Illarion Roleplay Enforced MMORPG

[Seger]

Illarion is an online game where genuine roleplay is enforced. The main design principle is a focus on the interaction with other players. All the player characters you will encounter during your time here are living, breathing inhabitants of the mysterious world of Illarion. Each character has its own past, goals, strengths, flaws and personality. Experience glorious adventures as noble knight or live the life of a hardworking craftsman, acquisitive merchant or charismatic priest of the gods. Noble Cadomyr, wealthy Galmair or wise Runewick - whose side will you join?

https://illarion.org/general/us_startpage.php

You can bring patriarchy and slavery back to Cadomyr, Play as clan of orcs in sewers of Galmair or as an arrogant wizard in Runewick, Join the evil lich Jefferson Gray or fight against him! (Or something entirely new! what you do is up to you)

I found a trailer for the game but is 7 years old.



Peak player count of 20? What happened?

Roleplay (IC and OOC) games are not very popular.

Does half the player base speak German and the other half English?

No other than few players all speak English, and all of those who speak German can speak English as well.

I have only seen people play it, but it reminds me a bit of Runescape in some way. From my experience playing Space Station 13 I am not too good with typing a reply in time to simulate any sort of actual dialogue or conversation though so I would, unless there is voiced as the use of Discord and the creation of a chat room suggests (though I am unsure if the HQ chat has voice ability), probably be some silent character killing things or similar.
I am a bit hesitant to make an account though, will need to make a new email for it to at least try it out but am not sure when that might be (especially loving that desert place!).
Could you tell more of the combat and classes? I am not into chatting and usually mime my interactions in games like World of Warcraft and flee when people want to talk, but maybe this game will grow on me.

Just like Runescape there are no classes, combat is rock paper scissors.

Ranged weapons cannot attack people just standing one step away from them

Heavy armor strong vs stabbing and ranged weapons BUT weak vs blunt weapons
Medium armor strong vs slashing weapons BUT weak vs stabbing and ranged weapons
Light armor strong vs blunt weapons BUT weak vs slashing weapons

Then there is magic which will hit hard if you don't have high magic resistance skill and high willpower

You can create an orc character which talks broken like this : Meh smash yoo puny shorty
Or a mute character

That sounds quite interesting to try out! Thank you for the information!

Looks like a janky version of UO.

Boiler-plate fantasy races...humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, orcs, lizards?

When we jumping in?

[rusty_shackleford]

Can we enact total orc death?

[Seger]

Can we enact total orc death?

It will be easy to do, as there are like 2 orc players in whole game.

You can bring patriarchy and slavery back to Cadomyr, Play as clan of orcs in sewers of Galmair or as an arrogant wizard in Runewick, Join the evil lich Jefferson Gray or fight against him! (Or something entirely new! what you do is up to you)

You don't seem to have a clear plan of what we're supposed to be doing here. I thought this was supposed to be YOUR idea. This is a terribly uncoordinated invasion.

And I already told you there is no invasions planned, I am just introducing some game and mentioning its features.

[Norfleet]

Then how exactly are we supposed to be a clan of orcs, or whatever? If you don't have a plan, shouldn't we vote on what theme we're going to do or something? How exactly is this supposed to work?

[Finarfin]

Ignore Norfleet. Seger.

I meant you can be, I didn't say you are supposed to be.
I was just giving out ideas.

Excerpt from mainland lore:

Fennsworth is known for its emphatic refusal of other races. Elves, dwarves, fairies, goblins, gnomes, lizards, orcs and others may only enter the town as slaves being accompanied by their “owners” and they have to stay away from public places.

Husbands not keeping their wives and daughters at a chain or line in public places have to pay a fine of three silvers. Slaves addressing a villain or citizen or looking into their eyes, are punished with ten whippings, their “owners” have to pay a fine of ten silvers.

Delegates of non-human races or foreigners who are caught without owner or royal permission within the town walls are immediately beheaded and impaled.

[Tangerine]

Should have opened with that.

[Tweed]

Yessa massa! I sho will picks dem crops when we gets home! Oh lawdy! Hows I wished I'd been born a human instead of dis filthy greenskin.

[asf]

enforced faggotry is always a cringe fest

If Tweed plays he should be kept safe as an honoured lizardkin.
