The Exiled

The Exiled (formerly known as Das Tal) was a full-loot PvP sandbox MMORPG from Munich-based indie studio Fairytale Distillery, set in an open desert battleground where players fought over resources, camps, and settlements with skillshot-based, free-aimed combat and friendly fire enabled. A classless character system let players craft equipment and build settlements to defend in large-scale sieges, with time-boxed server seasons that periodically reset the world. Despite a 2015 Kickstarter and a February 2017 Early Access launch, the game never built a large playerbase and shut down on August 23, 2022.
