]]> 06 Feb 2007 02:44:47 Ages ago, the universes were all connected through fantastic portals created, some say, by the gods themselves. These portals were used by royalty, travelers, merchants, peasants... anyone that had need to travel from one world to another could use them.

Whomever, whatever, however they were created was lost through the ages. Everyone believed that since the portals had existed since the beginning of time then they would last until the end of time. But then things changed.

Nobody knows exactly what happened. The disappearance of the portals are as much a mystery as their origins. The portals didn't all disappear at once. No, as my great-great grandfather tells it, it took about a year until the last known portal from this world to another was gone. The year was called the Year of Chaos.

Today, everything changed...

]]> 26 Jan 2007 10:16:31 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...

]]> 26 Jan 2007 10:36:18 What happens when you take Ragnarok Online, give it a slight facelift and, well, have it take cheapshots at everything under the sun?

]]> 15 Feb 2007 06:15:04 EUO is an Ultima-based online RPG with many influences, varying from Diablo-style hack'n'slash to NetHack quirks. It is closely tied to the Origin Ultima V RPG.

Created originally by eggmceye to be a rogue-like game named Balrog in 1998, it was quickly turned into an Ultima-like game with the discovery of an Ultima 4 tileset created by Josh Steele, giving the game its retro feel. Over the past nine years, it has slowly evolved into an online RPG with a small but growing fanbase spanning two servers, each one incorporating slighty different gameplay.

In those nine years, the game has grown from a four player only server to one that incorporates a full Ultima V magic system, including the Runic alphabet, crafting and creature taming. It also contains numerous easter eggs in tribute to NetHack.

----------------------------------------------------------
Developer's Note:

Avatar started originally as a class exercise in validating forms in PHP, but ended up becoming a full-fledged web game. There's 3-4 hours of playtime, but it is still quite incomplete.
The project might become active again in the future, in which you can expect: implement AJAX, character classes, abilities and skills, and other stuff!

Thanks for playing.

]]> 12 Jun 2007 06:52:05 Achaea is a MUD game that delivers much in the way of gameplay and also allows for a great degree of flexibility in the development of the story. The game is geared toward actual role-play and so is for an audience that is more interested than character development than it is in stats crunching and grinding. In Achaea you start of with many different classes and races to choose from and then are thrust into the world where you can befriend others and join clans or look for quests from NPC characters. Achaea is incredibly deep and complex and should definitely be tried at least once by those that are into actual role-play.
