Over 100 new abilities in Achaea!
 

Achaea added over 100 new individual abilities this last weekend, completely changing how our PvE hunting works! Every one of our 17 classes has gotten five new abilities for PvE, and each of the six colours of Dragon you can eventually earn (by getting to level 99) has gotten five new abilities as well.

All of these abilities are part of the new Battlerage system, where players accumulate Rage by hunting mobs/NPCs either individually, or in groups where each player in the group gets a portion of the Rage generated by every other player in the group. The abilities themselves range from pure damage, to damage-over-time, to various afflictions, to charming, to conditional abilities that require comboing with another player.

It's gotten fantastic reviews from the players so far!

"This is so much cooler than I expected it to be." - Tael

"I am actually addicted to hunting now." - Makaela

"I think this is probably the best change I've seen in a long time." - Daeir

"Paladin battlerage abilities are f****** awesome." - Aodfionn

If you're looking for a MUD where the (full-time, professional) admins work their asses off week in and week out to bring you the best experience possible, Achaea's a great choice.

The additions to the HTML5 client GUI (that complement the new Battlerage stuff) are awesome as well :)
