A sad Day to be sure, many friends and memories were made throughout this games lifespan. I will cherish the memories and comradery that was gained. Hopefully the codebase and work that went into this can be utilized in other aspects or in creation of a new game in the future.

Robert, Riley, Thank you both!
I’ve not been in Patreayl in a good while. Life caught up with me.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. You all were amazing, from the very beginning. I’ll never forget my times here, from being the first to find all of the chickens, to watching J sleep to rack up those hours in-game, to holding mage lessons, to Logan going absolutely insane as Warrior haha.
Good luck, much love, and maybe we’ll see you around!
Don’t know what happened to my original account. Oh well.

PLEASE try and fundraise, no other VR game has given me as many fond memories and I hate to see Orbus go. Orbus is something special, and I think it deserves at least a chance for it’s community to fight for it.

Orbus was one of the most fun and immersive games I’ve ever played. I remember when I first started playing, feeling like I was exploring a living world. Feeling so powerless every time I ventured out of Highsteppe. Feeling a sense of community when seeing groups of people talking to each other and getting excited when I saw another player way out in the middle of nowhere. I still vaguely remember the first times I did each of the dungeons.
I remember the first time someone carried me through a quest. I remember being an unsuspecting noob killing a sheep, only to be killed by the abomination that spawned afterward. I remember the first time I got power-leveled. I remember how I felt when I finished the witch’s quest and got a wand for the very first time. I remember my first adventure into the wilds, where I ended up closing the game out of panic. I remember the first time I killed someone out there too.
I remember trying and failing to find groups to farm those damn jester orbs, and I remember having 2 of them drop within 10 minutes of each other, much to my friend’s chagrin. I remember the first time I was confident enough to solo a dungeon. I remember the first time I ran some noobs through Maeo’s. I remember the first time I power-leveled someone at the worms. I remember my first shard dungeon, which I was very poorly equipped for.
I remember grinding materials for money to buy dyes for my armor. I remember the first time I was complimented on my mage skills. I remember the first time I was able to kill the level 20 dummy. I remember my first t10 dungeon. I remember the first time I claimed the trickster’s chest. I remember the day that mounts were released. I remember my first raid (bells ptsd). I remember the first time I died from pulling a boss’s aggro, which filled me with embarrassment and pride at the same time.
I remember the excitement of the reborn betas. I remember the day that the OG servers shut down and the day that the reborn servers launched. I remember theorizing about new tilesets to keep up with Reborn’s improved spell casting. I remember people’s excitement over the trickster goblin, which brought a lot of people into the PVP scene for a while. I think I remember my first t15, it might have been a broken halls.
I remember the dull frustration of seeing a level 3 running around with an elongata pet. I remember doing testing for Reborn’s first raid and trying to figure out the mechanics rather than having them explained to me. I remember many of the times I tried teaching people how to improve at mage, and encouraging them not to switch classes. Of course, I also remember many of the people I met along the way.
I made a lot of great memories in this game. I’ll carry them with me long after it’s gone. Thanks for the good times.

While I haven’t played in a long time, Orbus remains my favorite and most played VR game and it’s sad to see it go.
I have a lot of great memories of this game, from the first time I joined a pre-alpha test all the way to reborn and have made many friends along the way, some of which I still play with to this day.
I wish you guys success on your future projects and will see you at the end-of-the-world party.

I haven’t played in a long time, but I dropped in to check out Reborn for a bit. I always think about starting up again and now I kind of wish I had.
Orbus is definitely the VR game in which I have the fondest memories. Gaming wise, nothing compares to having been around for the birth of a VRMMO. From closed beta, all the way through Tradu Mines. I made friends, had adventures, and for a solid 250ish hours I lived and breathed that VR world.
I’m glad I recorded so many of my adventures in the game so I can occasionally go back and watch them for nostalgia’s sake.
Thanks for providing so much joy to so many over the years.

Are there any plans for new game developments/sequels/etc in the future? I would throw all of my money away to be able to play orbus forever, no matter what it’s called or what it looks like.

I met my entire online friend group through Orbus. I never thought I’d still be hanging out with them to this day and it would not have happened without this game. It’s the type of nostalgia I’ll still feel 20 years from now.
I’d love to see Reborn (or Preborn) live on in one form or another after it closes in April.
I appreciate everything you’ve done to create and promote this community.
