Rappelz is a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) set in a medieval fantasy world, with features designed to appeal to both casual and hardcore players alike.

Rappelz comes with extensive lists of quests, allowing users to play solo and/or group up and level at their leisure. Along the way, you will be able to customize your character with a deep job system that allows for unique character builds. You will fight using a combat system that allows the usage of pets, tamed from various parts of the Rappelz world, to fight alongside and assist you. The pets can be leveled up as well, with their own talent and job skills.

The oldest race is the Gaia, and to assist them, the gods of Creation and Extinction brought two more races into the world. They were the Deva who represented the Light and the Asura who represented the Darkness. With this, there was a period of peace and stability in the world.

As the ages passed by, there was one among the Gaia who called herself “The Witch”. Over time, she grew in tremendous power and with a ruthless ambition, rallied the people of Gaia to rebel against the world.

Not all the people of Gaia heeded this call however and the world was thrown into chaos. It was only through the combined efforts of the three races of Deva, Asura and Gaia that “The Witch” was finally captured and burnt alive. It was a victorious outcome of a unity between the three races.

Now at the present time, the three races continue to co-exist with each other in the world of Rappelz but dark rumors have surfaced about the second coming of “The Witch” and the return of her terrible forces…

Space Cowboy Online An action based Massive Multiplayer Online (MMO) 3D Space Shooter.

• 3D Space Shooting MMO
In Space Cowboy, gamers have full control over the Gear’s control making it very different from the traditional RPG’s mouse click control method. This is a game based on Role-Playing Game (RPG) level concepts, but the fun and action of a First Person Shooter (FPS).

• Diverse Selection of Fighting Gears
There are 4 kinds of Gears available to choose from, with each Gear having it’s individual unique characteristics. These characteristics differ in skill and items giving the player the opportunity to choose which items to equip to suit the player’s preferences. Gears can be upgraded to change color, performance, weapons, and so on in order to satisfy the gamer’s growth of the character.

• Battle Formation/Brigade System
A formation system is possible that is similar to the generic party concept of a Role-Playing Game. There can be a maximum of 6 players in a formation (triangle formation, reverse triangle formation, X form formation, etc.) dependant on the formation leader at the center of the formation during battle. The performance of the formation depends on the player’s ability to work together and different formations require different skills and playing styles.

In addition to the formation, there is a brigade concept that is the equivalent to the guild term from other Massive Multiplayer Online games. A brigade can consist of 40 members, and have a specific brigade mark specified by the brigade leader to identify the brigade.

• Battle/Large-Scale Battle
Space Cowboy Online has an intense battle system including Player vs Environment (PVE) and Player vs Player (PVP) elements. PVE elements are used for standard leveling from experience points, while PVP elements can be seen through 1 on 1 battles, formation (party) battles, and even brigade battles. As opposing nations exist, there will be large scale nation wars throughout the game servers resulting in a possibility of occupying enemy forces and increasing profits for ones own nation. The 3-D aerial and ground battles will bring a whole new experience to the user.

• Mission
A large number of missions are available which bring the storyline into perspective depending on the player’s chosen nation and have it’s share of rewards.

• Voice Communication System
When a headphone and microphone are in hand, 1 on 1, formation, and brigade voice communication options are possible. Using voice communication will make interaction between the users easier and more personal than just the text form of communication, as well as giving a method of communicating while the gamer can continue to be focused on their game control. Using voice communication within Space Cowboy Online will help organize strategy in large-scale battle, and missions where many people can join in.

Anarchy Online
A science fiction MMORPG.

OS: Win 2000/XP

Anarchy Online [wiki] The game is set in the years following June 29475; the current game year is 29481. The story of Anarchy Online revolves primarily around two factions, the hypercorporation Omni-Tek and the rebel worker caste, the Clans. These two factions are fighting for control of Rubi-Ka. In addition to these two, there is a third faction of Neutral observers, people who have decided to take no side in the conflict. This conflict has been waged on and off for centuries. In addition, there have been larger conflicts between Omni-Tek and other corporations over the control of Rubi-Ka.

