Hello everyone! We are proud to announce that the next Farwoods test period will begin on August 18th, 2026 at 8pm EDT. We have a huge amount of new content, features, and polish for you on an all-new client rewritten in Godot. Save the date, we hope to see you there!

What is Farwoods?

Farwoods is a “graphical MUD,” an older style of MMO that mixes sandbox game mechanics with a roleplay community to create an immersive living world inspired by Redwall. It’s similar to a big, always-running D&D game that people drop in and out of. We have been working on the game since 2020 and next month, we will be bringing it back for people to try out and help us test all the changes we’ve made.

Farwoods is designed as a prosocial game where other people’s characters are part of the experience, as opposed to the antisocial theme park MMO style where there is a set story in which you are the protagonist in a largely on-rails experience, and forming connections with anyone else playing the game is purely optional.

If the idea of creating characters to play in a fantasy, Redwall-inspired world of magic and intrigue excites you, come check us out!
