🛒 The PixMMO Store is Now Live!

We're excited to announce that the PixMMO in-game store is officially active! You can now purchase cosmetics to customize your character and stand out in the world of PixMMO.

Why it matters

PixMMO is a solo-developed game every system, feature, and update you experience comes from one person building this project from the ground up. When you support the store, that support goes directly back into the game: new features, expanded content, improved infrastructure, and faster development.

Seeing PixMMO grow from Closed Beta into Open Beta, and now to having a full store, has been an incredible journey. Thank you to everyone who has played, supported, and believed in this project along the way it truly means a lot.

Found a bug?

If you run into any issues in the store or anywhere else in the game, please report it! Bug reports are essential for keeping PixMMO stable and improving the experience for everyone.

You can report bugs by:

Posting in #bug-reports on our Discord Sending a direct message to the developer

Please include what happened, what you expected to happen, and a screenshot if possible — it helps a lot.

Thank you for being part of the PixMMO community. Here's to the next chapter! 🚀

The in-game store is temporarily disabled while the company behind PixMMO is being officially set up in Germany. This is a required legal step before store purchases can resume, and it takes some time to complete properly.

• 🛒 The store is offline for now — no purchases can be made
• 🎮 This does not affect gameplay, progress, or any other part of the game
• ⏳ No fixed date yet, but updates will be shared as things progress

Thanks for your patience — the store will return once everything is properly set up.

PixMMO Enters Open Beta

Today marks a big milestone for PixMMO: we're officially moving from Closed Beta into Open Beta. The game is now open for everyone to play.

What "Open Beta" means for you

Open Beta means the core of PixMMO — raids, crafting, the world, the economy — is in a stable, playable state, but we're still actively refining things. You may still encounter bugs or unexpected behavior.

If you run into a bug, please report it through our Discord's #bug-reports channel — your reports directly shape what we fix next.

No progress wipe

We know beta wipes are frustrating, so we're doing things differently:

• There will be no reset of your progress.
• Everything you earn, build, and unlock during Open Beta carries forward.
• What you do now matters for the long run.

What's next

Over the coming days, we'll be closely monitoring bug reports and rolling out fixes, along with ongoing improvements to account and platform security. Expect a steady stream of small patches as we respond to what the community finds.

• 🐛 Bug fixes based on community reports
• 🔒 Ongoing security improvements
• ⚙️ General stability and polish

Thank you to our Closed Beta testers for getting us here — and welcome to everyone joining us for Open Beta. This is where PixMMO really starts to grow.

Two days, five fixes — including one critical one. Here's everything that shipped: 🔴 Critical: Inventory-wiping bug fixed Combat and travel rewards were silently wiping player inventories — a bug in how the server read stored inventory data meant every kill and every travel step could overwrite your real inventory with just that call's loot, or empty it entirely if nothing dropped. This has been live since July 13, so anyone who fought or traveled in the last 5 days may have been affected. It's fixed now — going forward your inventory is safe.

⚠️ This does not restore items already lost — there's no backup to recover from. If you noticed gear missing between July 13–18, that's why. We're sorry, and we're adding safeguards to catch this kind of thing faster next time.

🔴 Security: Gold/gem duplication exploits closed Found and fixed exploits letting players duplicate gold or gems through the General Store, guild creation, guild bank/war donations, stat respec, inn resting, and voucher redemption — all of it now processes atomically so nothing can be duped by switching tabs mid-purchase. Also locked down an unauthenticated endpoint that let anyone set a guild's war gold/items to any value. Thanks to strelly for the original report that kicked off the audit. 🟢 Fixed: Notification toast popups Unread notification toasts now show exactly once — either live when they arrive, or once on your next reload if you missed them — and won't spam you with repeats after that. 🔵 Redesigned: Roadmap page /roadmap is now a filterable grid (All / Available / In Progress / Planned with live counts) instead of three lopsided columns, so it no longer turns into a wall of empty space or an endless mobile scroll.

Thanks to @strelly_ for the reports — keep them coming. — The PixMMO Team

PixMMO News

🎉 New Features

Item Compare — Inventory now lets you compare any item against your equipped gear (or against another item in your bag) before deciding what to wear. Available from the bag view, grid view, and the paper-doll screen.

Nightwatch — AFK Travel is gone, replaced by a new Town job: pick a shift length (still 1 Gem = 1 minute), go do something else, then come back and collect Gold/XP/items. Purely passive — no simulated combat.

Real Monster Art — Every one of the 42 spawnable enemies now has its own animated sprite (idle + flying) instead of a generic Skull/Crown icon, each with a themed elemental affinity. Portraits were then bumped up to 128px, matched against the player avatar, and cropped/scaled so nothing clips.

Combat Hit Animation — Attacks now play a hit-impact animation on the target.

Travel Sprite Animation — The step button on Travel now shows your character idling or running depending on whether a step is on cooldown.

Beta Tester Rank — Admins can grant a [BETA] tag (shown in chat, profiles, and player lists) that always comes with Premium attached.

Guild Recruitment → Forum — Recruitment ads posted from a guild's Recruit tab now also show up as a thread in the Guild Hall forum, so the whole player base can see them, not just guild browsers. Edits and deletes stay in sync both ways.

✨ Improvements

• Rest was renamed to Heal, and its gold cost now scales with zone progress instead of a flat 10 gold.
• Town Shop got a visual redesign, with fixed image sizing and clearer Gems/Diamonds naming.
• Iron Bar and other smith-upgrade materials are now properly typed as materials (were miscategorized as consumables, which let them be "used" for no effect) — and they stack correctly again, capped at 999 per stack.
• Raid Seal items are now visible in the Admin Dashboard and raid/zone pickers.
• Various mobile inventory button sizing/overflow fixes.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed gold from selling items sometimes not saving if you navigated away right after.
• Fixed the header staying stuck in its logged-out state after logging in, until a manual refresh.
• Fixed boss travel progress resetting to 0 on page refresh.
• Fixed the Attack/Flee buttons getting cut off on shorter screens in combat (a side effect of the bigger monster portraits above) — the combat panel now scrolls if it needs to.

🐛 Bug Fixes

🔴 Unequip — item changed or disappeared Fixed a race condition where unequipping an item would sometimes put the wrong item back into your inventory or cause the equipped item to vanish entirely. This was caused by a stale state reference inside the unequip logic and is now fully resolved.