Rubi-Ka, a seemingly useless desert planet, is of such tremendous importance because it is the only known source in the universe of the fictional substance notum. Omni-Tek, having been granted exclusive ownership rights to the planet, controlled notum for many years and benefited tremendously when it was discovered that the mineral would revolutionize, and eventually become the key component of, nanotechnology. The discovery of notum’s properties led to the development of technologies that seem very much like magic, including programs that create things such as fire and ice, heal injury, shield people from harm, affect their physical bodies, and even achieve resurrection. Notum even makes its way into the very genetic makeup of some sub-breeds of humans.

Due to Omni-Tek’s unfettered control of Rubi-Ka, the corporation was largely free to do as it wished with its colonists and the planet. For most of the early years, Omni-Tek did its best to treat its people well, even to the point of receiving commendations for its treatment of workers. However, over the centuries, Omni-Tek’s policies degraded, until finally, approximately 500 years after the planet was first settled, a significant number of poorly-treated colonists rebelled and began to secretly trade stolen notum to a rival corporation. This led to a series of wars between Omni-Tek and the colonists, and between Omni-Tek and its rival corporations.

The background of the game is described in greater detail in the book Prophet Without Honor: Anarchy Online Book 1, by the Anarchy Online creator Ragnar Tørnquist. A detailed timeline of events, from the discovery of Rubi-Ka until 29479, is available at the official Rubi-Ka Timeline page.

Players are presented with four breeds each with male or female choices, except for the neuter Atrox race. Breeds affect a character’s primary abilities, which will affect the distribution of improvement points in the skill system later on. There are four breeds: Atrox, big and strong but not too smart; Nanomage, frail but intellectually developed; Solitus, effective at any task, but excellent in none; and Opifex, physically lacking, but agile and cunning.

After the selection of a breed, players choose from a multitude of faces, their height, and their body size, then select one of 14 professions:

• Adventurer — A generalist profession, the Adventurer combines a balance of weapons and nanotechnology with a deep understanding of nature, which enables him to morph himself and others into several animal forms conveying various benefits. He is adept with either pistols or one-handed edged weapons, typically wielding a pair of them at once. The Adventurer can serve as a front-line combatant and a secondary healer, with a healing ability second only to Doctors.

• Agent — The Agent is a ranged combatant who fights with a combination of stealth and disguise. He favors rifles, especially those capable of the high-damage special Aimed Shot attack that can only be used while hidden. Agents are able to temporarily assume the guise of other professions, albeit with significant penalties, and gain use of items and nanoprograms normally exclusive to the imitated class.

• Bureaucrat — Bureaucrats use nanoprograms to hinder, immobilize, and pacify enemies, either singly or in crowds. They also use nanoprograms to damage foes directly, as well as summon a robotic servant and use mind-control on up to two enemies, all of whom can be ordered to fight on the Bureaucrat’s behalf. In a nod to the stereotypical image of bureaucrats, the profession features formal suits, briefcases and Bureaucrat-only coffee machines.

• Doctor — Doctors are the primary healers in the game. They use a range of nanotechnology to keep characters alive, from maximum health bonuses to continual health-replenishing effects to instantaneous healing. They slow enemies’ attacks and whittle them down with damage-over-time nanoprograms.

• Enforcer — Enforcers are the primary tank profession of Anarchy, front-line combatants with the potential to excel with any melee weapon type. They protect teammates by attracting the attention of nearby enemies onto themselves. They protect themselves through nanotechnology that boosts their health and absorbs damage on their behalf.

• Engineer — The Engineer creates, augments, repairs and controls fearsome combat robots. Defensively, Engineers provide a variety of shielding effects that reduce damage to their teammates and/or injure the enemies who attacked. Engineers also have an affinity for crafting items. Engineers also have the ability to warp players to the Engineer’s current position.

• Fixer — The Fixer is a master of escape and shady acquisitions. He can greatly boost characters’ running speeds and can bring characters into an alternate version of one of the game’s global transportation systems — one with a significantly greater number of destinations. In combat, a Fixer keeps his foes at a distance both by hindering their movement and by augmenting his own, all the while pelting them with his favorite submachine gun. Fixers also use nanotechnology to become difficult to hit, and what few injuries they do suffer are treated by continual health-replenishing effects.

