Horizons is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) set in a world of legend and lore. Filled with humans, elves, dragons and many other creatures and races, Horizons allows players to adventure alone or together in a world of boundless excitement, exploration and if they choose it – danger. Horizons is filled with cities and towns, castles and strongholds, villages and mystical structures, in environments ranging from tropical jungle and arctic tundra to windswept plains and mountainous wilderness. Players may choose their path within the world – Explorer, Miner, Crafter, Wizard, Warrior or Settler of the new frontier. Live in the civilization of the Empire or venture into the unknown and create an empire of your own. Players may purchase a plot of land that they can build their home or business on – shops, gardens, workshops – it’s their reality. Friends and guilds can cooperate to build a frontier town, bustling merchant community or mighty defended fortress. Those that build in the wilds of the frontier must defend their community against marauding hordes by supporting a champion or taking up arms themselves.
Horizons allows players to build what they want and also be what they want. As a skilled craftsperson, they can build homes or forge mighty weapons or even give their fellow players outrageous hairstyles or tattoos. Earn wealth, prestige and experience by plying your trade.
