Legends of Karinth:  massively modified ROM, free for play.  Donations gain the player our warmest thanks and deepest gratitude (but no game advantage). We've been open for gameplay during the entire development cycle, and we are not setting a date to leave beta - instead we are working toward a set of fulfilled conditions, at which point we will release.

The storyline is unique to the game, and is visible at our website ().  Various portions of the world reveal themselves over time, although time itself is a debatable and very sensitive topic. The timeframe is medieval; the landmass or continent is not identifiable. The world is approximately 3000 miles wide and 2000 miles tall, with elevated wilderness (no seeing through mountains or around hillsides).

We place a strong emphasis on roleplay, but we do not fall into the RP-enforced genre.  Combat is a mainstay, and our combat system is customized and highly strategic-based.

There are no classes; there is no canned magic. The player defines himself by the paths chosen, and any path is available to anyone if they're willing to work for it. To use magic, the player must study the spellcraft, then scribe the spells he wishes to use, in the manner he wishes to use them.

Our current development focus is on the trading system and ships, to be followed by resourcing and object production.  (I always hesitate to use the term 'crafting' as it tends to raise negative connotations of grinding and repetitive motion.)
