Crowfall was a PvP MMORPG from ArtCraft, crowdfunded on Kickstarter in 2015 and directed by Shadowbane's J. Todd Coleman. It launched on July 6, 2021 as a buy-to-play game, and Monumental acquired it in December that year.
The hook was campaigns: separate worlds with their own rules that moved from spring to winter, with resources thinning and monsters growing stronger until the world ended for good. Only the Eternal Kingdoms, where players kept their housing, persisted. You combined a race, from centaurs to deer-folk, with an archetype, but guilds ran everything: crafters, gatherers and scheduled sieges of player-built keeps.
Solo players struggled: the starter world lasted until level 25 of 35 and, according to reviews, took over eight hours of repetitive quests. Monumental took the servers offline on November 22, 2022 to rework the game, and it has not returned.
