In the game, players assume the role of a Warrior, Cleric, Wizard, or Thief (over 20 classes) and explore the many beautiful and exotic locations within the game where they meet other players, complete quests, fight monsters and other players. Massively multiplayer online games are computer games in which thousands of players can play simultaneously through the Internet. In 2003, 88 million people played online games worldwide, a number that is expected to grow to at least 198 million by 2008.
Instead of monotonous individual games, RYL players can now interact with hundreds or thousands of other players from all over the world and undertake the adventure of a lifetime together," said Kevin Donovan, president, Planetwide Games. The graphics and smoothness of gameplay is among the best in the world, developed over 5 years with
over $30 million invested in development costs."
RYL also offers hundreds of quests within each game, plus advanced real time 3D and environment effects give players the realistic feel of an amazing fantasy world. Maximum game resolution has been increased from the typical 800x600 pixel resolution to 1600x1200 to enhance the experience of the lushly rendered graphical landscapes.
Players start off at Level One, with minimal skills and abilities, but over time they gain experience points, which allows them to advance to Level Two, and beyond. As each level opens up, the player can find new and more interesting abilities and can survive in battles against more interesting monsters. This level advancement is the incentive that makes players continually play the game and maintain their accounts for months or years.
