Following the announcement that development was ending for Greed Monger, a would-be crafting focused sandbox MMO that raised over $100,000 from crowdfunding before shutting its doors earlier this week, the folks over at Black Eye Games have stepped up with a gesture for its backers that the studio hopes will help maintain their faith in crowdfunded MMOs.

Meanwhile, if there are any Greed Monger, Embers of Caerus or another MMORPG Kickstarters backers who were not delivered yet what they paid for please contact me via support@gloriavictisgame.com with showing some proof of your donation for those projects. I will gladly send you invitation into the Gloria Victis hoping that you won’t loose believe in Indie Developers.

While only a small gesture – immediate access to Gloria Victis begins with backer levels as low as $10 -, the move represents a kind gesture of goodwill hoping to maintain good faith towards a funding process that many believe is a bubble just waiting to be popped.

Gloria Victis is a low fantasy Medieval MMORPG with an emphasis on realism. What does this mean? Open PvP with territory control, non-target combat, sandbox crafting, player-driven economy and no fireballs. All served up with a deep, mature story.

Gloria Victis is currently in pre-alpha testing and will be launching as a free-to-play title. The game has not announced its targeted window for full release.
