Some news of the game if you haven't read about it:
The game comes with a complete RPG CP where you can edit just about everything from monsters/items/accessories/weapons/armor/etc.
Achievements for you to earn.
Player to Player donations.
Real time player vs player battles.
Fame system.
Currently 2 game add-ons that you can add to your board through the RPG CP - a lottery system and a game called Merlin's Magical Boxes.
Battle SystemThe previous battle system was time based with an active time bar. Wasn't really cutting it and was easily manipulated(Thanks to Gor for pointing that out). The new battle system cannot be manipulated as it's turn based and is set by the server for action turns on each side.
- Turn Based. Still greater initiative at the start of battle determines who goes first, and if you leave the battle to go post on the forum or something and it was to be your turn to attack next, you can still come back and it will be your turn.
- Monsters. These have been heavily modified, they are now rated by their body size, weapon damage, health, etc. If they are a monster of Colossal size and you are a Gnome of Small size - the monster clearly has the advantage and thus gives an attack bonus to itself and you suffer with a penalty because of the size.
- Melee and Ranged weapons. Melee weapons will not have any effect on how you go first in a battle, on the other hand a Ranged weapon will always give you the upper hand in combat. Melee weapons also are effected by their weapon size, the larger the weapon is the higher the critical damage will be.
- Magical items. These include Weapons and Armor. They are most beneficial in any way, created to be better than a Normal type item because of it's enhancements. An example Magical Weapon would be my Greatsword of Slaying. It's no ordinary Greatsword, it has an enhancement AND an ability. The enhancement would grant me extra damage on the attack and the ability would as well, such as fire/ice damage.
- Favored Monster. If you fight a monster more than others it will show you your favored monster.
RegistrationUpon registration you will see 2 extra sections. These are Race, and Class. Race and Class literally determine your character. While logging into the game for the first time after creating your character you will get some die rolls. These rolls, on the first round, will determine your ability scores(STR,DEX,INT,CON,WIS,CHA). You may re-roll as many times as you like. Your second roll will be to roll for your amount of health points(Remember, that each race/class will allow for smaller/greater dice to roll for this), and you will get a bonus to your health points from your Constitution modifier if your CON is great enough - otherwise a penalty. Your third roll will produce your Skills, these include Climb/Jump/Balance/Swim/Move Silently/Pick Lock/Search/Speak Language/Use Rope/Heal Everyone of those Skills will have an effect in the game. If you've chosen a Cleric/Sorcerer/Wizard you get to choose 2 spells. These include Cure Light Wounds/True Strike/Magic Missile/Flaming Sphere/Magic Weapon/Dispel Magic/Lightning Strike. You also get Feats, but those are only attained during levels up.
