The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Kestia]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
I have been at TG for five years, two as a member of the staff. In
this time, the additions and improvements have been constant and
incredible. A good number of the staff are working on projects every
single day. Sheylynn just recently added a fantastic fishing code as
well as a wonderful butterfly catching code for new characters to gain
coins easily. Trellan is always adding in new codes that bring about
cheers and fainting hearts from the fans.
The Realm consists of seven continents, four moons and all with
numerous areas within them and it's still growing!
We have grown in areas such as Kingdoms, Empires, Cities, Villages
and Forests that offer immense roleplay for those that enjoy
political and historical styles. Characters are very involved in the
management and function of the various areas. Some hold high offices
through placement or elections and some claim lowly jobs while
building their character. There really is no limit to how far a
character can go in this Realm if they put in the time and creative
thinking. The Roleplay Council consists of three highly experienced
Immortals who work with the players to develop their unique character
in inventive and logical ways.
Examples (but by no means all) of global events since I have been on
the staff are, Sheylynn's 'Quest for Honor' which was an intense
adventure for a large number of the players and has lasting and
beneficial results for those that finished. The 'Tyssir Chess
Competition' was a historical event, which resulted in drastic
changes to the environment and the characters that completed it. The
Sacred Spirit Society has regular fun events for all levels, such as
the Great Key Hunt and the Sophus Scavenger Hunt. There are costume
balls, game tournaments, archery competitions, fishing tournaments,
festivals, carnivals, debates at the university, public housing
auctions (Some are incredible Imm-built homes), weaponry lessons, race
studies and countless more! Both players and staff initiate these.
There are also countless role-play lines run by players. These are too
many to list but a few examples would be the recent vampiric group
rising in the Realm, causing troubles and giving vampire hunters some
spotlight. We have attacks on the Drow Empire by a resident clan -
kidnappings and covert spying as well as recruiting unsuspecting
sweeties to do the dirty deeds.
The Pantheon is sometimes (quite often) involved in great storylines
which mortal characters are encouraged to get involved in. We've had
ancient beings from a replica world aiming to destroy Gods. Malicious
Gods from other worlds arriving with dark intentions, giant God
killing spiders created and set loose and Demonic courts from the evil
moon invading the Mainland.
We have both clans and religions; characters can be involved in both.
Alliances are being forged and destroyed with great potential for
strife or war to brim.
There is nearly always a member of the staff and helpful players for
those visiting for the first time to seek guidance and assistance
from. I have to say, the reception is a warm and welcoming one. We
invite you to come test our world and stay for cupcakes and tea.
