Scars of Honor is a new MMORPG that strongly resembles WoW. It focuses on story, quests, and the battle between two factions. Currently, an alpha is running under an NDA – so nothing can be shown. However, we at MeinMMO have received exclusive images.
What kind of game is this? Scars of Honor will be a classic MMORPG with tab-targeting. At launch, you will have the choice of eight different races, of which four play on the side of the “Sacred Order” (blue), while the other four races belong to the “Domination” (red).
- You create a character, choosing from 10 different classes and various races like humans, dwarves, orcs, and undead.
- You will level this character from level 1 to level 50.
- There are supposed to be dungeons that scale with you already during the leveling process. In the endgame, dungeons and especially raids are expected to play an important role.
- There will be crafting and player housing.
- PvP will be available in the open world between the two factions. In addition, arena PvP and guild battles are planned.
- The community is supposed to have a lot of say in the development.
Scars of Honor is set to be a free-to-play MMORPG funded through a shop. However, the developers emphasize that this will be free of gameplay advantages, such as additional bank or inventory slots, and above all free of pay-to-win.
Where does the game currently stand? Currently, an alpha test is taking place, which can only be attended by those who have financially supported the game. However, this test is under a confidentiality agreement, so no content can be shown.
However, we have exclusively received a series of images in Europe. In these, you can see the starting area of humans, the undead, the crafting interface, and the quest interface. All images are still from an early stage of the game.
Princess uses dark magic and deceives her kingdom
What do we know about the game’s background? In line with the new alpha test, the developers have also shared a video about the lore background of Scars of Honor. The focus is on a princess who became lost in dark magic and was long thought to be missing.
Over time, she transformed into an undead, but received an amulet from the demons that allowed her to deceive the gazes of humans and transform into one of them. Thus, she was proclaimed the rightful ruler.
She sent away all her doubters and best warriors, and then took the city with her undead. The humans, in turn, had to seek a new home.

What makes the game interesting? Basically, Scars of Honor promises no revolution in MMORPGs. However, the focus is clearly set on group content and brings back the “old feeling”.
Another important aspect is community input. For instance, players have demanded open PvP, which was not originally their plan. However, now the two factions can also fight in the areas, similar to how it is on PvP servers in WoW.
Additionally, Scars of Honor does not rely on a subscription model, making it interesting for players who want to spend little money.
