Yes. Closed-alpha accounts are completely free, and there's no pay-to-win — the server validates every action, so everyone plays on a level field.

Do I need to download anything?

No. Idle Guilds runs in any modern web browser — just open it and play. Steam and mobile versions are planned for later.

An idle (or 'incremental') game keeps progressing while you're away: you queue up skilling, combat, and crafting, then check back as your character grows. The MMO part means a shared, living world with a real player-driven market and guilds.

Is it like Melvor Idle or Idle Clans?

If you enjoy those, you'll feel at home. Idle Guilds blends the deep skilling of Melvor Idle with the live economy and clans of Idle Clans — plus hand-animated 'living' skill scenes of its own.

Will my progress be wiped?

It's an early closed alpha, so occasional resets are possible as systems change. If a wipe is coming, we'll always warn the community on Discord first.

Can I play on mobile?

It works in mobile browsers, but it's best on desktop today. Installable apps are on the roadmap.

How do I report bugs or give feedback?

Join the Discord — it's the fastest way to reach the developer and help shape the game.

Skills with a heartbeat

Name: Idle Guilds
Availability: LimitedAvailability
Author: Idle Guilds

Mining and smithing now run on animated “alive” scenes — progression you can sit back and watch.

Instead of a bare progress bar, each skill has a hand-built animated scene that reacts as you work. It’s the signature feel I want every skill in Idle Guilds to have: idle, but never lifeless.
