As 2025 comes to a close, we want to take a moment to reflect on a year that was both challenging and transformative for Pax Dei. Together with you, builders, adventurers, crafters, and explorers, we brought our game from Early Access all the way to its full release (1.0) in October.

This milestone represents more than a version number. It marks the beginning of a long-term journey for Pax Dei as a living MMO.

From Early Access to 1.0: A Landmark Shift

Early Access gave us invaluable insight into how you play, where the game shines, and where it needed to evolve. Throughout 2025, our focus was on stabilizing the game’s foundations, refining core systems, and preparing Pax Dei for a sustainable and expandable future.

A fresh start for everyone, bringing the era of wipes to an end.

Full availability on Steam and the Epic Games Store, inclusion in PC Game Pass, and support for GeForce Now.

Migration away from the original launcher to ensure long-term support and smoother patching.

System refinements heavily guided by community feedback gathered during the Early Access period.

We want to sincerely thank all Founders and early supporters who stood with us throughout pre-launch. Your feedback shaped the game more than you may realise.

2025 was also the year we clarified Pax Dei’s long-term structure. The game follows a buy-to-play model, with an optional subscription required only for players who wish to own plots of land.

Players who want to explore, craft, adventure, or play socially without owning land can continue to access the game fully without a subscription. To better support this playstyle, we introduced additional systems this year—such as Grace for Plots—to broaden how players can participate in the world.

We know monetization sparked discussion, and we appreciate the candid feedback that helped us refine both the model itself and how we communicate it. Transparency will remain a priority going forward.

With 1.0 released, we turned our attention to reinforcing the pillars that define Pax Dei:

Throughout 2025, we laid the groundwork for deeper economic systems, expanded clan features, improved worldbuilding tools, and the foundations for future conflict, cooperation, and progression systems. These areas will remain central as we move into 2026.

While we’re proud of the progress made, we also recognise where the player experience needs improvement. Over the year, you’ve shared concerns around progression pacing, mid-game engagement, update cadence, and expectations surrounding premium features.

We hear you. A large part of our 2026 roadmap focuses on smoothing progression, reducing grind barriers, improving social tools, enriching the mid-game experience, and delivering updates on a more predictable cadence. Clearer and more consistent communication will be a key part of that effort.

Pax Dei is at its best when the community is alive: villages bustling, clan projects rising, trading channels humming, shared adventures unfolding. The world thrives on collective effort, and we are continually inspired by the creativity, collaboration, and generosity players bring into the game.

We encourage you to keep connecting: build together, explore together, challenge one another, and help shape the world we are all creating.

To give you a bit of a heads-up, we’re currently working on a smaller update planned for early next year. Ongoing work for this release includes:

: When you achieve a very high success on a craft for an item with Item Power, the item will gain a permanent Item Power boost, and your name will be recorded as its master crafter.

: The Heartland Market view will be updated to allow you to purchase items listed from any market stall within your current valley. You’ll now be able to make purchases from any Market Stall, the Petra Dei, or a plot you own within the valley. This change applies only to purchasing; listing items for sale remains unchanged.

: A major balancing pass across all crafting recipes, adjusting how much XP each item grants.

: We are improving the clan menu and character stats sheet. These changes don’t yet include permissions, which many of you want and is a high-priority item on our to-do list.

: We’re adding a new set of emotes, along with facial expressions, to the emote wheel, to give your character more personality and emotional range.

: We’re actively profiling performance issues and aiming to significantly improve render performance during combat.

We enter the new year with a solid foundation and a long list of improvements, features, and expansions we’re excited to deliver. The world of Pax Dei is still young, and its future will be shaped by the players as much as by us.

Pax Dei – 2025 Developer Retrospective

 Greetings Paxians! As 2025 comes to a close, we want to take a moment to reflect on a year that was both challenging and transformative for Pax Dei. ...

With the launch of Pax Dei 1.0, the world began to change once more. As mentioned already, our dev team is hard at work on the next content update. Whispers from the frontier speak of new bonds being forged and old loyalties being tested. We wanted to give you a glimpse of what is coming before the end of the year. Let’s see what’s cooking! 

