About Ilysia

✦ AI summary

Ilysia is a VR MMORPG where you rebuild civilization in the land of Lavea after a catastrophic fire destroyed the island of Aenor, taking on quests, mastering crafts, and battling enemies solo or with allies. Stand out features include full freedom of movement with climbing and gliding, instanced dungeons and world bosses, and deep character customization across multiple playstyles from combat to crafting to exploration.

Aenor… once a thriving island, lost to ash and ruin.
The fire elementals, led by the enraged Guardian Bal’Ramos, rose without warning, consuming all in their path. The skies darkened, the land split, and despite the efforts of brave heroes, hope burned away with the flames.

But not all was lost. A handful of survivors fled, their hearts heavy with loss yet fueled by fragile determination. Through storm and peril, they sought refuge and found it here, in Lavea—a second chance.

With the kindness of its people and the resilience of their own, the survivors begin anew. But rebuilding comes at a price, for darkness is never truly vanquished. Whispers of ancient power stir beneath the surface, and as new threats rise, so too must new heroes—blade in hand, bow drawn, and spell woven— to stand against the coming storm and shape the fate of these lands.

A New World AwaitsThe story continues in Ilysia, a VR MMORPG set in the newly discovered land of Lavea. Picking up after the fall of Aenor, the survivors now strive to reestablish themselves—but new dangers rise to challenge them.

Venture forth alone or with allies as you embark on quests, grow in level, hone your skills, learn new trades, and tackle dangerous challenges as you gain power in an ever-evolving online world. Whether you seek glory in combat, riches through crafting, or the thrill of exploration, your journey is yours to forge.

Join us in Early Access and help shape the future of this evolving world.

Group & Social Systems – Form parties, communicate through in-game voice channels and mail, and take on challenges together.
Dungeons & Elite Encounters – Party up for instanced dungeons and world bosses, or face them alone—if you dare.
Quests & Story-Driven Adventure – Embark on quests solo or with friends, uncovering the secrets of Lavea.
Combat Your Way – Wield blades, bows, or spells to strike down enemies or support allies with healing magic. Whether you prefer close-quarters combat or long-range tactics, your skills shape the battle.

Character Customization – Choose from a variety of races and personalize every detail of your character.
Crafting & Professions – Master fishing, cooking, armorsmithing, and weaponsmithing to craft and trade valuable gear.
Rewarding Exploration – Uncover hidden treasures, dangerous foes, and diverse challenges, including quests, dungeons, and elite encounters.

✦ AI summary

Ilysia is a free-to-play VR MMO that players appreciate for its generous content, quest-driven gameplay, and old-school MMO feel reminiscent of games like EverQuest and WoW, with ongoing improvements being noticed by the community. However, the game has significant issues including incompatibility with HTC Vive controls that make it unplayable on that headset, and serious safety concerns around inadequate moderation and player harassment, particularly affecting younger players. Players recommend trying it since it's free, but potential parents should be aware of the community safety issues.

a MMO type VR game like Wow. have played it more on my Quest than on steam. all was cool until i was helping my Niece with the game using parental controls that let me see and hear what is going on. Just not safe for kids seeing my niece was hit on her 1st day trying to do the training quest with a Man creeping on her so much she tried to run from him, but he followed. Love the parental controls was able to get in and record video of him. he was drop Bad words racist words and going nuts hopping up and down on her. when he found out was was watching it all on the cell phone before i got in game. he started attacking me. and saying bad things about me how am i watching a kid play the game. do not think he knew about the Quest 3 parental controls. calling me a perp trying to do anything to get the blame off him. glad i have it on video. the Devs have not banned him yet. and over 24 hour later he was running up on my Nephew as he heard the sound of a Kid he would go running to them. only to find me there also, so reporting him again.

It's really fun, For it being such a small game and being free to play it has alot of content, Such as killing mobs, Questing, and it feels rewarding to complete the quests! Highly reccomend giving it a shot what do you have to lose? it's ftp

Played for awhile on Quest before starting on Steam. Ilysia has loads of potential, things have improved just since I had a break and came back. If you like Old School MMO like Everquest or WoW, it kinda reminds me of those a little. Had a lot of fun in the time I've played so far. It's free to play and nothing you can buy gives advantage, so there's no reason to not give it a go. :)

Apparently does not support HTC Vive controls. Even with using Steam Input profiles I wasn't able to bring up the backpack or menu in the tutorial area.
