A few years back, a friend of mine got me into playing a new MMO. What he showed me was completely different from any other I had seen. It was the first roguelike I had played, and the level of complexity was astounding. Haven & Hearth, the Prequel to the free-to play Salem, was a game based off starting a new life in an unexplored world, full of discovery, danger, and a unique, artistic style uncomparable to any other game.
Salem is a delightful little game for Java users everywhere. Crafting is the name of the game here, as it is at the center of doing anything, and everything. Take on the role of a Pilgrim brought to a new world, and earn your place with nothing but what you can find yourself or earn from others.
The developers of the indie permadeath MMO, Salem, disappointed many today with the announcement of an upcoming server wipe accompanying the next update.
So many gamers gravitated toward Minecraft and Terraria; because of these games' crafting/creation elements. And the Minecraft-iness is one of the things that makes EverQuest Next so exciting.
In that spirit, MMO-Play presents a list of five MMOs for players who possess that creative spark.
