Worlds of Rhun is the oldest and longest running (Rhunning) Lands of Rhun mod, and has been heavily customized over the 8 or so years that it has been in operation.
We have a small but loyal playerbase, but always looking for more players to join the ranks.
Our server has many features which were developed and implemented specially for Worlds of Rhun.
~~Feature List~~
Vampire Bloodline System - You can sire other players to be vampires (with their consent), gain a clan castle and accumulate blood points with xp gain, to purchase upgrades to evolve your vampire clan.
Stargate System - Worlds of Rhun is called Worlds of Rhun because we facilitate the travel to other 'Realms' or 'Worlds' within the server, this is done through a realistic Stargate mod of my own design.
Area/Dungeon Instancing - Many of our epic dungeons are instanced trials, which means we can have the same dungeon running concurrently with another parties instance. We also use instancing to allow players to own their own homes, castles, and planar strongholds.
Deity Subrace - You can actually create a God in Worlds of Rhun, acquire power through worship of NPC's and/or players, and vye for their devotion. Convert other God's followers to be your own, and become more powerful. God's have the ability to become invulnerable, unlimited spells, as well as having power over up to 3 portfolios, such as time, death, life, chaos, fire (over 30 portfolios to choose from, to create your unique deity)
Forum Integration - Because we don't want 'all' our players being god's without earning it, we allow you to earn 'credits' through forum posts. These credits can be used to purchase access to the God Sub-race for 1 month. This encourages forum / social interaction. Credits can also be awarded through in-game challenges, or for forum posts.
WebSite Integration - Our new .Net website 'asmodei.net' allows for you to manage and control your servervault directly. You can safe delete from a web interace (to hide your character from server vault screen) or you can 'actually' delete your character - which is final. This integration is very powerful, but also secure. In order to link your user account on the site to the game, you need to get a 6 digit code/pin from the website, and then enter that code in-game in order to link your in-game account to your site account.
Removed Level Caps - First we introduced the Divinity System, where players could expand their level 40 experience to include the ability to 'level up' with pseudo levels. They would get 3 of their ability scores buffed permanently, and then get an upgraded divinity power (long cooldown AOE damage spell). Divinity Levels are acquired through completing trials, and defeating bosses. More recently, we have removed the level restrictions on the server completely. Everytime you gain a Divinity Level, you will actually increase by 1 NWN Level, even beyond level 40. (My vampire is level 75). The only limiting factor for the max level you can acquire, is the amount of time you are prepared to play for. Getting divinity points is not easy, but the rewards are surely worth it.
Custom Content - At Worlds of Rhun, we believe that we should be able to have custom content that caters to those who are willing to download it, but also allow entry to the server for those who don't want to download it. For this reason, we released and continue to release new version of the 'Rhun Downloader'. It is a C# application that will download music files, patched tlk files, and content for your override directory. Having this content will enhance your experience, but lacking the content will not prevent you from entering the server. You just wont hear music in selected areas, and some areas will be off-limits to you (where tile sets are required)
This is an opt in system, and by no means required, but definitely beneficial.
Spell and Incantation System
We have a system that allows you to perform magical effects through your voice in game.
toggling on incantation mode via saying ^incantation
will make the next thing you say be an incantation. If you say something like Incendio
it will trigger the burning spell (harry potter)
Playertool05 will then be your wand, and you can fire a Burning spell at your target.
Similarly, our ritual system is much more powerful.
^ritual to toggle it on, and then you must say 2 or more verses correctly in order to create the desired effect.
Many create spells that continue to affect the area around you for as long as you stay within the ritual circle, others require candles to be placed on the ground, which will determine the size of the circle you are confined to.
Many of the rituals require concentration checks to maintain the effect.
Stepping out of a circle, or losing concentration can disrupt the ritual.
One of our popular rituals is the Roar of the Heavens ritual
'Crash of Thunder'
'Tears of the Heavens'
'I summon you now'
'To Appear'
'Lay low those who offend me'
On speaking the final verse correctly, and if you maintain control, you can summon a thunderstorm that will rain down lightning strikes on enemies within 30 ft of you every few seconds.
Worlds of Rhun borrows stories, characters, and ideas from many popular medias (my own favorite tv shows, games and books)
Vampires are themed after the Vampires of Nosgoth, infact Nosgoth is one of the worlds you can visit.
Fae are styled after the Faeries of True Blood.
Stargates from Stargate-SG1
L'Cie subrace from Final Fantasy XIII
Many Dungeons and Epic Bosses from Sources such as
Final Fantasy XIII (Caius Ballad, and Bhunivelze), Maleficent (herself)
