A new massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) has gone online, joining the likes of WORLD OF WARCRAFT and EVERQUEST. DARK AND LIGHT went online sometime last week and can now host up to 500,000 players on the same server at the same time.

"At launch, players will have access to an enhanced combat system, a deep crafting system and more than 400,000 monsters present on the ground," she said. "There are also hundreds of villages all over the world and a dense and dynamic transport system to emphasize exploration, ... among other features," said Stephane Quilichini, lead game designer.

"All items were rated on a quality scale of 0 to 100," Quilichini added. "Only level 0 items would be available on NPC vendors. Making items also requires practice. To avoid flooding the economy with useless items, as many games do, D 'n' L [has] the concept of practice items, which are required components for making the real thing. Thus, the more pairs of practice gloves you make, the better chance you have of making a real pair of gloves."

The virtual world is almost 11,200 square miles. For comparison, EVERQUEST has about 350 square miles.

The game is now available for your PC and costs a monthly fee of $14.99. Visit their site for more information.
