ArchLord has recently witnessed an explosion of
interest with over 800 fan sites registering online. When the Beta test sign-up
began, over 20,000 player applications were made within the first within two
hours. ArchLord’s game world, Chantra, is set to be a heavily populated one, so
prepare to decide where your allegiance will lie.
The Humans
Having broken away from their Orc masters, the Humans form a noble race
forging a new life in the game’s magical world of Chantra.
- The Knights are brave warriors famed for their
melee skills. They display great loyalty to comrades and those who employ them
and a fierce determination in battle. - The Archers provide ranged support in battle
with powerful arrow based attacks and speed. - The Mages are renowned for their goodwill and
desire for betterment. The Mage is not to be underestimated by their
diminutive size; they control powerful magic and can take down towering
enemies.
The Orcs
The Orcs have occupied Chantra for many years and once considered themselves
the eldest race on Chantra.
- Few rise to be a Berserker, an esteemed
position that requires both great strength and a flare for magic – a
devastating combination when in battle. - The Hunter, with excellent night vision and
stamina, provides excellent reconnaissance and support skills to any group. - The Sorcerer is one of the most sociable
characters in Chantra, but possess devastating powers being able to master
rituals and curses alike. They always run the risk of being tainted by the
darkness they have been forced to embrace.
The Moon Elves
The Moon Elves watched over Chantra for a long time before revealing
themselves. Through their caution, only two classes chose to step into the
world: the Ranger and Elementalist.
- The Ranger is widely recognized as the most
well rounded of all the ranged attack classes, with an ability to traverse any
terrain, and devastating speed. - The Elementalist makes great use of the many
powerful summons they are blessed with. They are able to use these summons in
battle, more than making up for their lack of physical strength.
Published by Codemasters Online Gaming, ArchLord
