The story is different for the NPC slaves, though.

''[[http://www.ateraan.com/overview.html New Worlds Ateraan]]'' is a free-to-play roleplaying MultiUserDungeon set in a [[HighFantasy fantastical]] world with some minor touches of scifi. There's a blend of things to do, guilds to join, places to visit, and people to be (though you can have a maximum of two characters at any one time). With three main religions - Waylumi, Nature, and Dahkoar - the global religious conflict is really more [[BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil balanced]] than you'd think, considering that the clerics of Waylumi far [[ILikeThoseOdds outweigh]] those of Dahkoar when it comes to sheer numbers. Players run the religions and guilds, but their higher-ups are staff members who play royalty and interfere where they feel necessary, which leads to some [[BrokenBase debate within the playerbase]].

* AllPlanetsAreEarthLike: Somewhat subverted, what with magic and the different sapient races and a few mythological creatures; otherwise, quite similar. [[ALongTimeAgoInAGalaxyFarFarAway Also]], for many intents and purposes [[EarthThatWas Teciann]].



* CharacterLevel: People call them 'lessons'. You get exp from killing stuff, roleplay bonuses, introductions, and coins from varied sources - when you get enough, you can spend them on levels, thereby learning more powers. There actually is no known [[AbsurdlyHighLevelCap level cap]], though known powers do end at 30.

to:

* BackgroundMagicField: Supplied by the world, Ateraan. Or the cosmos, or maybe the cosmos supply it to the world. Depending on who you ask, you're likely to get a different answer.
* CharacterCustomization: Immense levels of this. The code allows nearly complete customization, from all the general ones - name, backstory, appearance, personality traits, accents - to much more, since the game itself is based on roleplay; this results in a wide variety of characters.
** For instance, the available clothing and jewelry is nearly all player-made. There are rules set in place to prevent immersion-breaking items, but there's still a [[PurpleProse gargantuan]] amount of [[http://pastebin.com/CpreWEMM text describing all sorts of outfits and garments]].
** Similarly, tattoos and piercings are described by players in text, as is the sight, smell, and taste of food. [[ButWaitTheresMore And there's more!]]

* AntiGrinding: A borg meter thingamawhatis used to combat grinding. Borging is the practice of running around killing anything as soon as it resets in a room. The game is designed to slow down borgers by slowly decreasing the reward for killings over a time period - if you keep going, you might be shunned and your character is marked as a bloodthirsty killer.
