Developed by Virtrium, the MMORPG Horizons: Empire of Istaria immerses players in an online fantasy world of magic and mystery. Istaria is a land populated by monsters, magic, heroes, and colossal cities. Horizons is the only fantasy MMORPG to offer gamers the opportunity to play as a dragon, earning skills and abilities as they grow from a hatchling to adult. Key features of Horizons: Empire of Istaria include: * 11 playable fantasy races: Dragons, Satyrs, Dryads, Humans and Elves populate the world and offer players distinct physical, mental and magical abilities * An open character class system: Learn skills from 50 schools while not being limited to one ‘class’. Players can change their character’s ‘class’ as often as they like with no penalty. * A real-time persistent world: Build and maintain structures, from simple houses to entire towns. Create businesses, process resources and develop economies within the game world by buying, selling and trading with other players. * Family-friendly gameplay: With a focus on cooperative, PvP-free gameplay, Horizons offers families a perfect place to enjoy a fantastical adventure. A friendly online community of players is always available to help new and seasoned travelers as they explore Istaria. * Virtually unlimited exploration potential: Soar through the skies as a flying creature, or dig deep into the earth when building a dragon’s lair. Istaria is a land without “zones” or predetermined player movement boundaries, thus allowing adventurers to explore the entire game world without limits. * “Drop in” play: Rather than penalize players with limited time to enjoy a game session, Horizons offers the perfect setting for quick “drop in” adventures for those with as little as 15 minutes available for a game session. Solo-gamer friendly gameplay doesn’t require players to join parties or form guilds. |
