Ruin

Ruin is a medieval fantasy sandbox MMORPG where you explore an open world, develop your character, build homes and settlements, master professions, take on dungeons and fight for territory. You can explore alone or with others, gathering resources, crafting equipment and choosing from activities such as questing, building, PvP and exploration to progress.

Explore the world

Travel through forests, settlements, coastlines, islands, caves and dangerous regions filled with creatures, resources and hidden locations. Changing weather—including rain, fog and wind—and a day-and-night cycle affect the atmosphere as you travel. Bring a cart for supplies, sail to new lands, fish, search for resources or venture away from established roads.

Build homes and settlements

Build and maintain a home, furnish it, place crafting stations, store resources and terraform the surrounding land. Materials gathered throughout the world can be used to expand your buildings, rather than simply returning to a static town between adventures.

Guilds can claim territory and create shared settlements by terraforming the land, building walls and gates, placing communal buildings and managing permissions. Members can build, craft, gather and prepare for adventures together, while defensive structures let them fortify their settlements.

Develop your character

Choose a class, learn abilities and discover runes that change how those abilities work. Each class has its own abilities and playstyle, and runes let you modify abilities and develop different builds. Collect and improve equipment, then experiment with combinations that suit your approach.

Dungeons and combat

In dungeons, tank, healer and damage roles each have an important part to play as groups fight enemies and bosses for equipment and rewards. At higher levels, you can take on Heroic and Heroic+ challenges, with increasingly dangerous encounters and improved rewards.

You can also fight other players in organized battlegrounds or encounter conflict while exploring contested areas of the open world.

Professions and trade

Gather resources for crafting, construction and trade. You can fish, cook, farm, collect materials and make useful equipment and supplies. Players can trade items through the economy, giving gatherers and crafters a role alongside adventurers and combat-focused players.