Verse 5 marks the beginning of the era of feudalism in Pax Dei. We’re starting with the core of this by allowing clans to capture land in Lyonesse, thereby providing them with the convenience of a base in this resource-rich environment. 

PvP will remain strictly opt-in. Yet, those who seek challenge may soon find new ways to make their presence known. Clans may be able to harbor both peaceful artisans and sworn warriors under the same banner, balancing cooperation and competition. 

Shrine.jpg

The new Sovereignty feature will allow a Clan leader to claim long-contested lands, namely the mysterious Lyonesse, through the restoration of Feudal Shrines.

Claiming a Shrine will open building rights in previously unbuildable areas, provide new travel and respawn options, and establish a visible presence on the world map through the heraldry of your House.

Ownership, however, comes with responsibility. Maintaining a Shrine will require steady upkeep, and neglect may see your claim fade back into the wilds. 

PvP map.png

Note: this picture is a work-in-progress mock-up for the Lyonesse map (based on the Ancien map). The feature will be Lyonesse only.

With construction extending into more dangerous provinces, doors, crafters, and other interactable items on these plots will require you have permission to the plot. Building a safe perimeter around the shrine in your control will be essential, and the gate will block others from entering, should you remember to close it.

Feudal 1.jpg

As the year draws to a close, winter-themed recipes and decorations are also in the works to bring warmth to the colder months.

Beyond the seasonal cheer, other additions are being prepared and will be introduced before the end of the year:

An increase in dungeon difficulty - more details on this point to come later.

TableWare_and_Candles_CosyRoom.png

Change is coming to Pax Dei, not as a single moment, but as a series of unfolding choices. Whether you seek dominion, community, or simple peace in your homestead, the age of Feudal Sovereignty will test the bonds that hold the world together.

We’ll provide more details on the next content update and the schedule as soon as we’re ready to deploy it to our Public Test Shard, Arcadia, for the adventurers who’d like to give it a go and test the new features before it gets to the live shards.

Verse 5 is on its way! (auf englisch)

Before sharing more details on the essential features of the upcoming Verse 5, we wanted to let you know about some of the smaller (but essential!) features and fixes we are also working on:

Adding party members' visibility on the compass

Adding Gold round-robin to party members by default

[Unsupported inline type: unordered-list]

Changing Weapon cooldown so the 20-second cooldown only triggers when appropriate.

Adding slash commands for switching chat channels, inviting and managing members of parties and Clans, as well as performing emotes.

Making some crafting components slightly faster to craft at first and very fast to craft as you approach mastery in their recipes.

Making some plants larger so they can be better spotted (Strawberries, Blueberries, Cotton, and more).

Update all NPC and Animal loot tables, fixing a lot of loot drops and replacing old common drops. Also, updates to hide drops from skinning.

Update the Hunters’ Blessing to yield bonus raw materials, such as Antlers, Wool, etc.

New building pieces, decorations, and signs.

Balancing XP modifiers of recipes to encourage crafters to craft a variety of recipes when leveling.

Update to all mining and woodcutting yields.

Combat balance passes for equipment, spells, and NPC encounters.

Ability to repair equipment at multiple crafting benches.

All this should be part of the upcoming content update(s) and be in-game before the end of the year. The list is obviously not exhaustive. More details will be shared at a later date.

Interview with the devs on the future of Pax Dei (auf englisch)

 Hello Paxians, Our COO, Sulka, and our Design Director, Pétur, sat down last week to discuss the journey of Pax Dei with Eltarii, the Professional Ga...

We recently celebrated one year of early access for Pax Dei and wanted to provide an update on where we come from, where we’re at, and what’s coming.

Pax Dei has been long in the coming. The idea for the game started brewing in the minds of a few of the Mainframe founders 20 years ago. The core of the game was clear already back then: making an open sandbox world inspired by medieval myths, driven by players in a fully open economy. The first challenge was that what didn’t exist back then was a game engine capable of running the game as envisioned, with visuals grounded in the real world but made larger than life, so one would yearn to live in the world of Pax Dei with a sense of wonder. The second challenge for MMOs has historically been the server-side capabilities needed to run a game with thousands of players. The requirements of MMOs are enormous compared to other games, and the game as envisioned just would not have been possible 20 years ago.

