Why you might like it

A free-to-play fantasy MMORPG notable for letting characters continue gaining experience passively even while offline.
Had a long and eventful decade-plus history, including an expansion (Rise of the Ourobani) and repeated attempts at relaunching under new ownership.
Originally launched under designer David Allen before being taken over by Derek Smart's Position Independent Games, giving the game one of the more dramatic behind-the-scenes histories in MMO history.

Before you play

Things to consider

Officially shut down in November 2017 after a troubled launch and internal leadership disputes; a 2022 “we're back” revival announcement was met with skepticism, including accusations it was tied to a cryptocurrency scheme rather than a genuine game relaunch.
As of the most recent community reports the game remains effectively offline, so treat any “it's back” claims with caution before investing time or money.
Multiple promised comeback dates have passed without a stable public relaunch, so look for very recent, verifiable server-status confirmation rather than older news.
