Nobody, that is, except the George Washingtons, a group of rebels fighting for freedom.

Lenie Clarke has destroyed the world. The horror she unleashed—an ancient, apocalyptic microbe called ßehemoth—has been free in the world for half a decade now. North America lies in ruins. Digital monsters have taken Clarke's name, wreaking havoc throughout the decimated remnants of something that was once called Internet. Governments have fallen across the globe; warlords and suicide cults rise from the ashes, pledging fealty to the Meltdown Madonna. All because five years ago, Lenie Clarke had a score to settle.

Lenie Clarke has grown sick to death of her own cowardice. For five years, she and her bionic brethren have hidden in the mountains of the deep Atlantic. The facility they commandeered was more than a secret station on the ocean floor. Atlantis was an exit strategy for the corporate elite, a place where the world's Movers and Shakers had hidden from the doomsday microbe ßehemoth. For five years "rifters" and "corpses" have lived in a state of uneasy truce, united by fear of the outside world.

Professor Mortimer Kull hat einen Kinofilm mitproduziert, der zum absoluten Hit wird.

Noel und Tony gehen Kull in die Falle und bekommen es mit Droosa zu tun, genannt: Der Sternenteufel.

Jackson's class as an Ironwood Monk puts him right in the front line. He gets stronger the more he gets hit and can pass that on to the rest of the team. That is if he can get his mom to actually let him fight. No one, least of all Jackson, fully understands the importance he holds for his family's future or that of all Talos. He will have to navigate challenges both in dungeons and the halls of power if he is to find a new home.

That was who I was. That was what I was, a tiny snake with great potential. The sole creation of the Great Core. It was just us—the great core and I—tucked away in our little corner of the world dungeon. Together, we hid from the bad things and the Coreless of the world outside, safe from the horrors that would consume us. Until one day, the Coreless found us. Until they tried to steal away my creator. Until with no other option, I swallowed the Great Core that had made me. Only after that, did I become what I was always meant to be.

Ist es leicht, in der Welt des Spiels zu überleben? Das könnte man meinen, wenn man die Bedingungen nicht kennt. Sie sind ungewöhnlich: Es ist die reale Welt, in der du dein ganzes Leben gelebt hast. Da ist der Feind, der danach lechzt, dich zu vernichten. Deine eigene Klasse, die sich nicht im Geringsten um dich kümmert. Bist du immer noch der Meinung, dass das Überleben leicht ist? Dann willkommen im SPIEL! Es wird dir das Gegenteil beweisen.

Damien’s return to Blackmist was victorious–but it wasn’t without price. Traces of the Void linger on, interwoven through his being. He learned much in his time spent within the space beyond time, but still ended up leaving with more questions than answers.

Zu überleben ist in einer schwierigen Situation nicht immer die beste Option – manchmal ist es besser zu sterben, als am Leben zu bleiben. Die Akademie hat Paladin Yaropolk gezeigt, wie man in der Welt zurechtkommt: Pragmatismus und das Streben nach dem persönlichen Vorteil. Der Neustart wurde in die Wege geleitet, aber er macht die Spieler nur noch wilder. Jetzt spielt jeder nur noch für sich selbst. Yaropolk steht vor demselben Dilemma: Soll er so werden wie alle anderen oder soll er sich seine Menschlichkeit bewahren und ein Sonderling werden?

Damien left Mountain Hall victorious, eager to reunite with Sylph and spend some much-earned time relaxing. The Corruption has other ideas. Plans set into motion eons ago are finally clicking into place. The greatest threat this Cycle has seen mounts on the horizon, but the nobles can’t even settle their petty disputes, much less present a united front against the end of the world.

Das Spiel ist in Aufruhr. Alle Kräfte und Ressourcen der Spieler werden in die Vorbereitung auf den Neustart investiert: Nur 20 Prozent der Spieler werden es in die nächste Ära schaffen. Morde sind an der Tagesordnung, Bestechung und Vetternwirtschaft sind auf dem absoluten Höhepunkt. Verrat wird zu einem festen Bestandteil des täglichen Miteinanders. Das Spiel hat seinen perfiden Einfluss bis in die entlegensten Winkel des Universums ausgebreitet und beeinflusst jedes bewusste Wesen. Wird der Dunkle Richter das richtige Urteil fällen?

Wieder einmal hat das Schicksal Altai einen grausamen Streich gespielt. Die Hoffnung, von Rhapsodie zu entkommen, hat sich zerschlagen, der Sieg hat sich in eine Niederlage verwandelt, und aus Freunden sind Feinde geworden. Frühere Errungenschaften haben ihren Wert verloren und sich in Nichts aufgelöst. Altai muss wieder von vorne beginnen, denn der letzte Akt der Tragödie hat sich nur als Vorspiel entpuppt und neue Herausforderungen zeichnen sich am Horizont ab. Er muss das Elysium erreichen und die Grenzabsperrung überwinden, um endlich zu Ende zu bringen, was ihn ins Sperrgebiet geführt hat.

Nur wenige Menschen auf Rhapsodie haben es so weit gebracht wie Altai. Er besitzt den Status eines Champions, hat ein hohes Level erreicht und sich die Loyalität der Verwaltung verdient. Doch wenn alles aus den Fugen gerät und das System des Sperrgebiets zusammenbricht, verlieren auch virtuelle Errungenschaften ihren Wert. Als die Grenzbefestigungen durchbrochen werden, Clan-Forts untergehen und die Xenos den Limbus überfallen, um in das Elysium einzudringen, zählen nur dicke Mauern, ein ausreichender Vorrat an Munition und Freunde, auf die man sich verlassen kann.
