Nexus War: Straylight Release

Saturday, 26 April 2008

Let me start by explaining nexus war, a game that most of my readers will never of heard of, To lift the description straight off the front page:

"Nexus War is a browser-based multiplayer online roleplaying game where players and their factions struggle for control over territory and power over several planes of existence."

In Nexus War you play as a mortal freshly transported to the Nexal battleground of St Germaine islands, For a free to play browser MMO the game is richly detailed, with a clean and usable interface, and a full backstory featured both from the hidden badge locations, and the newspapers that can be found all across the islands. As you level up, you are given Character points, or CP, which you can use as a currency to buy new skills. Every action you perform in the nexus has an effect on your Morality, or MO, which functions like a sort of Karma meter indicating that you are good or evil and this effects the routes of character progression open to you as you play.

At level 10, players can pick one of the 12 "Tier 2" classes, Ascending to angelhood, or descending to become a Demon. Players may choose to favour the forces of neutrality and free will becoming one of the 3 neutral classes, again you get a choice at Level 20, to pick one of the final exits for your Tier 2 class, and this ammount of customisation and skill selection means that every character is unique.

However, the main strength of Nexus war is its community, in addition to it's own IRC network,it has a forums and its own Wiki, where detailed in game help can be found. The community is roughly 500 people strong, and I think one of the main strengths is how friendly everyone can be, despite the fact the game is solely PVP based and so you are always killing each other.

With Straylight the whole game has become far more.. Shiny, and I dont think there has ever been a better time to take a holiday in St Germaine.
