Rise of the New Gods (or Rise / RNG for short) is a few weeks away from completion. It is a simple browser-based MMO with a persistent world which works much like Path of the Vampire, but it's less confusing and I dare say more elegant. Whereas Path is focused largely on PVE and forum roleplay, RNG will be slightly more focused on PVP, with forum roleplay as a very serious option for those interested.
Rise of the New Gods will feature the following:
- Choose your deity aspects, and rise to become supreme or almighty God / Goddess of that aspect! Want to be Lord of Bones? Mistress of the Seas? Prince of Thunder? You can be any of those things, and perhaps even all of those things. And if you gain enough disciples you can become the God of Bones or the Almighty of Chaos, for example.
- Set in a world where the old gods of the Roman and Greek civilizations survived and prospered, until their empires had conquered the entire world. But then the New Gods came; ascended mortals, paragons of their aspects, and slowly they took over both heaven and hades.
- Devour mortal souls or help them ascend. Either way, you can use those souls to gain new god-like powers, and crush your enemies or inspire mortals with astounding miracles. But your choices on how you treat mortals will align you with the darkness, the light, or chaos.
- A unique struggle for power in each of the world's major regions. You can build a faction and each month you may challenge other gods for dominion over one of the earthly regions. This will start a turn-based and tactical all out war between your two groups, where the powers you have selected for your deity will determine your role in the fight.
- Gain enough disciples and you can build yourself a temple, where more followers will flock. But be sure to be on your guard, because jealous gods may want to raid your temple and kill your disciples in order to weaken you.
