TenTonHammer.com - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Alganon is an upcoming fantasy-based MMORPG filled with rich features such as: an in-game database called 'The Library', Studies that grow your character's capabilities while offline, Consignment capabilities for an expansive crafting system, Dual Role's so your characters fit into groups better, and much more.

There are also the more common features as multiple races and classes, powerful weapons and armor, deadly magic, epic quests and adventures, ancient places to discover, detailed tradeskills, MyAlganon connectivity, and more.

Players can choose from a current two races, which are separated between two factions, and four classes. Races and classes will be expanded after launch, as will many other areas of Alganon. Much like the MMOs before it, Alganon strives to pit players from the two warring factions against each other in a variety of different methods.

The developers at Alganon are also looking to bring a number of different advancement means into their MMOG, including a system called "Studying", which allows advancement while you're not online. Here's the official quote from the FAQ:

Our Studies system allows a player to grow their characters over time through a progressive time-based advancement method. Whether you are online or offline, selected studies will advance. This system provides a balance, ensuring a healthy reward for those that do not have the time to invest in the game, but not giving an unfair advantage to those that do.

Players will have the opportunity to choose between seven classes at launch:

• Soldier: Tanks specializing in the use of heavy armors and weaponry. Soldiers will have 'Anger' that builds up when in battle, allowing them to execute special actions. Soldiers will also have different stances that can be used for various situations to enhance defense or damage.
• Ranger: Rangers can control certain creatures, allowing them to become equal to any class in Alganon. They can also use ranged attacks and toxins while using traps and tracking to catch their enemies off guard.
• Assassin: The Assassin relies on stealth and poisons to defeat unsuspecting victims.
• Healer: Healers are capable of mending wounds and smiting their enemies with Words of power and Touches of Power. Healers can also supercharge their attacks by going into a trance or using the Deathwalk ability.
• Warden: Wardens are sworn to defend the natural world and use unique, natural magics.
• Prophet: Prophets serve the gods and bringers of death, capturing the souls of their victims and forcing them to serve their will.
• Magus: The Magus is a master of the elements and specializes in the use of Flame, Frost and Storm magics. The Magus can summon elementals or specialize their powers in other areas to become a deadly force on the battle field.

Another key features is The Library. The Library records not only facts about the game, but Legends of the greatest warriors of Alganon. Essentially it is an in-game database, both accessible from in-game and on MyAlganon. Players contribute to the database by delivering discoveries to their major cities libraries, though reading of the information is available anywhere in the game world. Alganon is slated to release October 31st, 2009..
