The Last Maelstrom

After eight years and over thirty successful events the Maelstrom campaign is reaching its climax. Next year will see the game gearing up to an epic finale - the ultimate event will be in September 2012.

How the game ends depends on you - Maelstrom remains a player-led game to the end. This is your chance to bring the campaign to an epic conclusion on your own terms. We're letting all the players know the date for the final event so that everyone has the chance to finish their story on a high. We hope that you will seize this opportunity to make the last year the most amazing of all.

Of course we'll be doing what we can to encourage and support that! We will be tweaking the downtime system to accelerate research and building for the three downtimes in 2012 and players can expect dramatic developments in the campaign.

Finally, players at the last event, in September 2012 will be invited to stay over the Sunday night for an almighty party as we toast the end of an era in style.

We'll be launching our brand new fest system, Empire in 2013. You can read the teaser for the new game here.
