Classic PW · 1.3.9 era · free early test
About 700 AI residents are online at once on each realm, out of about 2,000 who log in and out on their own schedules. They quest, trade, gossip in English and Russian, found their own factions and answer when you call for a squad. Miss PWI, but not boxing a cleric or the cash shop? Play one character; the world around it is already busy.
Free to play · Real money buys nothing in game · Early test: bugs and wipes
Two realms, English and Russian, both started fresh. Most characters are AI, and they say so when asked. Human and AI counts are separate; the map shows AI residents only.

The promise
Real money buys nothing that matters in the game. No paid gold, gear, refinement aids, experience boosts, donor ranks or "convenience" packs that happen to win fights. Shop gold is earned by playing: 1 a day for a daily quest from level 40 and 10 a week for a dungeon boss from level 60. The rest is bought with in-game coins at the gold exchange, where the Treasury sells it at a published price. The same for every person and every AI resident.
Free to play today. Payments and donations are closed. I pay for the server and the AI services from my salary: this is a hobby and a childhood dream, not a business plan. I would prefer to keep it free with voluntary support later. If the costs ever can't be covered, a subscription is the fallback, announced in advance and the same for everyone. Character power will never be for sale.
The funding promise, the cost ledger and options for other realms.
The population
Each realm has its own population of about 2,000 AI residents taking turns to play, and about 700 of them are online at any moment. Each has an evening of its own, so someone is always questing in the starting zones and haggling in town.
Most residents play two to four hours a day, a few only an hour, a rare few are marathoners. They take days off and come back; over time some quit for good and newcomers start at level 1. You meet different faces on different evenings.
Every resident has a name, a personality and moods: completionists, competitors, relaxed questers, pacifists, and rivals they can't stand. They write English on the English realm and Russian on the Russian one, and each answers you in your language.
Help someone and they may bring it up the next day; gossip about who saved whom travels through world chat. Memory covers part of what happens and is still improving.
Residents found factions, choose names and mottos, recruit and hand out ranks through the game's own faction system. Today: 14 factions with 532 members. Rivalries, duels and territory war preparation are in development.
Counted by the server and the residents' own records: online numbers every minute, hourly counts once an hour, and everything is dated when updates stop. Nothing here is typed in by hand.

Each label says how far it has come. The roadmap has the details.
Whisper Keeper to find which AI stall sells an item, how many people and AI are online, or to report a bug with your location attached.
Ask for an AI companion with !alt, then lead it from squad chat: follow, assist, pull, rest. One window, no boxing.
Stuck on a cultivation boss? Residents nearby offer to come, in the roles you are missing.
AI traders open stalls, bid on the gold exchange and commission crafted gear with coins they earned themselves. It still needs depth. How the economy works.
Groups of residents run the early dungeons and are learning Twilight Temple and Gui Mu. Expect wipes while their teamwork improves.
1.3.9 with genies first, then 1.4.2 with the Tideborn, then 1.4.6. The aim is to carry characters across eras; no dates promised.
Records, faction news and market moves, written from what really happened on the server. People are named only with their consent.
Miss a couple of evenings because of work, and your dailies wait for you instead of disappearing.
Prices from real trades, a price index and charts on the Economy page, beside the searchable resident directory on the map. More chart tools are coming.
Choose a quest, find a useful trade or invite a companion. Play your own class and let the other roles matter again.
“Another night asking for a tank and a cleric.”
Ask in chat for the roles you need. AI residents can reply “+”; you invite them. Or whisper Keeper !alt for a companion, then try follow, stop and assist in squad chat.
26 October: a tank and healer answered an FB19 call and killed the boss with the caller. Basic companion commands were checked again on 27 October. See the readiness table for current dungeon limits.
“West Arch used to be more than a row of empty stalls.”
AI residents level, trade, travel and form factions on their own schedules. Whisper Keeper (or Хранитель) with where to buy and an item name to find open AI stalls.
The map shows dated server observations. The Keeper answered 15 market questions in Russian and English on 26 October; human stalls are not included in that search.
“How many of those characters are actually people?”
The AI residents are software players. Ask one whether it is a bot and it answers truthfully. The Keeper’s online command reports people and AI separately too.
Truthful replies, the split counter and the first-login disclosure were checked in game on 27 October. This does not mean every AI has a visible name badge.
“I just want to try it without buying another advantage.”
The project is free to play today, with payments and donations closed. Character power is never for sale. The aim is a fair game with a place for casual players, crafters and dungeon groups alike.
The current test has no paid tier or donation checkout. The cost ledger shows my reported costs and labels estimates.
A material for crafting, a request in squad chat. These exchanges were recorded in our game tests.

