![]() Since its original release, Elder Tale received numerous updates that vastly improved the game's content and graphic engine, but during the release of its twelfth expansion pack, Homesteading the Noosphere, 30,000 Japanese players and several hundred thousand players worldwide who were logged-on at the time of the update became trapped in the game. Homesteading the Noosphere Main article: Homesteading the Noosphere The event, however, naturally cut off the option of typed messages.īecause it was possible to travel to other servers and thus meet players who spoke different languages, Elder Tale featured an automatic translator that translated everything aside from puns (which probably wouldn't make sense in different languages where, in Leonardo's case, phrases such as "my god" or "Cowabunga" are not translated) accurately after a slight delay. All fights are not allowed within safe zones as the Royal Guard will intervene and kill the attacker without mercy.Įlder Tale features two methods of communication with other players, voice chat and regular typed-up messages, although voice chat is the more popular form, with typing reserved mostly for roleplayers like Akatsuki prior to the Catastrophe. In Elder Tale, players can use their skills outside safe zones when fighting monsters or PKing victims. Unlike classes, they can be changeable as long as the gamer is willing to start over from scratch once choosing another subclass. There are numerous subclasses in Elder Tale: roleplaying, production, and special titles. However, these class variations tend to have similar skillsets and purposes. Several classes are unique to their servers, and have a different version in other servers. Each class has unique strengths and weakness. Once a class is being selected, it is permanent. The gamer can choose one of eight playable races in Elder Tale, each with their special attributes and skills.Īfter selecting a race, the player can choose a class of his/her choosing. They can adjust their characters' appearance of their own choosing if they want to be of an opposite gender, a character similar to their real life bodies or an entirely different one. Then after registering, the gamer begins to create their character. Logging into Elder Tale is similar to all MMORPGS by registering one's username and email address. ![]() The game operates like most MMORPGs with a level system and eventual skill mastery of character classes and subclasses. Electricity, for example, does not exist in this world, and everything is run on magic. Some time after the Catastrophe, it became possible for adventurers to renovate the ruins into habitable builds, although many of the amenities of the electrical age are no longer present. However, some of the remnants from the old world remained, which now appear as ruins of skyscrapers, cars, and other modern-day sights overgrown with vegetation. Theldesia is based on a post-apocalyptic world long past our present time according to lore, after a rogue AI named Shiva caused the apocalypse, the gods remade the world into half its size and gave the world's inhabitants magic. As a result, the geography of Theldesia is very similar to that of Earth, although the major continents have different names and many real-life locations have different names (some based on the real-world locations' past names or monikers). ![]() The world of Elder Tale is based on the Half GAIA Project (ハーフガイア・プロジェクト), a half-scale model of planet Earth. Each expansion costs anywhere from 5400 to 6200 yen (~$45–52), and the monthly fee is 1600 yen (~$13). The Japanese version of Elder Tale costs 7800 yen (~$65 USD) for the all-in-one pack, which includes the basic pack plus all the expansions. Furthermore, to allow better communication between players, there is a highly-accurate automatic translator that works even for voice chat. However, transferring to another server is as simple as taking a Teleport Gate or a Fairy Ring to another server, having no restrictions. ![]() Each server has its own company running the game, coming up with their own special events, classes, and subclasses. Over time, as Elder Tale's popularity grew, the number of servers expanded up to 13, when Elder Tale became a fully-global MMO with a server on every continent. Elder Tale was originally an American MMORPG created by Atharva Inc., a Los Angeles-based company.