In 2019, we decided it was time and founded a company to make the game real. What had changed was that the Unreal Engine render engine was now very mature and could cater for the style of visuals we wanted, and server compute & Internet bandwidth was now on a level that could be used to run the game. As with most game projects, it took about a year to get a team together, so the preproduction effort for Pax Dei began in earnest in 2020, with us working on designs and developing technical solutions to drive the MMO backend needed on top of Unreal. Another piece of technology we put a significant emphasis on was the world generation pipeline, to enable our relatively small world team to build a game world hundreds of square kilometers in size.

With the player community being the core of the game - all the really interesting things in Pax Dei are intended to be a result of emergent player actions - we started to hit a point in 2023 where developing the game was becoming hard without having the players deeply involved. The Mainframe team has quite a few people who have both worked on MMOs and played them extensively, and we’re very firmly in the camp that believes the player community is what makes MMOs interesting. That, in turn, means we believe developing the game without involving the players from early stages of development won’t result in the best possible MMO, so we wanted to get people on board even knowing the game wasn’t “done” yet, which, in many ways, MMOs never are. As communities form in a game, they shape the game through interaction with the developer, feeding a cycle of adding new gameplay to keep games fresh and interesting.

Given we were far from even Early Access at that point, we opted to start running larger playtests inside a closed beta and collecting feedback from the closed community instead of launching the game in public. This worked fabulous and we made considerable strides in improving the game, but even this started to run out of scale for some of the systems, as having a few hundred people in the game was a far cry from the 8000 players we supported for each world instance at the time, so we decided to launch the game in Early Access.

At this point, we had a building system that showed great promise, an intentionally simple combat system with a variety of PvE content ranging from simple ruins to larger dungeons, a vast, beautiful world for everyone to explore and the beginnings of a PvP system. The game was, and still mostly is, balanced so that it’s highly beneficial to cooperate with other players, which had worked well in the testing, but we wanted to get more insight on how this plays out with a larger group of players.

Alpha.jpg

Enter June 2024 - the game launches in Early Access, and our real learning begins.

At this point, we were very excited and had a ton of plans for what we wanted to put into the game next, which, as you know, got published as a roadmap. In hindsight, we should have been clearer at that point about wanting to change the plans according to feedback from the community and the roadmap as published at that point was a 100% full booking from the team with relatively little booking for changes from all of you, which obviously started flooding soon after.

As you know, the first weeks were pretty rough. We discovered several issues that hadn’t been uncovered in earlier tests, despite those being pretty big. So, in the first month, the team was in firefighter mode and literally fixed more than 100 bugs a week, primarily based on reports from the players. While the fixing was ongoing, we were also collecting feedback from new players and reflecting the roadmap we had for the game against the feedback. And by reading all the feedback, it was evident that the first major update post-launch would have to focus on improving pretty much all areas of the game instead of adding significant new features.

The first update, Proving Grounds, included pretty massive changes to the world and progression. We’d underestimated the amount of time people would play the game alone, even if in a clan. So we restructured the PvE sites and added a significant amount of soloable and small group PvE content into the Heartlands. The combat system got extensive changes on the locomotion to stop the game from feeling like the combat was fighting your controls, which hugely improved the overall feel in combat. Literally everything was rebalanced, aiming to make crafting less grindy. Many locations in the world were found that could be blocked out in unintended ways, which were adjusted, and a lot of roads were added. A load of usability issues were fixed. Last but not least, we made significant changes to the building system to improve performance, where the towns and cities that all of you were building turned out to be a lot bigger than anyone had anticipated.

Proving Grounds.jpg

While most of the team was focusing on the Big Fix Update, we were working on two initiatives that saw the light of day later in the fall of 2024.

