Life is Feudal Overview
Life is Feudal: MMO aimed to portray a brutal, cooperative medieval frontier where progress came from work, coordination, and confrontation. You started as a low-skill survivor with basic gear and slowly improved both your character and your settlement—transforming untouched land into roads, fields, workshops, and fortified towns. The design emphasized long-term persistence and extremely high server population targets (10,000+ players), encouraging massive factions, prolonged feuds, and constantly changing borders.
Rather than a theme-park quest treadmill, the experience revolved around crafting, terraforming, building, and social structure. Materials needed to be harvested, refined, and hauled, and nearly every major undertaking demanded teamwork—raising walls, carving trenches, or growing a village into a defended stronghold. Combat leaned toward freer, skill-driven play that fit naturally with open warfare, including territorial disputes and guild-organized sieges.
Outside of combat, players could commit to productive careers that had real value to the wider community. Commerce and craftsmanship often rivaled battlefield success in importance, since weapons, armor, construction supplies, and logistics powered both survival and conquest. For those who enjoyed community-led play, guild organization and land control defined much of the endgame, with politics, alliances, and rivalries frequently deciding who thrived.

Development History / Background:
Life is Feudal: MMO was a sandbox MMORPG developed and published by Bitbox, with initial concept work reaching back to 2010. The game appeared on Steam Greenlight in February 2014 and was approved later that month. In May 2014, the studio stated that the larger Life is Feudal initiative would be split into two separate releases with distinct aims. Life is Feudal: Your Own focused on private communities capped at sixty four players, while Life is Feudal: MMO pursued far larger servers built to handle over ten thousand concurrent participants. Both releases used the Torque Engine 3D with extensive in-house modifications. The MMO began closed beta on December 14, 2016, launched on Steam on January 12, 2018, and ultimately shut down on January 18, 2021.
