276 articlesTower of Fantasy used to be popular when it was released back in 2022. In fact, this free-to-play anime game got big at that time that it was even dubbed as a potential Genshin Impact killer.
However, it didn’t take long for the game to fall off, as most of its playerbase got tired quickly due to some of its systems. Even with the release of update 2.0 a few months later, it seems that the damage was already done.
It was then followed by updates after updates, until eventually, the hype for Tower of Fantasy died down as there were simply better alternatives at that time.
Three years later, developer Hotta Studio is aiming to make a comeback for Tower of Fantasy by introducing a major rework of its systems.

The aim of this server is simple: there’ll be no need to pull for characters and weapons anymore. Instead, you’ll have to grind for them as you would in any traditional MMO.
A Gacha-Free System and a Major Overhaul of Tower of Fantasy’s Systems
Hotta Studio has announced the upcoming changes via Tower of Fantasy’s official account on X (formerly Twitter).
According to the post, the changes are made to “meet the expectations of Authorizers for MMO gameplay, the Warp Server, featuring a brand-new system and progression mechanics.”
So what are the changes exactly?
For starters, the Warp Server will get rid of the gacha-based system that the game came with when it released back in 2022.
This means you’ll no longer have to pull characters and weapons. Instead, players can earn them via daily play. No more relying on a lot of RNG to obtain the things you want, as you can instead spend hours grinding them to get them.
Another change seems to be tier rarities with equipment as well as level requirements, which make them closer to the traditional MMO experience. And since there are no stamina requirements anymore, you’ll be able to grind as much as you want.
There are also things like GvE crew events, as well as a Crew Base where you can interact and trade with other players.

From what the developers said, it will be a “major leap towards the future of the game.” Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of details going on about it.
But since it’s slated to release on November 25th, we don’t have to wait for long to find out.