• Keeper — The Keeper is the first of two professions introduced in the Shadowlands expansion, and is similar to the fantasy RPG paladin. Keepers have a range of nanoprograms that provide continual benefits to themselves and all nearby teammates (including damage increases, health and nano regeneration, and armour improvements). They prefer to fight in melee combat with two-handed edged weapons.

• Martial Artist — An offensively-leaning front-line combatant, the Martial Artist eschews weapons in favor of his bare hands, a multitude of special attacks and nanoprograms boosting the chance for critical hits. As a defense, Martial Artists evade most blows and heal the ones that land.

• Meta-Physicist — Meta-Physicists are exemplified by their trio of individually-controllable pets that they use to attack enemies, pacify enemies, and heal allies, respectively. These pets can be temporarily improved by the Meta-Physicist as well. MPs also use nanoprograms to damage foes directly, weaken and slow enemies’ attacks, and greatly increase their allies’ nanoprogram skills.

• Nano-Technician — The Nano-Technician uses nanoprograms to cause damage, either to single targets or to all foes nearby. They also immobilize and pacify single enemies, or blind them so their weapons are less effective. Nano-Technicians also wield the program “Nullity Sphere”, which immobilizes them for a small period of time but grants total reflection of all damage except incoming reflection damage from attacking shielded enemies.

• Shade — The second profession introduced in the Shadowlands expansion, the Shade is this game’s version of the fantasy RPG assassin. Shades favor offense heavily over defense. In exchange for an inability to wear most protective gear, they can cause unrivaled damage with their piercing melee weapons. Their strikes may steal health from their victims, or afflict them with further damage over time or other debilitating effects.

• Soldier — Soldiers are a ranged, front-line combatant favoring assault rifles, heavy weapons, or a pair of high-damage pistols. Much like Enforcers, Soldiers taunt nearby enemies, living through the subsequent attack with the help of nanotechnology that partially reflects some or a majority of that enemy’s attacks back at it.

• Trader — A Trader’s defining characteristic is trading — taking health, nanoenergy, armor, or all weapon and casting skills from his enemies to improve his own, as well as lending any of these from himself to his allies. Foes that still prove troublesome can be immobilized or pacified. A Trader’s weapon of choice is his trusty shotgun. Outside battle, Traders have an affinity for crafting items and for improving other players’ abilities to do so. Furthermore Traders may access special Trader shops and sell items for higher prizes there.

Players have the option to play with other players or alone and are able to upgrade weapons an unlimited number of times.

from the site:
A war has been raging for hundreds of years between political factions in the land.

Then, a warrior named DoChun-Poung battled the Evil Blood Emperor
in an attempt to bring peace to the land.
DoChun-Poung was victorious and in order to make sure that
the oppressive reign of the Evil Blood Emperor would not return;
he cut the Evil Blood Emperor into 4 pieces.

Many decades passed…

Sa-Do, the son of the Blood Evil Emperor, was determined
to bring back his father from the dead in order to re-establish
his reign of terror. Sa-Do journeyed throughout the land in
order to locate and collect the 4 pieces from his father’s corpse.
After the reunification of the 4 pieces was complete signs
that were foretold occurred. The black star appeared
in the sky to signal the beginning of the new reign of terror.
One of the suns turned black while the other one turned red.
Shortly thereafter, black clouds covered the sky and blotted out the daylight.

After many years…

Most of the living creatures in the land became extinct due to the destruction of the natural resources needed to sustain their lives. The few species that did survive turned into human/monster-like creatures. They called themselves the “Evil Monster”. One of the monsters, Lak-Sa, unified all monsters in order to strengthen them against any possible survivors that might try to challenge his group.

Lak-Sa became the strongest being in the world. He had the strength both human and monster. Although he unified the monsters some years ago, he now realized that he has to create a group of followers that would stop them from ruling the land. Due to his superior strength and skill; Lak-Sa defeated one martial arts master after another. Finally, he made a pact with the martial arts masters that he had defeated, but not destroyed to create another group of followers and increased his power to use against the monsters.

