The Chronicle

The Chronicle was an in-development fantasy MMORPG from Rapid Reality and its MMOCenter.com portal, envisioning nine races and 27 sub-races, skill-based classless progression, and a permadeath system softened by an instanced "Death Realm" purgatory. Rapid Reality publicly put the project on hold, explaining in an open letter that its ambitions had outgrown its original technical platform, and chose to refocus the young studio on a smaller, faster-to-ship MMOFPS instead; The Chronicle never resumed development.

Why you might like it

  • Collectors of ambitious, never-released 2000s MMORPG concepts, particularly ones with unusual permadeath designs.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • The Chronicle never left the concept/pre-production stage — no alpha, beta or public build was ever released, and Rapid Reality's public statements indicate the project was shelved rather than merely delayed.
