Re: LFM: Manual Combat + RP

Unwritten doesn't fulfill all of your desires, but it might be worth looking into anyway.

Needs

Manual combat:
Very manual. Every attack is done manually. You can target limbs for various tactics, and strategically using your abilities is fairly important.

RPE/RPI: The exact designation is debatable, but roleplay is heavily enforced, and the main focus of the game.

Free to Play: The game is completely free. You can choose to donate money for a few things that are easy to get without paying, and don't effect gameplay in any significant way. (I mostly use it for description alterations)

Wants

Immersive environments: We most definitely have those. The room (and everything else) descriptions are long and everything mentioned in them are actual objects in the room that can be interacted with to varying degrees.

Classless system: Well, we have classes. However each character can choose to innate any skill, making it at least decent.

Guilds:
There are some player run organizations that are sort of like guilds. From the Imperial Guard (I'm sure you can guess what they do) to the Recklar Insane Asylum and Mechanist Society.

RPK: There is very little pk, and it's generally severely punished by the Guard if someone chooses to raise a complaint. We do have an arena where you can have a friendly bout with no exp loss.

Decently active playerbase: I would call our player base decent. Around 15-20 players at peak times.

A few things that are nice, and aren't on your list:

The Exp Buffer let's you fill up on exp, then RP while it absorbs.

The clothes. Holy crap. The owner of the game is a fashion buff, and the available clothing comes from all over the world and from a wide variety of time periods up to the current approximate Renaissance era.

You can wear as much clothing as you want, and up to 3 items per slot remain visible.

There's a layer command to hide things you don't want visible. (Like underwear, or extraneous containers.)

The lore. Take a look at the website, and you'll see how much background has been written for the game. Even more is available through ingame bookstores and libraries, and word of mouth.


There's a very simple application to be whitelisted, which usually takes a day or three to process. (Staff are all volunteers!)