01. Detailed graphics.
The graphics are extremely detailed. The realistic graphics make the user experience more enjoyable.

02. Advanced monsters
Advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) based on the Artificial Emotion (AE) system for monsters. The NPCs (nonplayable characters) in Xiah are based on the AI system as well. For example, a monster running away can return to attack users when it meets other monsters who will cooperate in attacking the player.

03. Console online experience
Console online means you will feel the playing style of a consol game when playing Xiah. It has advantages over console and online games. For example, users can concentrate on Xiah with a console game intensity and communicate with other users easily with the online game aspect.

04. UI(user interface) System based on HCI
One of the most important elements in a video game is the UI (user interface). Xiah has 3 factors of HCI (Human Computer Interface): technical support, user friendly and graphical design. You will experience the easiest and the most convenient UI from Xiah.

05. Xiah was created for play using various points-of-view.
Xiah offers both the first and third person view with both control interfaces (keyboard or a mouse). Users can see the background and the characters from a variety of angles. Players can opt to view the game environment in a real-life type of view by choosing the first person view.

06. Community system

The email communication system called “Letter” allows for information to pass between players. With the extensive and dynamic communication system at your disposal; you will feel like you are right in the middle of the world of Xiah.

01. Background of Xiah is Asian Fantasy
Necromancer, Long Sword, Magic Arrow, and Meteo all have deep personal histories. The rich plots thicken the fun and build the anticipation. Emotions can fly, especially when a twist brings disappointment.

02. Emotional and stylish Game
The focus of all multimedia is style. The creators of Xiah want it to be remembered as an emotionally-charged and graphically impressive game for users. That is why they focused on the stylish Asian fantasy world to create Xiah.

03. Emotional and stylish Game
When you watch a SF movie, what you will remember about the movie? Not the characters’ names. You will remember a scene which is impressive. The focus of all multimedia is style. People remember the media by style. Xiah wants to be remembered as an emotional and impressive game for users. Hence we focus on our stylish Asian fantasy world to make Xiah.

04. Easy to learn
Other Asian fantasy games are difficult to learn and play. However, Xiah combines elements from RPG games from around the world. As a result, the learning curve is short! Even beginners can play and learn Xiah easily.

Corum Online - from gPotato
A free to play MMO from overseas. However unlike the other clones out there, this game puts a fresh spin on PvP.
Size: 597.49MB
OS: Win 98/NT/2K/XP

In the past couple of years, Corum Online has been one of the top-ranked games in the Japanese and Korean Markets. The game has a flurry of quests and a very unique PvP system which consists of battles for the control of certain dungeons that can be controlled by guilds. The game also provides potential for lots of customization for the players. The PvP system is very unique for Corum Online and it is based on gaining and maintaining the possession of certain dungeons that are scattered throughout the world of Corum. Each of these types of “siege dungeons” provide the owner with either beneficial items or materials that can be used to create unique items. Corum Online also has thousands of items that a player can get in order to improve their characters skills, attributes, or their looks. Players can also learn the skills of a different class.

from the site:
A long time ago this was a world of chaos with nothing in existence. Within that chaos, the only thing that was created with order and a presence was light. The light burned more furiously as it sucked in the other chaotic energies that were scattered amongst the land. As the light burned brighter, the dark shadows of the world where light could not reach became even darker. As the burning light gathered together which formed the power of creation. The dark power that was heavily falling into the bottomless pit became the power of destruction.

Light and Shadow…

The two elements, light and shadow, became the representatives of order and chaos. The world repeated creation and destruction with these powers. That process in itself was another form of chaos and other orders were created within. Through that power, beings that had strength and will were created. The power of their will denied blind creation and destruction. They speculated to find an acceptable reason for this creation and destruction, but their powers were too strong to keep the peace stable. The energy of creation and destruction were only concentrated on a few beings and the this world would come to an end if at least one of them wished for destruction. Having form and order within this world was impossible because it was made of complete chaos and the pure order within such chaos.

