Kempten, Germany – On 19 February 2015, the online roleplaying game Illarion celebrates its 15th anniversary. Since 2000, a free, sparkling jewel among the online roleplaying games called Illarion stands its ground among the titles of major ... [More] studios.Nowadays, most know the bulky abbreviation „MMORPG“ for Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game. When Illarion evolved out of an academic project by three students of the Bundeswehr University Munich fifteen years ago, this one has been different. With clear emphasis on true roleplaying, Illarion attracts players that are not just out for wealth and experience points but want to embody a fictional role.Skilled crafter, noble knight, ambitious politician or blind beggar – the classic fantasy setting of Illarion offers a role for everyone to slip into. The world is forged by the unlimited interaction of the characters. Friendship and relations evolve. Love and hate, war and peace, trust and treason – roleplaying is not bound to any limits.Fifteen years of Illarion, this equals 45 years of the calendar in the game. The lore is not just based on made up legends and myths, but also on actual events that took place in the game. The characters still speak about the past Illarion Games, comparable to the Olympic Games, and the exodus from the land Gobaith. This event affected the game years ago and became part of the history of Illarion.Banduk, one of Illarion’s developers, elaborates: „With Illarion, we want to provide a truly free game where the actions of each player can forge the world. Our primary directive is: ‘We play with, not against each other.’”. By continuous development by volunteers, Illarion is adjusted to the wishes and demands of the community – even after fifteen years. This year, new dungeons were discovered and new, unknown items added to the game.Illarion is completely free, there is no monthly fee nor payments for items. The game works with Windows, MacOS and Linux. You can download it at http://www.illarion.org.A registered society called Illarion e.V. runs the game. Its 50 members provide the game to all the roleplayers in the world without generating any benefit from it. The game is released as “open source” according to the licence GPLv3.Discuss this news entry. [Less]
