Introduction to Apocalypse
 Welcome to Apocalypse! Apocalypse is a browser-based MMORPG,
where everyone plays in the same world, a world filled with magic, technology, and
few rules. Drawing upon the many concepts that have made RPGs exciting throughout
the ages, Apocalypse tries to recreate the feel of a tradition pencil-and-paper RPG
through the decisions and choices your character has to make.
There are several free MMOG (massive multiplayer online games) out there, but
Apocalypse is the only one of its kind that gives full access to the entire
game to the free player. Some other free MMOGs have special areas or content
that is only accessible to the premium subscriber, while others even go so far
as to restrict the development of your character or how far they can advance
in levels or skills! Not so with Apocalypse -- we believe it takes all the
fun out of the game when someone is better than you just because they spent
money and you are playing for free. Our free players can become just as strong,
fast, and deadly as our premium subscribers, and every item, quest, skill, and
zone is fully accessible.

Apocalypse tries to be a combination of all the elements of pencil-and-paper,
tabletop RPGs that made them so fun to play. This means that you have stats,
equipment, magic, skills, technology, special abilities, get to fight monsters,
wizards, dragons, and "level up" (advancing your character), but it also means
there is a focus on creating a consistent, enjoyable game "world" to immerse
yourself in. Built as a MMORPG (massively multiplayer online RPG), all players
exist simultaneously in one all-encompassing world, permitting a greater level
of player interaction and cooperation than is possible by normal RPGs, or indeed
even by pencil-and-paper RPGs. Not only can you interact with and socialize with
your fellow players in the world, but you can even join them in combat against
common foes or in shared quests (coming soon).