The war between the gods once again…

They faced the crisis of total destruction at the end of the war. The bodies of the last five gods were preserved by transforming them into the five lands of Ephnentria but their souls did not have any place to go. They bound themselves to Crystal-Soulstones in order to enclose their souls which would otherwise be scattered amongst the material world. It occurred in a single period in time when compared to the duration of the gods’ existence.

The five lands that were born on that day were later called Elland (Corum), Robentia, Maraudon, Darthted, and Evia.

Flyff, or ´Fly For Fun´, is an online MMORPG. Flyff separates itself from most MMORPGs by having a flying system, in which you can fly around using a hoverboard or broom as a way of transportation to other islands and towns in the game to explore and level up or for battles in PVP (Player vs. Player) mode and more than 120 levels of play.

from the site:
In ancient times, five Gods of Lais sought to create a new world with new inhabitants that could live harmoniously among them. They gathered and agreed to create Roika Mainland; their new world. They created water and the earth, animals and plants as well as Humans. At this time, and at all times in Roika Mainland, it is a time of peace.

After years of peace, the God’s decided to leave Roika Mainland and create a new world. With this, in an attempt to maintain the golden age of Roika mainland the Gods of Lais handed all of the secrets of the land as well as the core part of the revolution-genesis gear over to the kind race of Dwarf. The God’s only wish was that the world would remain as beautiful and peaceful as it was in their rule.

Simultaneously, to bring happiness to the race of human, the Gods created Comedian-Clown. The Comedian Clown became enraged about bringing happiness to the race of Human and split its personality into three identities; Imagination Ipuli, Shadow Shield and Chromospheres Bobor. Under the initiation of the evil Shadow Shield, the main body-Imagination Ipuli not only chased away the kind Chromospheres Bobor, but also created numerous Human attacking monsters. These monsters took away the revolution-genesis-gear of the race dwarf and developed a new Mainland; a mainland that was angrier, stronger and prepared to destroy the race of Human.

To save the mainland from chaos, the Chromospheres Bobor inherited the mystical ancient-science and black magic of Human. For the restoration of harmonious simple life, the citizens of Roika Mainland were forced to become warriors who would fight against the evil shadow Shield and uphold the wish of the God’s.

Out numbered and out matched, the race Human prepares themselves for a battle that may prove to be their end!

from the site:
You fight with courage, you fight with honor… But why do you truly fight?

To understand our war, and why our Knights battle, we must seek the knowledge of things forgotten by most. The roots of our conflict go as deep as the very nature of the universe. The World was not always as it is today.

In the age before time as we know it, there was only the mystic void and the ancient, unformed energies. What initiated the change is beyond understanding, but the ancient energies began to gain substance. And out of this fabric of developing substance, a thread, a very special power, gained consciousness.

Logos was this being, and his impulse was to create a reflection of himself. It was he who shaped what would become the world of Carnac with its tall mountains, deep valleys and blue skies. Logos conjured water to carve the rocks, flood the valleys and fill the oceans. Soon the world was marvelous, like a turquoise jewel hanging in the mystic void. Logos was not satisfied, however. He felt that there must be others to experience the splendors of the rivers, oceans and lakes. The rocks and mountains were grand, but lifeless.

Drawing from the energies he had used to fashion the mountains, Logos created life. There were now fish to swim in the water, and trees to grow out of the dirt. Next appeared animals of the land and soaring birds to grace the sky. And lastly, Logos made humans, whom he created in his likeness. Humans were as Logos in that they too had the power to mold the world to suit their needs.

For a time all was well. Logos, called a God by the humans, was content and all of his creations rejoiced and prospered in the world bestowed to them.

It was soon to be undone.

In his haste to create humankind in his own image, Logos left a piece of energy half-formed. It lay forgotten in the darkest valley and there it stayed for centuries, waiting for its turn to be molded into something beautiful.

At first it was patient.

“Logos has a special plan for me,” it thought to itself. “Maybe he has not yet decided what to mold me into.”

However, as with all conscious beings shown some attention but then abandoned, its patience waned and it grew bitter. Instilled with a mind not so different from Logos, the forgotten piece of energy slowly willed itself into full shape. Not limited as humans were in their finished form, bit by bit it developed beyond them. With each transformation it grew ever more powerful, and ever more hateful of having been forgotten.

