Your code does the grinding
You start by fighting monsters and finding gear, either by hand or with the working default code that ships with the game. No programming experience needed. When curiosity strikes, open the editor and change one line at a time. Automate a potion first. Then teach your party to travel, pick targets, heal each other, or trade. A small idea can become the routine your whole party relies on, and watching it run in a live world is the payoff.
A party of four, each with a job
Each character runs its own JavaScript and can talk to the others. A well-timed heal or protective skill opens fights that raw damage alone cannot. There are no skill trees: you grow through levels, equipment, crafting, and learning what your skills can do.
Loot, crafts, and a player economy
Set up a merchant stand and let it work while you're elsewhere. Fair warning: substantial upgrades take days or even weeks, so pick your projects with care.
A world shared with other players
This is a real MMORPG, not a simulation of one. Other players' characters run around you, party up with you at bosses, and trade with your Merchant. Seasonal events like Halloween bring graveyard waves, Trick or Treating, and an animated emote. The Events window shows what's active and coming in the next 7 days, with reminders before things start.
What should you know before starting?
How grindy is it, really?
Quite grindy, and that is worth knowing up front. Early levels come quickly, but beyond them, meaningful upgrades can take days or weeks of farming, and some rare drops have very low rates. If you want fast progression, this is not it. If you like slow projects that compound over months, it fits.
Does it cost anything after buying?
No subscription. The base game keeps working with no further payment, and running your code yourself has no hourly charge. Optional purchases exist: cosmetics, extra bank storage, and Mainframe hosting, which keeps your party running while your computer is off. Steam owners get 250 Mainframe hours included, and bank storage can also be bought with in-game gold. None of it is required to keep playing.
Can you connect an AI to help with your code?
Yes, optionally. It is entirely optional, like everything beyond the base game. If you would rather keep things simple, the built-in editor, the documented API, and the community guides are enough to get a party running on their own.
