Dawnburst is an MMO that values your skills and time. Every piece of gear you acquire has an aesthetic impact on your character, unlocks new skills, and every build you select has an impact. Enjoy the traditional "kill, loot, upgrade" cycle in a contemporary setting with easily accessible combat and extensive character customization. Select from distinct character archetypes, learn their skills, and create your own route through a world that is intended for both solitary exploration and cooperative challenges. At last, an MMO where players advance through gameplay rather than purchases.
