Book of Travels Ends Online Era, Reborn as a $4.99 Solo RPG

TL;DR Summary
Indie studio Might & Delight is shutting down Book of Travels' online servers on July 31 and rebranding the game as a $4.99 offline single-player RPG with official mod support. The game will be playable entirely offline, with MMO characters exportable before the deadline, and solo tweaks like expanded inventory and a larger, unlimited Trainmaster's Stash. A new Discord hub will coordinate mods. The price drop and offline pivot aim to salvage the project after layoffs and a difficult early access, breaking from the industry trend of killing off online games.
