Requiem: Rise of the Reaver

Requiem: Rise of the Reaver (formerly Requiem: Bloodymare, later Requiem: Memento Mori) is a horror-themed MMORPG originally released by Gravity in 2008, set in a barren world scarred by science-and-magic experiments gone wrong. Players choose from four races — Turan, Kruxena, Bartuk, and Xenoa — fight through a poisoned, mutant-filled world, and can transform into powerful beasts to increase their strength. Gravity Interactive announced plans to shut the game down in 2021, but a small dedicated team stepped in to keep it running instead; as of 2024 it continues operating under the newer name Requiem: Desiderium Mortis, maintained by a minimal volunteer staff.
