DESCRIPTION
Horizons: Empires of Istaria is an online only role-playing game. Players can choose from a selection of races including: Humans, Fiends, Dwarves, and Dragons. Playing as a Dragon is a rather different experience, however, since Dragons have their own skills and schools. Professions — schools — such as warrior, jeweler, or weaponsmith determine how a character advances in skill, but players are free to switch professions. Players can form guilds, build houses and castles, hire non-player characters to work as clerks, grow rich, and craft items. Enemies include the encroaching Undead and their fell masters, ice elementals, and more. Spellcasting is available to every character in the game — many monsters too — and players must decide how to develop their character. The story of Istaria is intended to evolve as the game continues, with additional material, plotlines, enemies, and items added regularly. ~ All Game Guide

“I like this game a lot. First of all, playing as a dragon. Wow... The crafting system is intense, and complex, but is rewarding and allows players to make their own legendary unique equipment. The community is /epic/, but there are some annoying people along the way, and it's hilarious taking care of them. Building your own lair/plot? Good. Boss fights? Great. Exploring? Awesome! Community? I can't wait to get back to my friends on Istaria!”

“An MMO I tried awhile back. Had a lot of potential, just had too many issues. Was cool being able to play as a dragon though.”

“This game is the proverbial phoenix of the MMO industry. It's a great game and the only game you can play a dragon from hatchling to adulthood. It harbors a great community as well. I'm glad I came back to it and look forward to its future. ”
