With arguably the most extraordinary character editor, Chimeraland once drew many players into the game on Steam, but now the servers are shutting down.
What kind of game was Chimeraland? Chimeraland aimed to be a Free2Play MMORPG where you play as a crazy beast creature as your character. The character editor allowed for a lot of freedom, resulting in the creation of very beautiful as well as very ugly creatures.
Besides the character editor, the game sounded like a standard MMORPG, with classic features such as a main quest that tells the story, an open game world without loading screens, and a classless system where armor and weapons define the play style.

The servers are shutting down for no reason, although there were many
Why are the servers shutting down? Officially, there is no explanation for the server shutdown. A look at Steam reveals, however, that the game was not well received. Few updates, outdated graphics, and an unfinished game annoyed most players in the Steam reviews.
How many players were playing the MMORPG recently? According to SteamDB, only about 100 people were simultaneously on the servers. While there is also a standalone client as well as mobile versions on iOS and Android, the trend of having few players is likely evident there as well. Since the game launched in 2021, player numbers have only declined.
Was there any message to the players? The social media platforms of the MMORPG have been deserted for months. There was no message to the players. The official site has now announced that the game will be shut down on March 31. As of now, no new accounts can be created for the game.
For the last players of the game, this message may have been anticipated. While this MMORPG comes to an end, a new one is trying to prove that it really exists: New MMORPG on Steam sounds too good to be true – Will prove that it is real
