About Shards Online Shards Online is breaking away from the modern MMO conventions of levels, classes and quest grinds. We are returning to living virtual worlds where stories emerge naturally as players explore the worlds laid out before them. The game will launch with a complete game containing several official rule-sets. The default rule-set will be immersive with real consequences for death and areas with unrestricted player versus player ruleset. We are initially targeting the PC platform, and plans for a Mac and Linux launch are in the works. Shards Online will be distributed digitally and we are strongly considering using an established platform like Steam. When you purchase the game, you will be able to play on player run clusters and run a single ‘shard’ with no additional cost or subscription fees. Upon purchasing the game, you will also receive a 30 day optional subscription in addition to the weeks given by your reward tier that provides access to the official Citadel Clusters. These are massive clusters running official rule-sets with real customer support, live events, and early access to new content. In addition to the official Citadel Clusters, players will be able to run their own servers by signing up for a cluster server that is hosted by Citadel Studios. We only intend to charge just enough to cover our costs. These clusters, when marked public, will be listed in-game for all players to see and join. Ultimately, we aren't just creating game that fosters a player community, instead, we are giving our players the tools to create their own in-game communities.
