GETTING STARTED

At the beginning, participants can choose which character they want to play as. Some of the main characters are Robin, Maid Marion, Little Jon, Azeem, the Sheriff, the Lieutenant, exc. Other characters include the Sheriff’s knights, Robin’s men, the peasants, the barbarians, the mercenaries, and the crusaders. Each character has his/her own special skills that are needed to complete the game. But since no character holds all of the skills needed, players must bargain, deal, communicate, and trade with other characters playing online. The story of the game remains the same for each character, but what’s different is the way in which each player moves through the game, and decisions and compromises must be made in the process. If, for example, you decide to play as a Sheriff knight, then you are given the task of seeing the Sheriff’s plan through by stopping those who are against you. A sheriff knight is granted certain skills that will help the player win in battles.
