Exodus Online is a massively online multiplayer role-playing game, or MMORPG for short. Exodus Online seeks to break some of the barriers that have plauged MMORPG's in the past. Specifically, it will be:

• A game that is both fun to play and appropriate for players of all ages
• A world where any player can gain fame and become a hero
• A community that goes beyond just an online forum and isolated community events

Exodus Online is a free game. Unfortunately the funding for the project is spotty, so to keep the game running we will be forced to offer a few services that are not free. In specific, 5 in-game buildings will require a purchase before being constructed. We are also considering a one-time fee to grant a character access to 3 of the 4 planets in the game world, and the ability to have your own clan map for a monthly fee. However, the entire planet of Terre Verte will be accessible by free players, and all players will be able to buy and pilot a spacecraft without paying a cent.

Gameplay

Exodus Online's gameplay is centered on teamwork and world-changing individuals. Characters will be able to erect their own buildings and even run their own cities. A high-level player (with a high Architecture skill) would be able to start the construction of an airport wherever he chooses. Other players with lower Architecture skills would be able to help build the airport and donate resources to the cause, and in turn get a share of the experience points received from completing the airport to be put towards their Construction skill. The finished airport would then be able to house airplanes, ferry troops, passengers, and supplies, and help build the infrastructure of the city in general. Many buildings will be available for construction, from banks to spaceports to shops to defense turrets.

Overview

• 8 "disciplines", or branches of skills, each with a set of sub-skills. All skills will be trainable to level 100.
• Two distinct playable factions, which will often be at war: The governmental Crown, and the freelance Republic. Players can also choose to remain neutral.
• Hundreds of items.
• Ability to create almost any item in the game. However, the method to create each item will be unknown until someone experiments and discovers it.
• Expansive tracts of uncharted land to explore, rich with resources and unknown creatures.
• A combat system based on fun, not on grinding.
• At least 4 planets, Terre Verte, Sparthia, Glacies, and Ferlith.
