NoMoreOrbs is a text-based RPG game that can be played on various platforms, including Discord, Telegram, Twitch, and the web. The game is built using Go, Svelte, Postgres, and Docker. It’s an idle mmo game where you can play with your friends and other players. The game features a variety of classes, items, and quests to keep players engaged. Players can level up their characters, complete quests, and interact with other players in the game world.

In the current stage there are three base classes to choose from. After the initial selection you can’t change your class anymore but you can create a new character and have the possibility to play on multiple.

The base game idea is that you start on an island and farm resources, bosses, enemies and other things. After winning the fight against a boss you will climb one stage. The reason behind that is to get more XP, gold and other parts (multiplied by stage). When you begin, you’ll choose from three core classes. This choice is permanent for that character, but you’re welcome to create multiple characters and explore different playstyles.

The core gameplay loop revolves around starting on an island and gathering resources by farming, defeating enemies, and tackling bosses. Each boss conquered allows you to advance to the next stage, granting you increased rewards like XP, gold, and crafting components, scaled according to the stage’s difficulty.

As you progress, bosses and enemies become more formidable. To overcome these challenges, you’ll need to improve your stats by acquiring better equipment and leveling up your character.

Beyond combat, you can engage in Life Skilling activities like crafting valuable items, gathering food, and earning currency. Be mindful of your inventory and storage limits; these can be expanded later, though likely at a cost.

Enemies can drop equipment, with drop rates and quality scaling based on the enemy’s level, the current island, and your stage. As you progress, you’ll also need jewelry, which you can craft using resources obtained through mining.

Sustaining yourself in combat requires healing. There’s no passive health regeneration, encouraging players to actively fish or purchase healing items. To prepare your food, you’ll need wood acquired through woodcutting.

You can improve your Life Skill efficiency by progressing through the game, increasing your harvest speed and yield.

Eventually, you’ll want to participate in Raids to earn unique and powerful rewards.

Besides this, you also have a ton of stuff to do like: building your own house, trying to increase your guild level to get guild buildings, which will give you bonuses, but they are not free. You have to donate resources to get them - this means you have to get some players!
