The new MMORPG Tarisland is set to release on June 21. However, the release will be quite different from ordinary MMORPGs.
How will the release take place? The release of Tarisland will occur on June 21, 2024. However, you shouldn’t take vacation time right away, as the release of the game will extend over a week.
Starting from June 21, the maximum level will increase every day (via Discord) and the main story will continue. Specifically, on the first day, you can only level up to level 20, which, according to MeinMMO author Cedric, took about 60–90 minutes during the last test. After that, you cannot level up any further for the day, and the story is also on pause.
The next day, it will continue. The maximum level will be raised to level 26, and the story will open a new chapter. For most players, this limitation may seem strange, but there is a brilliant plan behind it.

3-hour bites instead of 12-hour grind
What is this plan? Instead of offering players a boring leveling phase before reaching the endgame (via Discord), Tarisland wants to make the leveling process fun. To do this, the developers divide their game into about 3-hour sessions that you can complete each day. “The level cap teaches impatient people to enjoy the game as they should,” writes Senior Moderator Austrem on Discord.
Once you have completed the story and reached the maximum level for the day, it’s far from over. Each day you can participate in dungeons in “Normal” and “Elite Mode” or even raids where you will obtain gear. You will need this gear the next day to tackle the new dungeons and raids.
Once you are done with dungeons and raids, it is best to complete the day’s reputation events. Reputation in Tarisland offers many advantages, such as faster movement speed in the respective open world. Additionally, there will be more events every day that provide you with tokens and currency to improve your character in the long run.
You should also engage in gathering, crafting, and exploring during the “waiting time”. With the items you collect, you will be well prepared for the next day. Tarisland also features recreational activities in the form of mini-games, as the developers demonstrated this week on x.com.
What if I finish everything on the first day? If you finish everything on the first day, the new MMORPG will have fresh content for everything the next day. With the daily story extension and maximum level increase, new collectible items, reputation, and open world events will also be unlocked.
Thus, the release extends over the entire first week before everyone reaches the maximum level together. For hardcore players who had already planned to push their character to the limit over the weekend, this release may be surprisingly different.
This also affects the player base since everyone stays on the same level; the laid-back “casual players” won’t be left behind and can continue to stay engaged. One aspect that makes Tarisland a bit different from the model WoW, and has drawn criticism, is: The WoW alternative Tarisland handles skins differently from its predecessor and faces criticism for it
