Why you might like it

  • Player-run cultural, legal and path institutions make social reputation and community participation unusually important to character identity.
  • Warrior, rogue, mage and poet paths support distinct damage, stealth, control, healing and support roles across solo and group play.
  • Customizable rented homes and an established economy provide persistent personal and social goals beyond increasing combat statistics.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • The small, deeply established community can be difficult to enter without learning its customs, terminology and player-led organizations.
  • Tile graphics, interface conventions and progression openly reflect the design of one of the earliest graphical MMORPGs.
  • A free trial is available, but continued access and higher-level participation use a subscription-oriented account model.
