1A free MMORPG based on the open source "Crystal Space" engine. It takes place in the [[BeneathTheEarth underground realm]] of Yliakum, encased within a gigantic stalactite. The game is unfinished- current players are also testers of the game, and many of the game mechanics don't work. Roleplay is encouraged, particularly since a lot of the other stuff isn't very exciting at the moment.

4!!This game provides examples of:
5%%* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: The sewers beneath Hydlaa. There's a whole ''cult'' living down there!
6%%* BeneathTheEarth
7%%* CallASmeerpARabbit: The rats
8%%* CatGirl: Female Enkidukai
9%%* ContinuingIsPainful: The Death Realm, and Dakkru's Curse
10* EmoteAnimation: Just one; /greet. There are other emote commands but they don't have any animations.
11%%* EnoughToGoAround
12%%* EverythingFades: More like, everything just vanishes a few seconds after you kill it.
13%%* FetchQuest
14* FlatEarthAtheist: Atheist is an option under religion during character creation, even though there are many obvious signs of the gods' existences.
15%%* GenderBender: The god Laanx was originally female
16%%* GuideDangIt: The quest system is notoriously counterintuitive -- and what's worse, you can't even get help on the forums, as it's considered spoilers.
17* HeKnowsAboutTimedHits: There's a tutorial section when you make your first character on an account, in which [=NPCs=] cheerfully talk to you about game mechanics. It's explicitly stated to be OOC when you start though.
18%%* HideYourChildren: The addition of child avatars is unlikely to ever occur -- some players RP as kids anyway.
19%%* ItemCrafting: One of the most developed parts of the game
20* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere: The Windowless Tower -- a subversion, as so far it's completely useless other than for a nice view.
21%%* OneSizeFitsAll
22* PaletteSwap: There are a few enemies that have the same models as other enemies, but different textures.
23* PamphletShelf: {{Averted}} -- There are two libraries in the game, and they have fairly good-sized books, though not nearly as long as real books would be.
24* PronounTrouble: Kran have no gender, so "kra" is used as a replacement pronoun for them, and "gemma" is used in place of "sir" or "madam".
25%%* PurelyAestheticGender
26* RelationshipValues: The "Faction" points are a variation; in that they show your character's standing with various groups of people or monsters.
27%%* RetCon: Since the game's not finished, there have been several of these
28%%* SlashCommand
29* WeBuyAnything: {{Averted}} -- shops only buy certain categories of items, usually the same kinds they sell.
30%%* YouCantGetYeFlask: The quests, again.
