Thousand Year Town's market: a queue at the clerk, a mage healing himself, a trade parting, a player arriving by scroll. Staged in the local game: the twelve are test players.

One world, in a tab

Averse Lands is an online role-playing game seen from above, in the old style: you fight monsters for their loot, learn a trade, and meet the other players on the same roads and in the same towns.

Where the road goes

Painting: a new arrival with a pack on his back talks to an old fisherman mending nets by a wrecked boat, a walled town on the far headland
The LandingEvery character starts here, a short walk from the first wolf camp.
Painting: a traveller with a sword on his shoulder walks the road to the gate of a walled town under a great oak, the sea beyond
Thousand Year TownThe market square, the brokers of the Exchange and the ferry pier.
Painting: an archer and a shield-bearer fight a great hound among gravestones at dusk while a winged shape circles overhead
The GraveyardUnder its stones lies the Crypt, and the Crypt Knight in his chamber.

In the beta now

A party in Golden, Nightguard, Displacer and Wizard armour fighting a camp of Dune Raiders and their outlined leader on the sunlit sand of Sunwhite Sands, one raider down beside its loot sack; the green guild names Iron Vanguard and Moonwell Circle with their shields above the players

Skills that grow as you use them

No points to spend. Every weapon has its own skill that rises each time you fight with it, and your magic grows as you cast.

A three-against-three match in the Sundered Ravine, guild against guild: a player in Golden armour cuts off Torvald of Crimson Fang as he runs with the Gold Sun banner, Valka of Iron Vanguard duels Kael beside them and Morwen of Moonwell Circle casts from the flank, the score 2 to 1 with 6:18 left and Torvald selected in the target frame

Open PvP and capture the flag

From level 8, take the PvP stance and fight other players out in the world, or queue for the Sundered Ravine, a capture-the-flag battleground.

Eleven players round the Exchange’s clerk Wilmot in Thousand Year Town: a short queue led by Valka of Iron Vanguard, selected in the target frame, two pairs talking prices, one walking away with a purchase, every neighbour in a different set and the green guild names over each player

A market the players run

The Exchange is one market for the whole world: list what you find or make at any broker in town, buy what others sell, or post a buy order.

A party of Ember Wardens and Moonwell Circle fighting the Crypt Knight in his chamber, the tank at his feet and fireballs in flight, his health at 57 per cent

A crypt boss for your party

Gather a party of two to five and go down under the Graveyard, through the Crypt's elites, to face the Crypt Knight in his chamber.
