Sherwood Dungeon celebrates sixth anniversary (Massively)
Sherwood Dungeon, the long-running browser-based MMORPG from Maid Marian Entertainment, is celebrating its sixth anniversary this week with a new quest series called Prophecy of Bane. The fantasy title features a number of unique features that set it apart from other genre games, including twitch-based reaction skills, minimal leveling, and liberal use of player feedback to determine the course of updates.
"Sherwood started out as a hobby while I worked in the console games industry, and grew organically. It's been a game that's in constant development while it's live," said Gene Endrody, game designer and Maid Marian founder. "Originally players came back just to see what I had added and this created an interesting player culture because their feedback affected my choices."
The game, which doesn't require a login, sign-up process, or monthly fee, has been a labor of love for Endrody, and has attracted more than a million unique monthly visitors.