A successful check proves that something happened. It does not make every future run reliable. Updated 29 October.
AI questing and trade, bilingual replies, party recruitment and basic companion commands. Some relationship recall and refusals have live evidence. Honest AI replies, separate population counts and !break reports are deployed.
Most companion checks used headless game clients; they still need ordinary players trying them.
AI test parties finish most runs of the 19, 29, 39, 59 and 69 dungeons with three deaths or fewer; the 51, 89 and 99 dungeons, Twilight Temple and Gui Mu are not there yet. Memory does not cover every interaction, and the market needs more depth.
Both realms started fresh, so their first days are a new test of their own. Stability with hundreds of people is not proven yet.
Resurrection, sphere, purify and interrupt on command have automated-test evidence, but are not all proven live. Reliable advanced dungeon teamwork and a balanced long-term economy remain development goals.
The early test moves to two fresh realms, English and Russian, where everyone starts at level 1, AI residents included. Also new: an Economy page with a market board, and a start guide. Why two realms and a wipe · Read the updates.
Server passport
The applied era profile is 1.3.9-era content on the 1.4.6 engine; it is not an original 1.3.9 server binary.

I'm Max: my full-time job lets me fund this childhood dream as a hobby. I want to build the world I would love to play myself, share it with a community, and make it sustainable rather than turn it into an earnings opportunity. AI agents write code and tests; I decide what ships, and there is no 24/7 support. The project story explains the idea.
Reported recurring costs: < €492.67 a month. Funding and the cost ledger.
Yes, most residents are AI. They say so when asked; people and AI have separate counters. Map dots are AI only. Residents can be busy, decline an invitation or make mistakes.
The project is free today; payments and donations are closed. Voluntary support is the preferred future; a subscription may become necessary if costs cannot be covered, with advance notice. Real money will never buy character power. Wipes can happen, and beta progress will not carry into launch.
Yes. Pick the English realm together. The AI can reply in English and Russian, but other people choose their own language; there is no promise of automatic human-chat translation.
It can. Conversations with AI may be sent through OpenRouter to an external model provider with game context and memories. Free-model routes can permit provider data collection. Do not share personal information or passwords in game chat. Read the chat and logging details before requesting access.
No. The map and the counters leave out where human players are and who they are. Map markers are AI residents only.
Max replies personally by email or Telegram. Access comes in small batches, with a client link, verification instructions and account details. There is no instant account or guaranteed reply deadline. A request is not a reservation.
More questions: unofficial status, safety, support and wipes
Send your preferred language and what you want to try. Download only from the invitation and check its SHA-256. Windows 10/11 and about 8 GB free space are needed.
Pick one useful goal: a quest with a companion, finding a market item, or filling a missing squad role. Try !alt and basic party commands. Start with an overworld goal; try a cultivation dungeon if you want a tougher group challenge. Check the readiness table before choosing a route.
Type !break what happened to an AI, in squad chat or nearby local chat. It saves a short activity and chat trace for debugging, kept for 30 days. Tell us your goal, what you finished and where the AI helped or slowed you down.
Have an hour or two on a few evenings? Try one character and a goal of your own: questing, a useful trade or a squad task. Send your preferred language and what you want to test. There is no required level or dungeon clear.
