And the story goes…

In
O.R.B
players launch themselves into a dynamic world where two races are fighting
over the territory they each thought was theirs. The Malus
are a product of their planet’s harsh environment. Scarce water,
extremely high temperatures and a volatile climate have created a rigidly
disciplined culture based on strength and triumph over adversity. The
Alyssians are an independent,
self-sufficient and fatalistic race who have sacrificed their individualism
for the greater cause of societal harmony and consider themselves democratic
and egalitarian.

Two different
races. One shared goal. And the battle intensifies even more when the two
races realize they are not alone in their fight…
