Ether Fields
Ether Fields was announced as the first MMORPG to come out of Poland, set in a medieval fantasy realm deliberately congruent with the European Middle Ages, with a combat system based on third-edition Dungeons & Dragons rules. The game was planned to be downloadable and free-to-play upon release, but MMORPG.com's own directory now lists Ether Fields under its Cancelled Games section, confirming the project never reached a public launch.

MMO DNA

Third-edition D&D-influenced combat rules
Why you might like it
- As Poland's first announced MMORPG project, it's a notable footnote in the country's game development history.
- Its third-edition Dungeons & Dragons-influenced combat rules and medieval European setting were an unusual design choice for the era.
- The studio's continued work under the Gloria Victis name means the core concept ultimately reached a full commercial release.
Things to consider
- Ether Fields itself was discontinued before a full commercial release; its custom engine and original build are no longer accessible.
- Players interested in this concept should look at Gloria Victis directly, which is the released continuation of this project.
- Very little independent, contemporary coverage exists beyond a handful of alpha-era modding community posts.