A huge patch updated the game to use Discord as the underlying tech for chat. Using their tech, we added a load of critical features into the game - friend list, DMs to friends and better public text channels, as well as prepped the game for more features like voice chat. Great communication tools are essential inside an MMO, and this was a big step toward improving them. Chat is also a good example of a feature we all take for granted in MMOs, and due to it being a prominent feature, we never really consider how much effort it takes to implement it well. For smaller developers, these must-haves can end up consuming a large portion of the team time, as no ready-to-use solutions exist for almost anything one needs in games.

Discord 12825.png

The second big thing to land was the Market Square patch, which added the Gold currency and marketplaces you can build onto your plots. The market is a crucial piece of the puzzle for making the game economy interesting, and while we’d know this to be the case, many of you reminded us of this in a flood of feedback for this not being in the game before the update.

We added to Verse 2 in January by introducing another critical component of the game economy loop - Grace and Miracles. You get Grace by sacrificing Gold, which allows for a variety of non-combat spells to be cast, enabling Gold to have value. We originally intended to launch Grace and Markets at the same time, but the plan changed as we were implementing the two and discovered how hard it was to create a full-blown technical solution that works for an MMO. We deemed the markets inherently valuable and pushed them out early, with a plan to follow with Grace as soon as we could, which we did.

The Market Square update triggered a flurry of feedback. One of the biggest gripes you all had was the distributed nature of the markets. While building a stall on your plot was deemed great, running around a valley to find deals was considered too much effort, resulting in overall poor experience. We already had a design to address this, so based on the feedback this was prioritised as an important improvement.

The update in March added the ability to browse all the markets in the world area you were in at the time. While working on this, we also decided to improve the navigability of the world. The game earlier had a wind feature where you could mark a spot in the map and then press a key to get wind to blow in the direction of the marker, but this was both unknown to a lot of players and worked poorly in many world areas, so it didn’t actually help navigation very much. The replacement for the wind was a compass in the HUD, with indicators for your plots and other nearby points of interest, along with a marker to a market picked in the remote browsing, making the process of navigation a lot easier.

Markets.png

The update also added a bunch of building content, using a mix of ideas from our Discord community and our designs. We also added voice chat that had been requested by many players and automated the selection of harvesting tools for wood chopping and mining.

The next major update - Path of the Adventurer - took until June to go out. We originally wanted this to release around a month earlier, but the QA & polish process for the release ended up taking a lot longer than expected. What happened here is as follows.

One of the biggest sources of feedback for the game had been the combat system, or lack thereof, as some of you would say. The game launched with a very simple combat model and this clearly did not meet the expectations of many of you. The first update after launch fixed combat locomotion issues, which helped a lot, but the big missing feature was still the ability to meaningfully form the MMO holy trinity groups, with some players specializing as healers, some tanking and some acting as DPS. This also meant there was a very specific tank mage set of armor that was the most optimal for playing Pax Dei, which devalued a lot of the game progression and made it a lot less interesting than any of us wanted. The combat team decided to address this for real and started the combat system revamp already in November.

The work ended up taking six months, with a lot of the combat being essentially reimplemented. The changes are too numerous to list here, but with the new combat system and gear progression, we now have a much deeper, more interesting progression for combat, with the specialized roles the player community had been asking for.

At the same time, we had listened and learned quite a bit about how the world worked for a variety of things, from resource gathering to travel and PvE to population density. The world team decided to put these learnings into practice and make sweeping changes into the world. This meant increasing the amount of buildable area in the game to increase the population count of a world to 14,000 players, adding crafters around the Petrae Dei to make new player life and travel easier and redesigning the biome setup in the world to make the resources found in each biome more distinct.

Path of the adventurer.png

This, of course, came with another massive balancing pass on the crafting to match the new biomes, but also to address another pain point from the community. While it was great that the crafting had co-dependencies between professions, we had implemented this in a manner where it was hard to progress in any of the professions without progressing in all of them. This was a massive undertaking for any player and not really what we wanted, where the intent had always been that you could progress in a profession as a master and not need to spend time in all professions. Verse 3 - Path of the Adventurer saw huge changes in this, for the better.

