Features

A quick overview of what the Realm of Magic offers. Inside the game, features and help features give a similar list.

The game #

• A huge world: more than 25,000 rooms in over 300 zones, spread across nine continents and regions - see The World.
• Nine player races and five classes, with subclassing into other classes once you have mastered your own - see Races and Classes.
• Levels without a ceiling: 40 levels, then "staymortal" levels beyond; from level 101 you are a Mortal Archmaster.
• Equipment is saved when you rent at an inn or quit in your own home.
• Newbie-friendly: new characters start in Entrancity, an academy for newcomers, and there is a newbie channel (nsay) for questions.
• Roleplay is encouraged, but not enforced.
• One character at a time - playing several characters at once is not allowed (see the Policy).
• Limited player killing: fights between players happen in the arena, between players who have signed the book of blood, or under the mortal law with its elected judges - see Fighting.
• No character approval needed to start playing.

Things to do #

• Over 60 built-in solo quests, plus the random quest engine, which hands out assignments to suit your level - alone or as a group.
• Online quests run by immortals and players, and tournaments such as the Ryushichi rumbles.
• Explore, level, fight - or brew your own potions with alchemy.
• Rent your own shop in the Mortal Market, buy a home, bet, or play poker.
• Take on an office: the mortals elect their judges and a Realm Lord or Lady.
• Help build the world: immortals create new zones and quests.

Organisations #

• Orders - player orders with their own homes and channels.
• Groups - smaller circles of friends with their own channel.
• Guilds, Firms, Families and marriages.
• Secret societies and clans for those who roleplay their way in.
