If you've ever thought of playing Armageddon...

Now's the time to stop thinking and start playing.

The game administrator has announced an HRPT (Highly Recommended Playing Time) for Sunday, July 28 beginning at 2PM server time (that's eastern time). HRPTs are game-changing events.

For those who've never considered playing an "extreme" roleplaying game, Armageddon has these features:
steep learning curve
permadeath with no resurrections
no global chat channels at all (there -is- an OOC command that echoes only to the room you're in, an Out-of-Game helper system comprised of volunteer players, and a "wish" system to communicate directly with available staff in case of immediate and pressing need - there is also an extensive "request tool" via the website for non-immediate communication with staff)
all dwarves are hairless
all elves steal and no elves ride mounts
nobles are noble by birth rather than by exp points
the lowest scum of the planet can rise to greatness
a unique magick system in a world where magicks are either outlawed entirely, or strictly controlled - depending on the location
crafting system with both "template" crafted items -and- custom crafted items
based loosely on the concepts of Frank Herbert's "Dune" series, mingled with concepts of Dark Sun (Athas).

If the idea of getting in on a world-changing event in a game with a 20-year history and a loyal player base over several hundred (playing at various times - average before supper is around 40 players - average after supper and before bedtime is usually up to around 80 these days), then this is the time to start.

Remember - get your characters started well in advance of the HRPT, so you won't feel lost and will have maximum fun during the week leading up to it (these things don't just happen - there is an ongoing plot - or possibly more than one - leading up to whatever will happen that Sunday - it is not scripted in advance, no one - not even the staff - knows what will happen or how it will end, until it happens).

Armageddon is entirely, completely, and utterly free.