By the time Logos recalled the Forgotten One, it was far too late. An entity which named itself Pathos had come to be. It rivaled Logos in power and contained none of his compassion. Instead, it longed to twist what Logos had painstakingly created. As revenge, Pathos’ first act was to infuse the world with Change.

From Pathos’ act came the four seasons, day and night, life and death. This was not enough for Pathos as he wanted Logos to experience the pain and abandonment he had felt. Taking a handful of sand, Pathos infused within every grain what would be known as the sins of humankind, filled with sentiments and impulses as dark as those in Pathos. Each grain he took and planted into human nature. And with that act, people turned away from Logos. They learned greed, lust and a desire to dominate and destroy.

Hero Online is a masterpiece created by three generations of distinguished martial art novelists.The storyline is written by first generation martial arts novelist, Kum Kang, who utilizes a complex combination of story content and plot twists, free from prearranged paths, that brings a whole new gaming experience.

Player characters learn many skills and forms. Every form has its distinct motion, damage, and impact. While they will not available from the beginning, skills will be attainable as players’ skill-experience increase.

There are two skills that a Hero will have the ability to acquire: Movement skills and attack skills. By using both these skills players will have the ability to experience the acrobatic world of martial arts with great embodiments of realistic visuals.

* Movement Skills

With Movement Skills, characters will be able to:

• Fly over a building or wall
• Run and/or stand on water

* Attack Skills

Players will be surprised and pleased with the many creative attack movements and big effects found in Hero Online. Here, special attacks aren’t just a form of damage, it is an artistic expression that personifies (and visualizes) their animal form! In many games, players advance their characters by just killing monsters and completing quests. Depending on the setup of the game, this process may become tedious and unrewarding for many players.

* Reward System

from the site:
According to ancient legend, the hero, Qin Shi Huangdi (also known as Qin Shi Huang), put an end to an age of chaos and turmoil by unifying China.

Calling himself the “Son of the Sky”, Qin Shi Huangdi dreamed of one day becoming immortal.

So passionate was his ambition, Emperor Huangdi sent over 500 young boys and girls to Trinity Mountain as sacrifices, and hundreds of Taoist mystics throughout the land in order to ascertain the secrets of immortality. Tirelessly and mercilessly, Huangdi sought out and extinguished all those who opposed him while trying everything in his power to become a god.

Alas, as is the way of all mortal things, Qin Shi Huang was unable to prevent his death or the fall of his Imperial dynasty. All traces of his glory and wealth vanished from the world when his palace, Ah-Bang Palace, burned down after his death.
Many years later in the age of our fathers, two decades ago, the sun disappeared as darkness spread throughout the heavens and the earth. In this darkness, Twelve men, “Demons”, mysteriously appeared shaking the very foundations of the earth with their chaos and destruction. During this time many houses and clans banded together to fight the Demons, but to no avail. The famed houses of Tae-San Pa of San-Dong, Gun-Pa of Hae-Nam, Bok-Gun, Kwang-Dong, Myo-Gang, Sa-Chun, Ok-Mun Guan, Dae-Mak, and San Suh all fell under the hands of the Twelve Demons, leaving the people of the land helpless and fearful. As the Twelve Demons ravaged the people and land unchecked, the lands were awash with the blood of their victims.

In a massive effort to stop the Twelve Demons, Buddhist monks gathered all the demon hunters of the land to face the Unstoppable Dozen on the Field of Battle. 10,000 demon hunters rallied that day armed with spells and weapons of all shapes, form, and power. Nobody but the Twelve Demons survived.

Following the massive failure of the demon hunters, the legendary Shaolin monks resolutely gathered to face this evil force. Yet to the great dismay of the people, all hope for peace and tranquility seemed lost when even the legendary power of Shaolin could not stop the rampage of the Twelve Demons. The people’s hope ebbed and faded as they watched their center of martial power, the Shaolin Temple, burn slowly and painfully down to ashes.