Our original plan was to launch these as separate updates, but come spring and us starting to package Verse 3 to be releasable, we realized the complexity of version management for the changes effectively forced our hand into combining everything into one huge update - bigger than any of the prior updates - and getting this into properly playable state took a lot longer than we expected.

This is pretty much where we’re at with the public updates at the time of writing this. We ended up making a huge amount of progress and changes during Early Access have improved the game significantly compared to a year ago. We did end up implementing a lot of things we’d talked about, but also as it happens, the changes we made based on learnings and feedback ended up eating a lot of our time, so not everything we thought of a year ago ended up making it into the game.

Having said that, let’s talk about what we think we’d like to do in the future.

Pax Dei is intended to be a living, breathing beast nurtured by both us at Mainframe and you, the players. Our job is to funnel a mix of our and your ideas into the game to make it as good as possible and ensure you have a great time playing and enjoying the company of everyone in the Pax Dei community. As such, we don’t foresee a future where we stop adding features and content into the game - the upcoming 1.0 moment is not the end of this continuous evolution of Pax Dei.

The big theme of what we’re planning to do next is the societies in the game. This entails organizing as groups beyond clans, both for your benefit but also for the purposes of conflict. In practical terms, we’re finally working on expanding the conflict and PVP in the form of the Feudal system and looking at adding a deeper social layer to the Grace mechanics. The main focus of development for the rest of the year is planned to be in this area. Our intent and goal is that, quite soon, each of you will not only belong to a clan, but also to other larger player-driven organizations that have influence in how the game plays.

While those systems form the basis for our work, we’ll also continue to work on items we’re hearing from the community. The social layers we’re looking at strongly synergize with finally improving the permissioning, both for clans and plots. We’re reading all your feedback on the crafting systems, and we’re indeed grinding our way through the balancing to improve the crafting experience and to make some of the less developed professions better. As an example, work is underway to make the foods and potions a lot more interesting, with a more diverse range of buffs. We’ll also definitely look into everything that touches the economy, from markets to loot, as it all ties strongly into how the game works as a social sandbox.

The next update of the game will start by setting the stage for what's to come. The old Lyonesse will be gone and replaced by a new, much larger Lyonesse, the same size as the other Provinces, which will be needed for the gameplay we’ll be introducing in updates as the year progresses. As a first taster, there will be two new resources exclusively available from Lyonesse, which will enable a new Enchanting feature tied to Alchemy and Jewelcrafting. After refining the resources with the two professions, you can manufacture consumables that permanently boost the Item Power of enchanted items. There are rumors that Cultists in the area are also interested in the resources, so keep an eye out for the gatherers and collectors in the area.

image (59).png

As an aside, one reason we’ve been changing the inventory icon symbols recently is the work related to showing the Enchantment status of items in the icon. The other related feature that needs a place in the icons is Master Crafting, where the design intent is that, in the future, any item with Item Power that gets crafted with a near 100% success rate will get an additional Item Power boost and Master Crafted label.

The rationale for these changes to Lyonesse is twofold. Firstly, with unique resources in Lyonesse, we wanted to tune the risk-reward for playing in Lyonesse. Especially with some of the harvesting being tied to PvE, the additional risk of PvP meant we wanted to make it easier to slip into Lyonesse, get some goods and slip out undetected, as the number of people playing in Lyonesse is expected to grow quite a bit.

Secondly, we don’t yet have an ETA for the other features we’re working on for Lyonesse, but we intend to add Trade Towns where you’ll bid gold to get hold of a plot safe from PvP, as well as PvP battling over controlling towers and their associated areas to build a home in Lyonesse. As mentioned above, this requires space in the world area.

The features in Lyonesse will be built on top of a foundational Feudal System. This is a new system that will allow the formation of PvP alliances, which will influence the PvP flagging in Lyonesse. We are also looking at connecting the alliances into a dominion system that will allow taxation of the player markets based on a set of rules on which properties the alliance controls in the world.

Last but not least, we’re looking at introducing Parishes. On a high level, this will mean the ability to create an altar that forms a parish, to which other players can join. As players in a parish earn grace, Priests and other members of the Parish who are in a position of power will gain a Grace kickback. This system will come with Miracles that are very expensive and effectively only available to the players in a position of power, with some tied into enabling actions for the Feudal alliances.

