What was Chronicles of Elyria? The MMORPG by Soulbound Studios was a very ambitious sandbox online role-playing game that aimed to provide you with a virtual life in a huge online world. You should even be able to establish a dynasty. A lot of adventures awaited you through which you would have written your own story.
- It would have been possible to explore a large sandbox world where you could have built your own empire.
- Whether you became a rich merchant, a powerful blacksmith, the ruler of a city, or a famous adventurer would have been up to you.
- Your hero would have aged and eventually died. Therefore, it would have been necessary to provide for a successor.
- Your diet was supposed to matter because if you became overweight, it would have affected your hero.
- Roleplaying was meant to be an important aspect. You would really have to embody your hero in the game.

What was special about the game? Your hero was supposed to die at some point, and you would have had to provide for a successor to continue your empire. The successor was to inherit some traits from their ancestor but also be an independent character.

The team is currently still working on CoE on a voluntary basis. How the development proceeds is currently unclear.
