Dateline 8/8/2012: WELCOME TO DRAGONREALMS

Welcome to DragonRealms!

You've stepped into the medieval fantasy realm of Elanthia, where you're the hero or heroine in a story of your own creation! Allow your dreams of adventure to sweep you deeper inside a world of magic and enchantment, a place where the choices you make determine your own path to glory.

DragonRealms is a complex, interactive roleplaying game with limitless possibilities to meet new friends and share adventures. Featuring an advanced HELP and ADVICE system to ensure that assistance is always just a keystroke away, DragonRealms also boasts a team of trained staff who are constantly working to make your playing experience even more exciting and in-depth. GameMasters are available to provide technical assistance, while a network of experienced players known as Mentors volunteer their time to act as guides for those new to the game's vast array of places, people, and adventure.

Choose from eleven different races, including favorites such as Elves and Dwarves as well as never-before-seen exotics such as the proud, feline Prydaen and sinuously scaled S'Kra Mur. Ten available character classes known as "guilds" further broaden the possibilities, allowing you to create a unique combination of extraordinary abilities and special skills to aid in your quest as you explore the diverse (and sometimes dangerous!) world of Elanthia. Choose the nomadic life of a lone wanderer or become a citizen in one of five richly detailed provinces, each offering a variety of bustling cities and ports, peaceful villages and remote outposts.

Will you become a rich merchant with a caravan of sumptuous silks, a powerful mage who commands the very elements, or a silent hunter prowling the forests? DragonRealms allows you to create and develop as many characters as you can imagine, focusing on a single adventure at a time or experiencing each one in turn as the mood strikes -- it's completely up to you. (Fifteen extra character slots are included with both Premium and Platinum accounts.)

Opportunities abound as you weave your own thread into the colorful fabric of Elanthia, a tapestry rich with illustrious orders, secret societies and political intrigue. You can be a part of history in the making as you interact with merchants, courtiers, pirates and villains! DragonRealms offers a constant flow of exciting events and happenings to enhance your roleplaying experience, many orchestrated not only by the GameMaster staff but also by players just like you. Elanthian holiday celebrations, jousts and tournaments, elaborate weddings and exclusive ticketed quests and festivals are only a few of the attractions offered to create a truly dizzying array of things to do and see.

DragonRealms is not merely an "online multiplayer game" -- it's a chance to experience a fantasy adventure unlike anything you've ever imagined.
