Mystic Realms Of Alhanzar, MRA (as we like to call it) is a full color, graphical, online, multi-player, fantasy role-playing game, with many advanced features developed over a period of years.

Most importantly, MRA avoids the ?hack and slash? syndrome that many FRP games suffer from by providing a highly developed melee combat system, with a wide selection of melee weapons (including magical, enchanted, and different levels of craftsmanship), each with different attack choices, and graphical information presented each turn from which to make your decisions. With this system, melee combat is never dull and never devolves into ?hack and slash?.

MRA also offers a 3D ?birds-eye view? display, tactical map, real-time movement, six different types of inter-player communication (some telepathic), skill based systems (where you decide for yourself what skills you are best in) for all classes, contiguous architecture world/dungeon design (allowing the game to be expanded in every direction to any degree), online quests and other activities, full guild support including guild halls, castles and manors, various forums for discussion, and significantly developed online help and player?s manual making it as easy as possible to get into the game.

MRA currently supports 12 races, 10 classes and character development up to level 36, but is nonetheless a long term project with more classes, enhancements to the graphics and artwork, continued world/dungeon development, and other enhancements, planned for the future. So, it is more of a game for those looking for long term value rather than a game that you might only play for a month or so.

There is no initial cost and you may start playing immediately after downloading and familiarizing yourself with the game. You may then play for free for three months with no restrictions on levels or areas. Also, due to a need to control problem players as much as anything else, new players have some limitations in their ability to communicate with others in the game, which can be lifted simply by signing up for one of the ?Game Plans? starting as low as ?5/month.
