Do you remember the MMORPG Flyff? The classic is being relaunched, and with a bit of luck, you can even play it in beta today.
What kind of game is it? Flyff was released in 2004 and was for many of you the first MMORPG. It immerses you in a colorful anime fantasy world where flying plays an important role. Flyff stands for “Fly for Fun”.
Essentially, Flyff is a fairly classic MMORPG. You explore the world, fight monsters, and improve your character. However, there are places that you can only reach by flying. You use brooms and other flying devices, such as flying skateboards, which quickly transport you from point A to point B.
It is even possible to fight monsters while flying, where you have to utilize your character’s skills. If you defeat a flying monster, you increase your flying level. This is independent of your regular player level and affects your flying abilities and aerial combat.
Flyff in a new guise for PC and mobile devices
What does the new version offer? Under Flyff Project M, a new version of the MMORPG is launching. It differs in the following ways from the regular version:
- You can play not only on PC but also on mobile devices.
- On PC, it is no longer necessary to install a client. You play the new Flyff like a browser game.
- The graphics have been slightly revised. The grass is denser, and you can see further into the distance.
- There are new flying monsters and additional playable areas.
- Older features like Power Dices, Kebaras Prison, and more are making a return.
- The UI has been overhauled, particularly regarding flying controls.
- There will now be regular events and updates.
When does it start? You can sign up for the closed beta on the Flyff website. If you are selected, you can start playing as early as today, December 15th. The developers state that there is currently no set date for when the beta will end. The test is expected to last as long as necessary.
Accordingly, there is currently no official launch date for Flyff Project M.
What will happen to the old version of Flyff? This version will continue to run. In the future, you will have the choice of which version you want to play.
