Dawntide's beta server is officially closed for business. As we told you earlier this month, indie studio Working as Intended has decided to suspend the fantasy sandbox's open beta phase in order to focus on a large-scale gameworld revamp.

WAI says that the servers will be offline "for a period of one to two months," and the company intends to keep players posted via weekly news updates and screenshots of the work in progress.

Dawntide is a non-linear open-world title featuring skill-based advancement and a deep crafting system. You can check out our first impressions of the beta client via Some Assembly Required.

They will be back. The game offers something no current game has. There will be world building and pvp. Hurry back guys.

"There will be world building and pvp"

Translation: "There will be some world building and then world destroying, driving the world builders to another game."

LOL.

There is a game for them, Xsyon. They can build and no one can tear it down. I am excited about having a reason to build walls and a reason to pvp and so are a lot of my friends. It's not for everyone but we need a game too.
