Re: A Contest! With Prizes!
Well, since Vin is still winning, I'll expand my previous one a bit more.
(Parts inspired by Ultima games)
--------------------
You stare out of your bedroom window, bored. Nothing to do, no where to go. Its raining, stormy.
Flash! Lightning strikes the ground outside your window. You run outside, smelling the scorched earth beneath you. Where the lightning struck, a strange rock lies...
Suddenly, without warning, an immense, strange blue bubble appears. It, it looks like some sort of gate!
DO YOU DARE TO STEP THROUGH?
Step through, and find yourself transported, beyond time and space, to the world of DEMISE!
What is the world of Demise?
Demise is a place to let your imagination flow, to get out of your 'real' self, a place where dreams are made reality, a place unique to you but home to many.
As a member of our FREE community, you can log on to a huge virtual world, where anything you can imagine can indeed be a reality.
Of course, there are all the things to be expected of a fantasy game of this sort. You can be an axe-wielding, sword slinging, spell weaving, mysterious adventurer, slaying monsters and helping out the good. Maybe you don't want to help the good? You want to kill THEM? Well that's good too! In fact, IT'S ALL GOOD!
Want to relax and try something different? Become a professional fisherman, or a beggar! With hundreds of professions to choose from, from Alchemy to Wrestling, you can be who you want.
Be a hearty blacksmith, making weapons for your army, or be a cook, feeding your army! We all know an army marches on its stomach!
Be an archer, a mage, an animal tamer, a paladin, a samurai, a ninja, and MANY MORE. In fact, we have over 50 skills in which your character can specialise.
With a built-in player owned houses system, you can own your own house. Build it where you like, choosing from preset designs, or just make an entirely new house from scratch! Building materials including wood, stone, bamboo, waterfalls, lava, marble, and more are available with which you can construct your dream house. Add that personal touch, decorate it how you want, from bear-skin rugs, paintings, urns, and more!
Open your house as a shop, which you can stock with a computerised character who will sell your treasures on your behalf while you're not there.
Gang up with your friends! With a guilding system, you can band together, wage war on another guild or faction, talk to each other anywhere in the world, and kill monsters that would be tough alone.
Players new to Ultima Online entirely? Never fear! Ultima Online was one of the first online multiplayer games, and it is still one of the best! Demise is a recreation of this game, a modern, accurate, up-to-date clone of the official Ultima Online world.
Don't be afraid if you are new. The game is easy to pick up, and quick to get the hang of. Experienced players are courteous, and many will help you out as a new player.
Don't fear that better players can kill you at the drop of a hat. Demise features multiple 'worlds' where you are completely safe from other players, and you can train or gather resources in peace.
If you DO want to combat other players, then there is a world where, basically, anything goes. Murder, theft, deceit and lies are abound, and so is the fun!
What does Demise do differently to other places offering the same? Well, with dedicated staff members, enthusiastic crafters, deadly player-killers, righteous paladins, and many more, we believe you will not find better anywhere on the net!
Other websites offering the same might not be so up-to-date as we are here. We have access to exotic weaponry, armour, and items that you will find fully active here, taken straight from the official game.
Access the most up-to-date weaponry, such as samurai and ninja weaponry. Use mysterious elven items and abilities. Cast deathly necromancy spells, and much more, that you won't find on any other free shards.
Did I mention that we're free? As in completely free?
You can download the game free, install it free, sign up for free, and play, all for free!