But in the time of deepest despair and the darkest of days, a mysterious hero appeared and instilled hope. Devising a plan which utilized his superior skills, the mysterious hero lured the Twelve Demons into a trap where 3,000 of the hero’s best soldiers were awaiting. After ten long and grueling days of nonstop combat, all Twelve Demons were slain at the cost of all 3,000 of the hero’s men.

To this day, no one knows exactly why the Twelve Demons ravaged the land, but rumor has it that they were searching for Qin Shi Huang’s most prized possession, his Thousand Year Treasure…

After the dark days of the Twelve Demons, the world remained peaceful. The mysterious hero thrived as the leader of his own house of warriors, where all the greatest fighters gathered to join. The hero became known as the greatest fighter of all time, and the people labeled him The Great Dragon. For twenty years, the people of the land knew true peace as The Great Dragon upheld justice and fairness throughout the land. It was even foretold that as long as The Great Dragon lived, the people of the land would experience no danger.

But on a sad and twisted day, The Great Dragon was found dead with evidence of murder pointing towards someone within his house. Ironically, the alleged murderer was no warrior or fighter; it was his wife.

It is rumored, however, that upon discovering The Great Dragon, members of the house found his wife cradling his dead body repeatedly whispering, “They’re back….the Twelve of them have returned….”.

Upon hearing about the death of their hero, the people of the land were shocked and outraged. Panic spread across the land as they questioned each other. What of the prophecy? Will there be grave danger now that our hero has died? What exactly was the wife referring to when she mentioned, “the Twelve of them”? Could it be that the Twelve Demons have returned? Who will save us from them if they have?

Fear and apprehension spread like wildfire across the land as news of The Great Dragon’s death spread. Uncertainty reigned supreme in everyone’s heart. If the Twelve Dragons have truly returned from their graves, all of heaven and earth would be in grave danger, unless a new hero was to present himself …

Last Chaos is an on-line role playing game where thousands of players can simultaneously be connected, fight and upgrade their courage and battle skills through adventures, quests and crafting skills with fellow adventurers.

Set in the land of Iris, a place where anarchy, terror and ambition reign after an epic struggle between the Gods, players must use their skill and cunning to unite Iris and become its supreme ruler. Players acquire bravery, intelligence and strength to become the true emperor by accomplishing missions, learning crafting skills and experiencing adventures in the huge and unknown world.
In Last Chaos, players can go fight individually or team up in groups to fight monsters, other players, or complete quests. They can also form guilds and battle against other guilds for bragging right and supremacy over Iris.

from the site:
Long before war ravaged the lands of Iris, Eres, the God of Darkness joined with Apollon, the God of Light, to create the world of mortals. Both Gods poured into this world, and its inhabitants, qualities that were unique to each. To populate the world, Apollon created the Elves born out of his love and care for all living things. From Eres, Humans were created to be ambitious, anxious to explore and enjoy the world they lived in. One among many gifts to the people of Iris, the Ethereals were created to oversee use of magic in the world and teach the Irisians how to harness it’s use to better their lives.

Upon finding the world complete and to their favor, Eres and Apollon returned to their own realms to rest; Eres to Nephinth, the Realm of Darkness, and Apollon to Arosel, the Realm of Light. Occasionally the Gods would bless the Irisians with their presence, and bring along with them, their gifts. When visiting, Apollon’s presence brought joy and delight to the people, while Eres’ presence seemed to bring only woes and darkness in the heart of Irisians.

Eres grew jealous of the people’s love for Apollon, after all, hadn’t they both contributed to the world they so loved? He began hating Apollon and the world they had created. For ages he schemed while building a secret army deep within the depths of his world. Becoming totally engrossed with the task, his visits became less frequent and finally nonexistent. Over time Apollon’s visits became irregular as he noticed less rejoicing when he visited the people. It seemed without the contrast of Eres’ visits to dampen their spirits, the Irisian people had less need for the refreshment his presence brought.

