Sherwood Dungeon, developed by Maid Marian Entertainment Inc., is celebrating its sixth anniversary this week with the release of a new quest series called Prophecy of Bane. Without a wide array of advertising, Sherwood Dungeon has managed to garner the attention of more than one million players. What's more, the long-time running 3D MMOG was developed by a single man. Maid Marian founder Gene Endrody started the game as a hobby, but as it evolved the player culture took on a life of its own.
"Sherwood started out as a hobby while I worked in the console games industry and grew organically. It's been a game that's in constant development while it's live," says Maid Marian founder, Gene Endrody. "Originally players came back just to see what I had added and this created an interesting player culture because their feedback affected my choices. It's also a bit of an anti-corporate entity; more like the crazy guy who turned his house into a haunted castle and invited people in to make suggestions."
Sherwood Dungeon doesn't require a monthly fee, download, or a gaming computer to play. If you're interested be sure to give it a look.
