Key Alganon Features

MyAlganon

• An online social-networking site that can be used by players of all MMOGs
• Ties directly into game data from Alganon, and vice versa.
• There is no need for guilds to find web space. MyAlganon provides this for them.
• Groups, forums, news are all enhanced through the MyAlganon interface.

The Library
Both the Asheroth and Kujix capital cities contain a grand library. Players who are contributing to the Library must contribute the information in person while Access to the Library is available from anywhere within the game via the User Interface. Through this interface, players can research items, creatures, magic, tradeskills, and learn about the history of the world and what families, guilds, and people have made amazing achievements. These libraries serve as the central hub of information for each side.

Deities & Crusades
Multiple gods allow characters to represent different powers, teachings and knowledge. One player who declares patronage to a specific deity may find in a certain part of the world, the creatures are drawn to destroy them with much more ferocity than another.

Crusades are the conquering wars that are declared by deities and their followers. Generally the most powerful followers of a deity declare the crusades, such as "wipe every orc from the face of the world", which may gain additional Karma for those who engage in the crusade.

Crusades can also empower players; using the previous example, perhaps every character that is part of the religion that has declared the crusade against the orcs receives an additional damage modifier to all orcs for a period of time.

Action, Ability, Skill and STUDY Systems
Character Progression in ALGANON is based on four core system.

• Actions are what characters carry out during game play, such as a special attack or a tradeskill, etc.
• Abilities represent a point-based distribution system allowing the character to focus on specific class-based specialties.
• Skills are the underlying methods of growth in utilizing certain areas of class-based focus, such as a character's skill in swords, or a specific profession.
• Studies are the core support base for all other systems, allowing characters to grow over time at the same rate as all other players, regardless of online status.

Companions
Taming animals and controlling creatures with magic is part of playing specific classes in ALGANON. These companions will grow with their master, protect them, and can even have their look customized. Pets will be available to all classes, but most pets will be unable to participate in combat.

Consignment
While the Auction House is for the sale of items, Consignment is for players to post requests for items to be made or found. This allows players to set up and participate in player-based "item quests" within the Consignment house.

Enhanced Appearance
A character's appearance is directly affected not only by the weapons and armor, but their actions and power. For example, the more powerful a Kujix becomes, the darker their eyes will be, and the more powerful an Asheroth becomes, the more their eyes will glow.

In-Game Maps
Alganon maps will contain a tight "Fog-of-War", showing a player exactly where their character has been. This will be much tighter around the character than most MMOs, offering an unprecedented level of assuredness as to where you were, are, and where you are going.

World History
Much of this history is available to the players through the library, but much of it must be discovered.

Alganon features two large continents. The Asheroth-controlled continent of Ardonya, and the Kujix-controlled continent of Harraja. Both continents have all types of terrain spanning forests, fields, plains, deserts, mountains, jungles, swamps, and tundra.

Client Customization
ALGANON will ship with a custom-built LUA scripting system allowing players to create custom interfaces or enhance existing ones.
