History VideoGame / EpicDuel

* BareYourMidriff: Oh, and do they ever. Female characters in the "Tech Mage" or "Mercenary" classes start off with bare midriffs, and many of the [=NPCs=] (Anya, Talia, Valestra) and equippable armors feature bare midriffs for women.
* BigBad: Baelius

* HotScientist: [[http://twitpic.com/4u8o06/full Cinderella]] (also note {{HeroesWantRedheads}})and [[http://www.epicduelwiki.com/images/thumb/5/55/Talia.png/800px-Talia.png Talia]]

* OurMonstersAreDifferent : Introduced during the War for Frysteland, Delta V's mountain people are known as {{Krampus}}, and their costume reflects the more traditional Krampus (the Krampus Trader and Krampus Warrior characters wear goatlike gas masks, and King Alaric wears a giant horned headdress). The Yetis also fall under this trope.

* LegoGenetics: Boss character "Armor Hazard" was created by transfecting an embryonic BioHazard with Armor Beetle genes. This is basically how Alydriah corrupts the wildlife.

* ArtEvolution: When EpicDuel first went live, [[http://cms.battleon.com/ed/images/old_fortune_city.jpg this]] is what the area called Old Fortune City looked like. [[http://epicduelwiki.com/images/thumb/2/2f/OldFortuneCity1.png/600px-OldFortuneCity1.png This]] is the same area as it exists currently.
* AuthorAvatar: [=NPCs=] Nightwraith, Titan, Charfade, Cinderella and [=BigTuna=] represent current and past (in the case of [=BigTuna=]) ''EpicDuel'' staff.

* DarkerAndEdgier: EpicDuel is more aimed at 'mature' players and contains some weapons coated with much ''red blood'' and some painfully sharp weapons (which includes ''cricket bats and bazookas'') which can add some terror considering the size of them. Not only that, (instead of respawning) whenever your character loses a battle- they [[LastChanceHitPoint start fainting!]]

* OurTitansAreDifferent: The Game Lead and Head Programmer of EpicDuel goes by "Titan", as does his {{Author Avatar}}. Titan may be a {{Physical God}}. In real life, Titan is the tallest Creator/ArtixEntertainment staff member at six feet seven inches.

''[=EpicDuel=]'' is Creator/{{Artix Entertainment}}'s sixth major game, and second MMORPG. The game began development in 2007 under Epic Inventions, LLC, which was purchased by Artix in December 2009. Since it was developed independently from the family of Artix games, the characters and storyline are separate from the world of Lore, and the game does not share [=NPCs=], areas or storylines with any of the other games (with the exception of some staff). A teaser at the end of the Infernal Infiltration War implied a crossover with MechQuest.

* BribingYourWayToVictory: Players can purchase Varium, which acts as a premium in-world currency. Varium items typically have better stats, and an advantage over non-paying players in battle, making this game quite a ''literal'' version of this trope.

* DarkerAndEdgier: EpicDuel is more aimed at 'mature' players and contains some weapons coated with much ''red blood'' and some painfully sharp weapons (which includes ''cricket bats and bazookas'') which can add some NightmareFuel considering the size of them. Not only that, (instead of respawning) whenever your character loses a battle- they [[LastChanceHitPoint start fainting!]]

* GoodColorsBadColors: The Legion is represented by the colors red and black, where the Exiles are represented by blue and gold. However, since Exile and Legion are more representative of {{Blue and Orange Morality}}, also is a case of {{Dark is Not Evil}}.

* EvilIsSexy: [[http://twitpic.com/5eshjd/full Alydriah Descarl]]
