Race War Kingdoms, also called RWK, is a fantasy massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) released in year 2001, developed and published by Glitchless LLC. Race War Kingdoms is mostly text-based with some graphical implementations and does not require high specification.
Race War Kingdoms, which can be found at RaceWarKingdoms.com, is an unique web browser based browser game that can be played from anywhere on any computer that has an internet connection and Windows 95 or higher.[1]
Gameplay
editPlayers begin by creating a character of a selected race. They are given a character with level 0 with a basic set of equipment. Players can fight monsters by selecting a monster under 'New Fight' drop-down menu. Players are encouraged to look at announcements and help site before going further into the game. The announcements and help site can be found by typing /ann and /help in the chat area anytime. A fan site that is famous among the players called Jimcav.com provides helpful information about the game.
Character creation guide
editThe choices you make when you begin playing RWK can influence how easy, or hard, it is for you to develop your character. Choosing the right race and class combination, then putting your points into the correct stats, can mean the difference between a character that is powerful and one that is weak. One piece of advice for all players is to equip one light weapon or rapid spell, the choice varies by class, to reduce your delay between actions. You will level and skill much faster this way. Archers without an Attacker’s Balance will suffer a significant drop in Cnc using any spells but for routine leveling, skilling or collecting drops the increased speed is worth more than the reduction in your damage.[2]
Kingdoms
editPlayers are able to obtain kingdoms by settling on a location which isn't occupied by anyone else. High level players maintain multiple kingdoms, also called a plex, and gather interest gold by depositing certain amount of gold into the kingdom. Players can also attack other players kingdoms using a kingdom of their own, so new players are encouraged not to invest gold on kingdoms until they have enough power to defend them from other players.
Skills
editSkills can range from 0 to 99 and go up randomly (meaning: no, there will not be a skill bar added telling you when you will get your next skill) depending on the percentage of experience you're putting towards skills. This percentage can be changed under the skills menu, which is also where you can change the skill you wish to put points towards. The higher percentage of experience you have going to skills the higher your chance of getting a skill increase. You can only train one skill at a time, but you can be proficient in multiple skill categories. Skills become more difficult to improve as they mature. You can type /skills at any time to see the rating of all your skills.[3] The list of skills are as follows: 1. Attacking Accuracy 2. Attacking Precision 3. Casting Accuracy 4. Casting Precision 5. Criticality 6. Regeneration 7. Kingmanship 8. Haste 9. Defensive More help on the skills can be found here.
Quests
editRWK's quests are mostly obtained by going to a specific location, talking to special NPCs, or defeating certain monsters at specific locations. Quest items are designed to enhance the characters, and some of the powerful quest items are also obtainable by purchasing them from Glitchless. However, all quest items are obtainable by playing the game without purchasing them. The quest items and their abilities are listed here.
Chat
editPlayers are able to chat while they are playing the game once the player's character reaches level 1. There are four different types of chat players are able to use. To avoid being muted from the chat for violating chat regulations, players are encouraged to look at the rules of chat which could be found here.
Shout
editSHOUT is the main channel to which messages go unless otherwise directed. Shout is the most commonly used form of chat. There are 3 different colors that a character's text can appear when using Shout. It depends upon their location. A character's location is shown before their name in Shout in this form: [xxx,Plane,xxx]. The x's are their location on the map and Plane is based upon what plane (ie. Surface, Sky, Heaven, Dungeon or Hell) the person is on. The plane is also what changes a person's color text. If their location is Sky, their writing will appear blue. If their location is Hev (heaven), their writing will appear a darker blue. If their location is Sur (surface) their writing will appear white. If their location is Dun (dungeon) their writing will appear pink. If their location is Hel (hell), their writing will appear a darker pink.[4]
Auction
editAuction is the green text and is used to buy/sell/update bids/announce that you are looking for an item. However, unlike in shout, you only have 45 messages per hour that you can say in Auction. Auctions can be turned off under OPTIONS in the drop down menu that starts with New Fight. To write a message in auction, either type /a then your message or simply change the chat channel (the drop down box that starts with SHOUT) to auction and your message will go into Auction. By default, all messages that contain the word(s): bids, sell, sale, and buy automatically go into Auction.[4]
Emote
editAnother form of chat is Emote. When a person emotes, their writing appears as white italic text. To emote, simply type /e then your message.[4]
Private
editWhen you receive a private message from someone, it shows their name and then a message written in purple. To private message a person, simply click their name and type your message OR type /m charactername: your message. When you receive a drop when fighting a creature, it will show up in huge yellow text so you can't miss it.[4]
Download
editRWK is also playable through client for those who prefer. Glitchless has uploaded a downloadable client setup file on CNET downloads. The client is downloadable here.
