Reading everything is recommended before you join.
STORYLINE-
There has been a recent overpopulation of monsters among your fair land. Most of these monsters are quite fierce and deadly. The monsters have been attacking villages all across the land. You are a lone warrior seeking to help defend your people from the dangerous overpopulation.
GOAL-
You must upgrade your character to find the king of monsters, defeat him, and vanquish all his underlings along the way.
THE DETAILS-
You will need to travel around to different areas and upgrade your character as you prefer. Instead of choosing a class to begin with, you may upgrade your character to resemble a class you prefer. After you defeat a monster, you will gain some materials from it. You may use the materials to craft weapons and items or you may sell them for coins. The weapons you can wield and make, depends on your stats. (P.S. you may not always get materials from monsters.)
THE MAP-
There are many different places to explore throughout this RPG. The maps will be quite simple, since this is a RPG, not an adventure game. I'll summarize the map. Each player will start in the village of 'Rhoedia'. This village has (P.S. this is important if you want to go places): A general store (containing health poitions and various items for sale) A weapons store (from which weapons are bought and sold) The inn (used to restore health at a price) The bank (used to store money, weapons and items) And Several houses belonging to the locals.
The buildings are accessible from anywhere in the village. From Rhoedia, you can follow 'The Forest Trail.' You may venture off of or on to the trail at any time. When you go off the trail and into the wilderness for a while, is when you go to fight monsters. The deeper into the forest you go, the higher difficulty the monsters will be. But the harder monsters will give you more experience points and better materials. Once you get back to the trail, you may follow it to a big gate. This is all the map information I'll give you for now, the rest is for you to explore!
MONSTERS-
Monsters will vary in all sorts of shapes, sizes, stats, abilities, and locations. I'll inform you when you encounter a monster, what it is and what its stats are, before you try to fight it.
LEVELING UP
First off, you'll need 20 exp to level up, to level up again, you need to add %50 of what you needed before. Example: 20 exp will be needed to level up first, %50 of 20 is 10 so add those two together and you'll need to reach a total of 30 exp to level up again, %50 of 30 is 15 so add the two together and you'll need to reach a total of 45 exp, (When it's uneven, I'll round up for you) then a total of 68 exp is needed to level up again, then a total of 102 exp, then 153 exp, and so on. If you don't understand, it's okay, I will handle the exp addition anyway. After every level up, you will be able to upgrade your character with 4 extra points.

TIPS-
1. Just because you can go into an area doesn't mean it's safe. Monsters more powerful than you may be lurking around. 2. If you lose a battle you will immediately respawn at Rhoedia with half vitality. 3. You may "Ask a local" whenever you are in the village if you need some advice. 4. When you beat a monster, I will tell you what raw resources you gain, and put them in your inventory. At any time, you may "Attempt to craft an item from..." whichever items from your inventory, and with luck, you'll make a weapon, shield, or armor. 5.I recommend you balance out your character, rather than spend all your upgrade points on something like, agility. 6. You do have two hands, but two hands only. This means you can either hold one huge weapon, a weapon and a shield, or two light weapons.
Words from the creator (me)
I will try to be as active as I can, in order to keep up with everyone. I will only be able to handle 15-20 players. You may join at any time. Except for your vitality, experience points, and level, you will be in control of changing your own stats (But still monitored by me to prevent you from CHEATING), I will add things to your inventory as you collect them. As far as player-to-player interaction, it is encouraged. You may swap weapons, gold, and strategies as long as both players agree. Trades will also be overseen by me, so I can be aware of any inventory changes, and prevent mishaps. You may also battle the monsters in co-op, but the experience from the monster will be divided between the battlers. (P.S. This is going to be somewhat of a basic RPG, and you will not be able to use any magic attacks. Sorry if I disappoint you. I may make a more advanced RPG sequel to this one, if this one is successful. Then I'll include magic powers.)
Correct (On the first try! XD)! The door swings open slowly. Just as you enter, you see the thief close and lock the door behind him. This room looks like a small library with many book shelves, reading tables and chairs. A part of a wall opens up and releases about a dozen little goblins with little swords.

It scratches you as it attacks, but it wasn't quite powerful enough to poison you. You then stab it in the face. +5 coins. +6 exp. Level up! Choose four points to distribute to your stats.

As you are following its footprints, you see in the distance, a 9-foot cyclops. It has its back turned to you. And it looks like it's actually weightlifting with huge tree trunks.

You follow a trail of thick trees that have been broken at the trunk, when, in the distance, you see the 9-foot beast.
(You didn't add 4 points to your stats after you level upped! You should do that.)
(Oh. Sorry guys. The rest of my saturday is jammed packed. I won't be able to post anymore today. I'll be on tomorrow. And I hope you all are having fun so far!)

They all spread out, you manage to kill 4 out of the 10. Four stay in front to keep you busy while two sneak around behind and smack you.

You climb the tree, but he picks the whole tree out of the ground and just when he's about to smack you down, you leap off and smash his face and he dies. He dropped a small coin bag with 20 coins already in it! You can now carry 150 coins. He also has some super strong bones that you might be able to craft into a weapon. And he gave you +8 exp. Level up! Choose four points to distribute among your stats.