With all that said, thanks for reading until the end. We’ll be releasing more details on all of the above as things get closer to release.

Pax Dei - The journey so far (auf englisch)

 Hello Paxians, We recently celebrated one year of early access for Pax Dei and wanted to provide an update on where we come from, where we’re at, and...

As mentioned previously, a new content update is coming this summer. Our current target deployment date is August 6. For this maintenance, we’re expecting a downtime of 1 hour, starting at 

This minor content update is a continuation of Verse 3, in which we’re introducing quite a few changes to enhance your gaming experience. Let’s deep dive into what’s coming.

We’re making updates to the UI, including the Journal, so that it displays recipes more effectively and smoothly, as well as the Plot window and item tooltips. It is still a work in progress, but most are here.

Journal UI.jpg

Market.jpg

Plot new UI.jpg

We’re adding a personal storage at the Petrae Dei to complete the crafters already implemented with the previous patch. Each Petra Dei will have its own storage, serving as a private storage space for each player. Each Petra Dei storage unit starts with 20 slots and can be expanded to a maximum of 80 slots, with some Grace offerings.

Petra Dei Inv.jpg

We’re making visual updates to what we call the “Cosmos”. For example, you’ll be able to see new biome atmospherics and color grading. There will also be a new multilayered cloud system. We’re also improving the lighting in previously overly dark areas such as caves, forests and building interiors.

We’re now adding public permissions to market stalls. When a market stall owner cancels a sell order from another player, the items are returned to the redeeming queue of the owner of the sell order instead of to the inventory of the market stall owner.

The new notification system introduces several global improvements to enhance user experience and ensure clarity. Notifications are now consistently placed based on their type, always appearing on top without overlapping critical information. The updated menu aligns with the latest UX framework for a more streamlined interface. For default notifications, interactivity has been added to improve the discoverability of new content. To minimize clutter, notifications are now sequenced so that only one appears at a time, and similar types are grouped into a single message to prevent spamming. Pickup notifications have also been optimized, allowing a maximum of three to appear on screen simultaneously, reducing overlap. Additionally, both crafting/harvesting and combat skill notifications now feature improved and consistent tracking of XP progression, providing users with clearer feedback on their development.

This patch also presents a good opportunity for the team to implement several bug fixes. All details will be included in the patch notes, which will be published on the deployment day. 

, all Early Access players already benefit from the Premium Status, and this hasn’t changed. What’s new with this update is that these Premium bonuses are now explicitly visible and active in-game, allowing you to clearly see and feel the advantages while playing.

The XP rates themselves remain unchanged, as the original Early Access progression was already balanced with Premium Status in mind. However, we’ve taken this opportunity to increase the Grace bonuses, so you will notice a tangible improvement in Grace income after the patch.

NB: As with all things during Early Access, these values may evolve based on feedback and gameplay data.

Improved the Notifications UI with a new notifications system.

Players will now get an icon update notifying them they received a new Redeeming Queue item.

Added button prompt to HUD on how to access the miracles menu.

When XP is gained, a new progression bar is shown on screen.

Added search bar to the building menu recipes.

Icons preview is now shown when hovering over items in Construction Menu.

Fixed some issues where the text was offset or cut off.

Fixed an issue that prevented item icons from displaying on the Market Stall.

Fixed an issue where the miracle radial menu button referring to the Grace menu was not interactable by LMB.

Fixed an issue where plot outlines were not displayed correctly after having multiple plots joined together.

Fixed an issue where the [E] Split key in the Split Stack window was non-functional when using the keyboard.

Fixed an issue where Chat settings would become unresponsive if the Player tried to access them from "General" chat.

Fixed an issue where some items were only shown as an ingredient in the journal and not as a recipe.

Fixed an issue where clicking on an ingredient in a recipe would not open the ingredient's description.

When sell orders are cancelled from market stalls other than the owner, the items from the cancelled sell order are added to the owner's Redeeming Queue.
