Risk Your Life (RYL) is a real time MMORPG geared towards the PvP style of play. The game consists of two races who meet each other as they progress. There are two safe maps or islands for each race.General Premise
RYL is based primarily on a war between Humans (similar to traditional medieval humans) and Ak'Kans (resembling more demonic depictions of Orcs). This encompasses both PvP wars between both sides, as well as simple PvE. Another major objective in the game is the takeover of every one of five towers in the game, granting the leader of the guild the rank of Emperor (further details lower down)Classes and Leveling
The two races, Humans and Akkans, each have different class systems. Human Classes
The four basic Human classes are the Rogue, Mage, Fighter, and Acolyte. Each of these classes has two sub-classes associated with it accessible from Level 10 onwards. Choice of gender in the case of human characters has no bearing on the classes and sub-classes available. Rogue classes aim to Attack their Opponents using stealth skills. Mage classes use a variety of spells to damage, immobilize, and weaken their foes. Fighter classes wield mighty swords, axes, and hammers with which to pound their enemies into the ground. Acolyte generally stay out of battle while healing and buffing(adding bonuses to stats)they are very bad in Hand to hand combat and should not be played as a Player vs Player character in most situations. They are generally dependant on having a party (depending on the build) and some of the game may mean a certain amount off soloing for some characters if they cannot find a party, this makes the acolytes hard if they cannot find players willing to party them. Akkan Classes
The two basic Akkan classes are the Combatant and Officiator. Unlike Humans, Akkan classes are gender specific: male Akkans can only be Combatans, while female Akkans are only allowed to be Officiators. The Combatant class is much like the Human Fighter class in that the classes specialize in melee combat and skills. It also contains an Archer-like class that uses gun type weapons for long range fire. The Officiator class contains a mage-like class, an acolyte-like class, and a rogue-like class. They play much the same as the human ones but use different skills and items. Progressing Past Level 10
Upon reaching level ten, they can return to town and visit their class trainer that will train them in the ways of a more specialized class. At this point, the player can choose from two classes if they are of the Human race or 3 classes if they are of the Akkan race.The Akkan race is a mysterious species of evolved humanoids that humans meet when expanding their territory to a new island. Once a player reaches lvl 35-40 and move on to the other maps they are fair game to any players of the opposing race. Every player starts as one of two to four basic classes(depending on the race they chose) until they reach level ten.
This forms the main premise for the war between the Humans and the Akkan. The classes have lots of different skills which gives a lot of variety to the game. The two races have unique skills, items, looks, and even separate islands(although later islands are shared by both races).
When a player creates a character they choose a race, when you choose a race the rest of your characters can only be from that race, per server.
Currently the server limit for players is 300,000, pretty high for mmorpgs.
As mentioned above, the game is centered around PvP, combat realtime and intense. When characters reach higher levels they will probably join a guild. When players join guilds they will automatically become PvP enabled in certain parts of the world unless they are allianced with other guilds. When a guild leader decides to invade another guild he can set an invasion for his guild to attack another guild, sometimes battles of 100 vs. 100 players have occurred.[ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for Risk Your Life ]
