those abandoned areas.
Here are some of the improvements to Xsyon since the official launch:
- Expanded, flexible, part based construction system allowing players to build expansive buildings and towns.
- Completely new twitch based manual combat system with held directional swings and parries.
- Enhanced creature system. Many new and stronger creatures now inhabit Xsyon, breeding, ageing, growing in power and becoming mutants.
- Improved crafting system providing crafting tool and material bonuses.
- Redistributed rare and valuable resources.
- Forestry system with trees that grow spread and can be planted by player characters.
- Revised User Interface based on player input, including tabbed chat, a map panel, weather gauges and improved customization.
- Improved rendering with HDR lighting, detailed soft shadows and enhanced visual effects.
- Player made carts for transporting large amounts of goods and buildings as storage.
- Revised lock and permission system to control shared access of private and tribal goods.
- Vastly improved client and server stability.
Xsyon is set to receive more improvements and updates soon. Upcoming patches will introduce improvements to skills, stats and a new player-made quest system. If you are an old player, or perhaps even a brand new player, Notorious Games encourages sandbox freaks to come check out their unique mixture of fantasy and post-apocalyptic.
