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

“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. ”
