About Rappelz

An Introduction to Rappelz

Rappelz is a relatively new MMORPG, following the success of massively popular games such as WoW. It was first released in November 2006. Since then there have been five expansions, the latest being Epic V (released June 2008). The major difference with Rappelz is that it is a free game to download, but just as challenging and exciting.

Rappelz is set within a medieval fantasy world that hosts three competing races; The Deva (Guardians of Light), the Asura (Servants of the Dark), and the Gaia (Protectors of Nature). The common RPG premise of leveling as you gain in-game experience and build up your characters applies as a core challenge to Rappelz aswell. To help guide you through the game, there are hundreds of quests to carry out - which you can tackle along with other online players by forming quest groups. Like WoW, you can also have a pet that also has the ability to level up.

Rappelz - The Scenario

The world was being kept in order by the two elements, creation and extinction. There were two gods who were in charge of those two elements that were more respected and trusted than other gods. They thought the human race was too ignorant to develop its own civilization so they sent the Deva and Asura to assist the human race. The Deva represented lightness and the Asura represented darkness.

After some ups and downs, the Gaia (human beings) became settled.

Tragically, the Gaia became unsettled when a woman who called herself ‘the witch’ appeared. She disapproved of the sanctity that had been handed down from ancient times and claimed that the history of the Gaia had been distorted. She cried out that her words were true and that the Gaia should listen to her. Many people followed her words like religious fanatics, which in turn, put the Gaia into chaos. She was so powerful that the Gaia, Deva, and Asura had to put their strength together in order to fight her. And in the end, she was captured and burned alive.

Years later…

There was a suspicion that number of followers of the witch’s words started to increase again. Some people among the Gaia began to make an attempt to find out if what the witch had said was true.
