Legends of Renown Deeds™ (LORD) — The Hero Quest is a Massive Multi-Player online Fantasy Role-Playing Game of High Adventure in which, you control one to several avatars. It has been online actively since 1990 with over 18-million gaming sessions across our five (5!) datacenters ( from our US and Euro-Asian presence found in the UK, FI, BG, and AU )!

The Quest:

Your avatar team explores the varied secrets hidden within decimated castle ruins, lairs, and temples. They discover — and pillage! — exotic weapons, armor, potions, magical scrolls of ancient wisdom, treasure maps, new "user-generated" levels — or imported from the Syndication Market — items, interact with other member's teams socially, and perform many such activities.

Main Features:

• Explore and discover the "Hidden Levels" alone or in TEAMS — whether single-player OR multi-player!;
• "Create Your Own Adventures" (CYOA) levels; charge an entrance fee, if you like, in our global market syndication. (requires a "Merchant of Record" connection)
• Designed for all ages — without discrimination! — as a menu-driven, "pure strategy-genre" RPG. Great-grandparents can play on a "leveled playing field" with great-grandchildren. LORD has an "Everyone" ESRB rating initially; but, could be tailored to meet your online community's expectations.
• Grow your avatar's characteristics and additional skills from various guilds and schools;
• Buy & Sell "one-of-a-kind ( NFT ) syndicated" artifacts, relics, and items similar to "Magic: The Gathering" Trade Cards; (requires a "Merchant of Record" connection)
• "Player vs. Player" (PVP) combat encounters against other exploration teams whenever "Player Matching Filters" are enabled! Issue taunts at them inside the game's optional "chat and graffiti-wall" features; (child-safe restrictions apply)
• Avatars earn income from their adventures, activities, and various simulated career(s);
• Rent (or Lease) your avatars to other syndicated members to join their adventuring teams — under their control your avatars continue to earn additional experience, skills, and renown … AND you could earn cash! (requires a "Merchant of Record" connection)

The Legend …

"… It was in those days…days that were fraught with wars and villainy…that "the Revelation" came to Princess Adrielle and her Ladies-in-Waiting.

For three nights it appeared and vanished. Princess Adrielle told of the event to her father, King Stefan, for the apparition frightened her greatly.

On the fourth night, it appeared as before. And when it had come to its full brilliance, King Stefan hailed it and bade it to reveal its meaning or be gone.

Then all in the chamber heard the rush of wind and the roar of waters as if a great storm came upon them. All trembled at the threat of destruction. Howbeit the tumult passed, and a small quiet voice was heard.

"Choose, this day by the trials of arms and courage, a champion who will bring forth eternal peace to this land. A champion of renown who will be, forevermore, a sterling example of goodness and righteousness in both songs and deeds. Find this person and your lands shall prosper and lack for nothing as none hitherto or for has known."

And thus began the quest for the truest champion of Renown who would issue the 'Age Golden'."
