The player, when creating a character, is not only able to choose the gender of his/her character, but what kind of weapons their character will be using. These weapon proficiencies may or may not affect the job class people will choose when they reach a certain level for job change. Each of the four characters specializes in his or her own weaponry. For example &quot;The Ruthless Blade&quot; is currently the only character in the game with the ability to wield a bow.<br />

Ares, Greek god of war, has become resentful of his fellow gods, and wishes to gain more power in order to defeat them. However, the Greek city-states are already warring, and Ares must find new lands in which war can be started. At the same time, the land of Arabic is at a restless peace, with the leaders of both The Holy Empire, and The Religious Alliance ready to break it. Ares travels to Arabic, appearing to Emperor Damion of The Holy Empire as a crow, and incites him to attack the Alliance. Athena, Ares' sister, gains knowledge of this plan, and also travels to Arabic, and informs the native god Kulam of the foreign gods intrusion. Under her guidance, Kulam convinces Aleria, the daughter of Alliance leader Abner, to retrieve an artifact that could confine Ares and prevent him from completing his plan.<div style="clear:both;"></div> ]]></description>			<pubDate>29 Jan 2007 07:05:17</pubDate>		</item>		<item>			<title>Albatross18</title>			<link><![CDATA[ http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/game/albatross18/?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss ]]></link>			<description><![CDATA[ <img style="float: left; clear: left;" src="http://static.greatgamesexperiment.com/userimages/1/1b6c3d479affc9d1ceacadbaea36c7f0_sq.jpg" title="Albatross18 Image" /> Massively Multiplayer Online Golf.
