    Default Durasia

    Hello there!
    I am currently a member of the development team of Durasia.
    We are a 2d MMORPG based in 1450 CE.
    http://www.durasia.net
    Currently, we are in a beta phase testing the basics of the game. (There is still plenty to do, its just our plot and storyline have not been fully added yet.)
    Once this is complete, we will launch the full game. Our plans are to have a fully player operated feudal system. We introduce a new skill, called influence. Influence involves both personal achievements and popularity. From influence, comes the opportunity of power.
    Therefore, the social community is great, because everybody is working hard to make friends.

    For now, we are just building the maps and making quests and minigames, but we will soon add the ability to rise to power etc. Come now, and experience Durasia in this phase, as well as the next!

    Storyline and overview:

    You wake up early. It is not yet dawn. You climb out of your straw bed, get dressed, eat a little bread, and walk out into the cold. You are a peasant, working for Lord Dualarte in England. The year is 1450. You work long, hard hours, and the only way to gain freedom is to buy it.

    Thus begins your life in Durasia. From humble peasant to all ruling king, the possibilities are endless. From influence comes power. Those in power become royalty and lords. Influence is the combined sum of your popularity and your points.
    Popularity is determined by positive and negative time spent with other players. When you join, every player feels neutral towards you. As you spend time with them, however, their feelings toward you will change. This can be positive or negative. Participating in raid parties and quest parties boosts your popularity.
    Your points are determined by total levels, skills, quest points, and achievments.

    Though you can gain influence with only one of these aspects, your rise to power is quickly increased when these two values rise hand in hand.
    Durasa is ruled completely by its players. Rulers are chosen by the players by influence. Each player has his or her own shot at climbing the social status ladder, all the way up to King or Queen!
    Eventually, we plan to incorporate the creation of kingdoms. If a lord has enough followers, he can branch off from Durasia and create his own kingdom, either allied, neutral, or enemy toward Durasia. When this feature is added, all players can spend influence on edits to the game.
    Durasia incorporates all your favorite aspects of an online game. We have quests to complete, monsters to defeat, achievements and awards, and, a creation of our very own, power. Each player has power, to a limited degree. Middle Class has power over Lower Class, and even gain revenue from taxes. Aristocrats have power over the lower classes, with the added influence of gold to persuade them.
    We also have a special class, called "builders", which are currently the only non-staff players that build and edit the game.

    With the complete destiny of Durasia in your hands, what isn't there to love? You can gain respect, popularity and power, along with levels and points. The social aspect of Durasia is one of the things that makes it great. Everybody is striving to be the best person they can be, and it makes for a great experience.

    Join now, and experience the wonder and power of being a citizen of Durasia.

    Your destiny awaits you, in Durasia!

    I kinda like the idea, I also like old school graphics. The banner w/ the in-game screen shot kinda caught my eye. It looks a lot better than the other 2d games.(Mirage etc.)
