[Update] Monsters & Memories Beta Roadmap: Blacktide Bay Dungeon Reveal & PvP Details

Detailed breakdown of the new Blacktide Bay dungeon, Module 1 roadmap, and PvP ruleset for the upcoming Monsters & Memories Closed Beta (March 2026).

NEW DUNGEON REVEAL: BLACKTIDE BAY (Level 12+)

In the latest developer livestream, the team unveiled Blacktide Bay, a major new dungeon coming to the Monsters & Memories Beta. If you are looking for an alternative leveling path to Tel'ear or Wormsbane, this is it.

Zone Overview:
• Level Range: Mid-levels (Starts approx. Lvl 12 and scales deeper).
• Location: A key part of the new "Module 1" expansion area.

Dungeon Layout & Guide: The zone features a unique vertical design split into two distinct atmospheric layers:

Upper Industrial District: Dominated by Orc architecture, ruins, and machinery.

Lower Natural Caverns: A "Goonies-inspired" network of dark tunnels, underground streams, and waterfalls.
• Navigation Tip: Look for holes in the floor to drop into the lower depths, and use ropes or ladders to climb your way back out.

SERVER POLL & PVP RULESET CONFIRMED

The devs have launched a critical Server Interest Poll to gauge population balance for launch.
• PvP Ruleset: Confirmed as "No Holds Barred." There are no level restrictions on engagement (ganking is possible) and item looting is active.
• Action Required: Log in to the official site to vote for PvE or PvP to help the team plan for server capacity.
