How to Play RPG Games Seriously - Introduction to the RPG Avalon; The Legend Lives
Online RPG games are very special multiplayer internet games. Those who play RPG games will quickly learn that their great beauty lies in the gaming communities that spring from within the interactive, multi-user games environment and which are interwoven into the very fabric of the most playable online RPG games. There are many types of RPG games but we are concerned here with those which are specifically of the fantasy or adventure game genre.
RPG games can be further sub-categorised in many ways, the order of light exists online in a virtual role play world often referred to as a MUD or RPG. These are lands of adventure filled with mighty knights wielding legendary swords, mages armed with magic spells and rituals. Not to mention evil sorcerers, avaricious alchemists, cunning thieves, joyous bards, altruistic druids, farsighted seers and stealthy rangers; woodcrafty beyond compare.
These are examples of just some of the character types invented by those who play RPG games online and are often referred to as 'classes'. The order of light exists in the land of Avalon where these classes are 'professions' and each profession has one or more guilds associated with it. For example the very playable Mage profession has four guilds, one in each city of the land. A member of the Mage profession has all the basic skills each character has, plus the special Mage skills, and depending on the outlook of the guild a member may use his or her magic spells to play the RPG for good or evil. The outlook of a guild is usually dictated by its guildmaster, a guild member elected to guide the guild. Guilds usually reside in one of the four human cities. These cities are run by the players of the RPG games as they see fit; electing trusted citizens to lead the city to prosperity in times of peace and to victory in the event of war.
The Gods of Olympus in Avalon RPG
The gods and goddesses of Olympus watch over all those who play RPG Avalon, each of whom has their own realm such as Light or Time or Chaos. If a deity so wishes, they may project their influence across Avalon RPG through the ranks of their followers - their order in other words. Their order are also real life people who play characters. The gods exist despite the mortal population and they may choose to help or hinder on a mere whim or to further some grand strategy or design that they favour within the RPG game. Each deity was once a mortal who has succeeded in the greatest task of all; the quest for Ordination, and thus transcended the mortal ranks. Many who play RPG games agree this is what helps make Avalon so special. With all these hierarchies and communities, often conflicting loyalties, friendships and enmities, Avalon is truly the pinnacle of RPG games online.
