Q: When are you planning to release this game?
A: Life is Feudal: Your Own has already launched in Early Access on Steam on 19.09.2014.
Life is Feudal: MMO open beta planned for Q1 2017. A release will happen sometime after end of open beta.
Q: What is this game payment model?
A: Life is Feudal: Your Own is based on the typical B2P (buy to play) model - this does include server files that allows you to create your own server on your home PC. After purchasing this game no further payment is required at any point.
Life is Feudal: MMO will use a combination of B2P and F2P (free to play) model. You will be able to download the client for free and stay on the newbie island for as long as you want, but the newbie island will be wiped of changes every week and your skillcap on the newbie island is set at 150. You can read more about the newbie island mechanics here. Leaving the newbie island will require a certain amount of special in-game currency, which can be bought with real life funds. The special in-game currency can be spent later on some vanity items in our in-game shop, too.
We are introducing entry fee (yet to be decided) only for the purpose of protecting the player's community from cheaters/harassment that may be possible in many ways in sandbox games like ours. That does not mean that we won't implement anti-harassment gameplay mechanisms and anti cheat measures, alongside this, however you may lose your account funds if you receive a ban - which is a good reason to behave accordingly and not to push limits.
Check out our poll to give us an idea of fees.
Q: Where can I purchase this game?
A: You can purchase Life is Feudal: Your Own either directly from our website or from the Steam store.

Q: “Life is feudal”. Where did that name come from?
A: After much debate and many variations, this title best encapsulated all the aspects of the game in terms of the brutal combat and artisan crafting in medieval times - and in some modern day aspects, life IS feudal. The name itself was borrowed from the American localization of ”Settlers” - ”Serf City: Life is Feudal”.
Q: When did you start development?
A: Bobik, the project leader, started a topic on a game development site on the 4th of May 2010. It took several months to gather a core team of enthusiasts. Excitement rose in October 2010 when we wrote the first lines of code for the actual game.
This excitement grew even more when in November 2011 we received investments that enabled us to become a full time indie studio. We have been enthusiastically and passionately coding ever since then to bring our vision of the ultimate 'dream game' to your computer.
