If you like your MMOs a little bit sandboxy, a little bit quirky, and 100% indie, then RedBedlam's upcoming title The Missing Ink might be right up your alley. The game puts players in control of a 3-D world which they can mold to their liking and also provides MMO mainstays such as combat, PvP, exploration, and more. The game is still in the alpha testing phase, so players should expect more than the occasional bug or glitch. But if you want to help an indie developer iron the kinks out of its Unity-based sandbox MMO, then just head on over to the game's official site to sign up. There's no selection process; just sign up, jump in, and shape the world.

Quirky and charming at the same time. I will have to give this one a shot.

Cute little game. They should look into making it browser based though.

@Tizmah It has both a browser client using Unity, and a downloadable version.

Got in but tried to go through the "explore" door. It said the zone was full and booted me. Now I can't even log into the game.

I got on to this last night, did the Tut then went to explore Medevil world, shortly after I picked up my first quest from Sir Wafflepants I got pvp'ed in the face.
Woke up in graveyard along with 30 other little 2d guys and got kicked off the server, have not been able to get back in since.
Buy hey it's Alpha and they did warn me so...
I like it though, keen to try crafting when they put it in.

First quest in the game: kill 5 of mob X. I don't really see where the uniqueness of the game is. I thought it was going to be like you could build in the world, but that appears to not be the case.

Go through the middle door, that's where you can build. Or do the tutorial on the left which explains that.

another unique thing about this is that you're hotbar is determined by 3 different wearables. left hand, right hand, and whatever you got strapped to your back. each can have up to 3 different abilities, so you can adjust and remix your "class" on the fly. quite nice. love that kind of flexibility.
