The developers of The Quinfall have announced the full release of the MMORPG. However, alongside the excitement for the big update, there is also a lot of criticism from the players.
What kind of MMORPG is this? In early 2025, a new MMORPG named The Quinfall launched in Early Access on Steam. The developers aimed to engage players with grinding, a vast world, and many sandbox elements, including the option to freely build their own houses and bases.
The MMORPG consciously opted out of many activities typical of theme parks and focused more on a true challenge and social features. The Early Access period on Steam has been rather mixed, as the MMORPG currently holds a 47% positive rating with over 7,000 reviews, making it balanced
.
During the Early Access period, many of the significant issues, such as technology and the combat system, have gradually been improved. The latter now looks really good and is probably the most important change since the Early Access launch. Now the developers have announced the end of Early Access and the full release.

A release with consequences
What have the developers announced now? The developers of The Quinfall have set the full release date for their MMORPG on February 6th. Additionally, for the upcoming year, they plan new content such as new quests, an open PvP zone, terraforming, combat golems, sieges, airships, and balloons, as well as a wedding system.
However, the developers would like all players to initially experience the updates of the past year at the same level, which is why they will also wipe all player progress with the new update.
Players who have spent money on the game will receive part of their expenses back, depending on how long ago the purchases were made (Source: Discord). Those with parts of the “Ancient Armor” will get these back after the wipe, but the veterans are not pleased about it at all.
How are the veterans reacting to the wipe? Unlike the developers, the veterans generally view the wipe negatively. They claim on Reddit that the developers promised beforehand that there would be no wipes.
The fact that not everything will be returned to players for their character in real-money spending is also causing frustration among veterans. Player Drelkag also complains on Reddit: “They are deleting everything, and the cash shop coins that people bought at the beginning of the testing phase won’t even be fully refunded. What a scam.”
Indeed, according to the announced guidelines on Steam, players whose sales are older than 9 months will receive no refund at all. The developers state:
The refund of VCoins will occur gradually after the introduction, based on the original purchase date:
- 100% refund: All VCoins purchased within the last 3 months,
- 60% refund: All VCoins purchased 3 to 6 months ago,
- 20% refund: All VCoins purchased 6 to 9 months ago.
This structure was designed to provide all players with a fair and sustainable transition. […]
Announcement by the developers on Steam
The developers further explain explicitly that there will only be the announced refunds for VCoins and “Ancient Armor,” and that no further refunds will be carried out.
For new players, starting at a level where everyone is on the same level is surely a good incentive. At the same time, it is questionable whether the developers are being too harsh with the veterans who supported the development of their MMORPG over the past year. MeinMMO expert Karsten Scholz had no positive words for the launch of the MMORPG: 2025 will go down in history as one of the worst years for MMORPG fans
