Alganon - Overview

"In ALGANON, players will be able to build powerful characters utilizing a new and unique skill and study system combination that blends real-time character growth and action/reaction based play. Representing one of two sides, the Asheroth or the Kujix, ALGANON enhances the current MMOG experience by adding new levels of community and immersion on top of the traditional MMOG feature-set through the Enhanced Account, Family, Library, Deity, Crusade, and Dynasty systems. Designed from the ground up for appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers, ALGANON will attract both PvE and PvP players alike. Featuring a rich history spanning thousands of years, the world of ALGANON offers gameplay in dozens of different realms, all featuring unique immersion, look and feel, tied directly to the history for each realm. With an ancient world rich in magic and inhabited by hundreds of different species, players can move between the two massive continents through a number of transportation methods including airships and transports. Numerous dungeons, ruins, and unexplored realms await for players to explore and conquer. "

Alganon uses a system where skills, and supportive skills, attributes, abilities, and other modifiers, are raised based on how the character interacts with the world. While Alganon does not use "levels" to reference or limit character growth, there is a "power rating" value assigned to each living creature. This number generically encapsulates the overall "power" of a specific being; including a character.

Players are "born" into families; they cannot choose. Every family has its black sheep, and if a player does not like their family, they can form their own guild, and make a conscious decision not to interact with their family.

Teaming up with other players is critical for many of the quests and crusades in the game - and a requirement to take on many of the legendary creatures in the world. Players can form parties of up to 6 people. Party leaders can then band together to form Battalions, which allows up to 36 people total. The leaders of those Battalions can then choose to form massive Legions of up to 216 players.

Both the Battalion and Legion interfaces support unique command options where the leaders can easily transmit commands to specific groups, and even classes within their organisation. A legion has one warlord leader that can issue orders to all battalions and parties within the legion, allowing for specific and concise orders to be relayed.

Alganon is planing on implimenting a system where a character can 'study' or learn a new skill while being offline.

In addition to static quests, Alganon will have custom dynamic quests that are unique for each character. These quests are designed to add variance to the system and provide unexpected rewards.

Alganon is a PvP optional game (depending on server choice). A core set of rules will exist where players can enjoy the content without constantly being under attack from members of the opposite faction. Within a PvE world, players will have the option of turning their PvP flags on or off. [unknown]

Long ago, the world of Alganon was born unto the gods as a gift from the universe. Out of respect to the universe for its gift, the gods blessed Alganon by creating a master race of giants. These ancients were known as the colossus-born. They were the children of the gods, and were said to be towering creatures of such size and might they could move mountains with only their hands... more lore...
