Life is Feudal: MMO is a large-scale group-focused RPG, that places players in a highly realistic, zero-magic, medieval world where danger lurks around every corner. It's up to players to work together to find resources, craft tools and team up to build a fully functioning feudal society in an unforgiving archaic world. Players may find a place in society as a vassal, a knight, a farmer or even royalty, as their guild builds and expands their medieval societies.

While players may start their adventure in Life is Feudal: MMO alone, as they gather and craft supplies needed to make it to the next day, they will quickly meet up with others to form groups, then guilds, and finally work their way up to complete medieval societies and nation-states. Life is Feudal: MMO is a realistic social experience, where the best way to thrive in the world is to work together and build a fully functioning society, where everyone has a place, from the most basic hunters and gatherers, to farmers, soldiers and civic leaders. There's a place for everyone in Life is Feudal: MMO, and a world ready for them to explore!

As the final stretch of development for Life is Feudal: MMO approaches, developer Bitbox is launching one last Closed Beta Test (CBT) today. Closed Beta #5 offers players a chance to not only explore the game, but experience an immersive medieval world unlike any other - one free of high-fantasy, and focused on players working together to create functional feudal societies.

CBT #5 introduces an overhauled Battle System where guilds can settle rivalries in often brutal and bloody combat. Guilds will need to issue a direct challenge to one another, and then face off, winning only by either eliminating all the opposing forces, or taking and holding "the hill." To the victor go the spoils - with the winning side keeping all the equipment the enemy team has left on the battlefield after their ignominious defeat. The Battle System update also introduces new battle formations and commands, for more realistic inter-guild warfare!

Key Features:

• Terraforming & Construction: deform terrain - Dig tunnels, raise or level hills, and build structures like stone towers, castles and more.
• Battle formation system: Players can be grouped up into battle formations to fight better together and gain damage bonuses.
• Crafting: Create tools, weapons and more from resources found within the world.
• Realistic Player Damage: Combat damage depends on weapons used, armor worn, your character's current physical condition, etc.
• Full weather effects: There are five climate zones with distinct weather and length of seasons. Weather and climate have a real and meaningful impact. For example, trees grow better in colder temperatures and farming is best in warmer climate zones.
• Survival gameplay: Players must take into account things like hunger, blood loss, frostbite, and wild animals.
• Complex food and cooking system: Multiple ingredients when mixed with cooking skills create recipes to help keep players strong. Higher quality food equals better skill bonuses. It pays to keep a cooking master in the group, since their meals can provide bonuses to everyone.
• Double health and stamina bars: One HP bar measures physical health and the other consciousness. Lose all soft HP and you pass out, but lose all hard HP and you die. The Hard Stamina bar determines how long you can run long distance, while the Soft Bar measures sprinting and short duration activity.
• A huge persistent world: Explore a massive, no-loading screen world that spans 49 servers and would take several hours to cross on foot.
• Private property/land claims: Players and groups can lay claim to territory, which will protect it and buildings on it from random looters.
