You may begin the journey to explore the world of unknown alone, but you may come out on the other end with numerous new friends through hunting and chatting. If you're tired of hunting and competition, how about playing minigames with a friend for a change?<br />
<br />
You'll become a brave adventurer protecting the Maple World, and if you're exhausted from all the intense battles and competition, you may one day build your own house at a quiet rural village, enjoying the life of a recluse who welcomes visitors.<br />
<br />
At Maple Island, you will learn from the NPC's simple hunting skills and basic control of the game to help you ease into the game. Then, you'll board the ship that heads to Victoria Island, and that's where your journey REALLY begins.<br />
<br />
From Lith Harbor that welcomes you from a long journey from Maple Island, you'll run into such fascinating towns as Henesys - the village of bowmen with comfy mushroom-shaped houses gathered together; Ellinia - the village of magicians with mysterious spells embedded between tall trees; Perion - the village of warriors with the fighting spirit typical of the Indians living in highlands; and Kerning City - the village of thieves that reminds you of the back alleys of dark cities.<br />
<br />
You'll be playing the game at Victoria Island where all these diverse and unique towns and fields coexist.<br />
<br />
Here, you are going to be just a regular gamer hunting down monsters and protecting yourself in the process. You'll be given 4 paths to choose from, 4 that will define your life in MapleStory: Warrior, Bowman, Thief, and Magician. Through leveling up and meeting some requirements, you'll be able to make job advancements and nurture your character in your own, unique way.<div style="clear:both;"></div> ]]></description>			<pubDate>26 Nov 2006 07:31:06</pubDate>		</item>		<item>			<title>Second Life</title>			<link><![CDATA[ http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/game/secondlife/?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss ]]></link>			<description><![CDATA[ <img style="float: left; clear: left;" src="http://static.greatgamesexperiment.com/userimages/e/ee74229e6497efbf25bee003e16c378c_sq.png" title="Second Life Image" /> Second Life is a 3D digital world imagined, created and owned by its residents.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
   <br />
Thousands of years ago a species that would later call<br />
themselves &quot;Lutians&quot; rose from the center point of Yue,<br />
known as &quot;Vita Genero.&quot; These strange creatues had an ability<br />
forsaken to all other creatures; conscious thought. The Lutians<br />
view the Yue as a source of power and use it for many purposes<br />
including magic.<br />
<br />
Many Lutians believe that they were chosen by the Yue,<br />
others believe that they, like other living things were the<br />
result of random creations by it . This led to many<br />
wars and still divides many lutians today.<br />
<br />
Over the last hundred years some very strange things<br />
have emerged very close to Vita Genero, where the first<br />
Lutians emerged. These creatures came to be known as the<br />
Nosaeron. They have caused many kingdoms to fall around vita genero,<br />
and seem to have no purpose other than to destroy all life.<br />
<br />
Now two kingdoms, Patrian and Ipcus, are fighting over the<br />
nature of these creatures, The king of Patrian believes that<br />
these creatures have somehow disrupted the Yue to use their power<br />
to rule the world, and the king of Ipcus believes that the Nosaerons were<br />
created by the Yue to get rid of the Lutians. The one and only thing the<br />
two kings can agree on is that they must find the true nature of these creatures<br />
and stop them at all costs.Both kings have ordered a call to arms of all their citizens<br />
to discover the true nature of the Nosaerons, and seal them away forever.<br />
<br />

<br />
General Notes<br />
<br />
   Illutia is a 2d anime mmorpg began under the original name<br />
&quot;Aspereta&quot; In April of 2003. It was released mostly just as a test<br />
run to see if there was still a market for 2d mmorpgs. Aspereta<br />
became more popular than the small team ever imagined with over<br />
50,000 accounts in less than a year. This encouraged Crazed Monkeys<br />
to push hard to meet the expectations of their fans.<br />
<br />
   Now as of June 2005 Illutia (formerly Aspereta) is finally ready for<br />
beta. We hope you enjoy this new version of the game as it is capable<br />
of much more than we could have dreamed of for Aspereta.<br />
<br />

genre! We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it!<br />

<br />
Armada Online is in Open Alpha status. This means that while a majority of game play components (ships, movements, skills, advancement, etc.) is in place - most of the game content is still under development. Even so - Armada Online's alpha game is incredible and complex. There will be plenty for any new player to learn and enjoy and new content is being added continuously. Because it is in alpha status, be patient with any glitches and actively report them and your feedback to the official Armada Online forums to help improve the game for all. That's what open Alpha tests are for.</blockquote></div><div style="clear:both;"></div> ]]></description>			<pubDate>23 Jun 2007 05:03:53</pubDate>		</item>	</channel></rss>