Reign of Terror

At a time when the people of Iris had not seen or heard from either God in many generations, Eres chose to unleash his hordes. From the depths of Nephinth a bridge was created releasing into Iris thousands of orcs, werewolves, drakes and other terrible creatures born of hatred and evil. Eres created a dreadful race of enormous size, ferocity, and brute strength known as the Titans. By bonding them to his power flow, they received regenerating abilities and innate talents for battle making them the most fearsome warriors the world had ever seen. Having caught Apollon by surprise, the monstrous army swept across the land largely unchallenged. Infuriated by Eres’s treachery, Apollon responded by imbuing an army of humans, giving them great skill in weaponry, speed, and battle tactics. These elite warriors became known as the Knights of Apollon and were garrisoned in the city of Randol. The Knights were, and continue to be, a powerful symbol of Apollon’s love for the world and its people.

Both sides put out a call for mages, sorcerers, healers and rogues to join the battle. When thousands responded, father fought son and friend bested friend in what became a worldwide civil war. For generations the war continued with tens of thousands perishing by the sword, magic, or bow; most fighting for a cause no longer known beyond their own survival.

As the Irisians fought against the invaders and each other, in the Spirit Realm a climatic battle occurred between the Gods of Light and Dark. In his arrogance, Eres challenged Apollon to a duel to control Iris. Apollon accepted the challenge, hoping it a quick way to end the violence, and the two mighty beings clashed in the battle of the Ages. They fought in levels of power Mortals couldn’t imagine, incredible amounts of energy being used by each God in hopes of total destruction of the other. They matched blow for blow for what was many long bitter years in Iris, until each collapsed, exhausted from the exertion of fighting their equal. Both wounded and spent, they retreated to their respective realms to heal and recuperate. Knowing his bond to the Titans could not be restored, Eres severed his connection with them in order to preserve what power he had left. Apollon, happy the battle accomplished something other than Eres’ retreat, left his people with a promise of his return.

When their tie was broken with Eres, the Titans on Iris lost their greatest advantage. Instead of being nearly invincible, they became completely mortal allowing the Knights to slay them more easily and balancing the battle lines. With the odds more even, the two armies were at a standoff, neither giving ground. After years of not gaining an advantage, warriors of both armies succumbed to the fatigue of war and began deserting. The races became more withdrawn and isolated; battalions disbanded as Humans and Elves returned home to rebuild their shattered lives. Eventually only the Knights of Apollon and the Titans retained their structure as standing armies. After centuries of bloodshed, a time of relative peace fell across the land; skirmishes with Eres’s forces occurred only in distant lands.

As news of a new army amassing far in the North and West came, a conference was called inviting members from each class of the Irisian people to attend. Leaders from among the Knights, Rogues, Mages, Healers, and a small faction of Titans (who’ve turned against Eres) assembled in Randol to discuss the possible threat. Only the Sorcerers refused to attend, simply sending word that they had their own plans and would wait to see how life unfolded. Several days of heated discussion ended with nothing decided. Some members of the consortium voted to attack while others wanted to wait and see what happened or ignore the threat completely. The lack of direction has left the world of Iris in chaos without any strong alliance among its people.

In preparation for a possible invasion, the Knights have increased security around the city and scouts have been sent to ascertain the threat level. Additionally, spies have been discovered within the city; while werewolves and other evil creatures approach the city walls and attack citizens with more regularity. Skirmishes occur more frequently as friend turns into foe and groups are attacked by thieves and brigands. Squads of Knights have been sent out to patrol the areas and help keep the peace, but have had little effect. Another messenger has been sent to the Sorcerers asking for assistance; their reply has been a series of riddles to be solved. No one knows what solving them may do, but hundreds are doing their utmost to decipher the mystery of the Sorcerers.

Choose Your Destiny

A new summons has been issued for those faithful to Apollon to gather in Randol and unite against the possible new threat. Be you Titan, Knight, Mage, Sorcerer, Healer or Rogue; your friends can become foes as alliances shift. Greed and fear have sown the seeds of terror with endless battles, bloody betrayals, and insatiable ambitions. A call for help has been put forth asking for help to thwart the advance of the Eres’s forces. Will you support Apollon and all that is good to save the world from devastation or will you join Eres’s ranks and work towards destroying Iris with dreams of personal glory? The choice is yours to make, the life is yours to live. The balance of power is in your hands, choose wisely and enter into what is the Last Chaos.
