ThyQuest

From VbGORE Visual Basic Online RPG Engine

  Quests are our business! With more than 10 years experience in the text gaming industry (diku,
  merc, smaug, cotd) we've finally decided to look to the future, pulling out of our text worlds
  to immerse ourselves in colours and sprites - creating a graphical MORPG.  Blessed with this 
  great engine and community, it's no longer a task for us but an exciting new project!

[edit] Story

The thick, heady scent of brimstone. Black smoke and fire. The clang of steel striking steel. The screams of terror and triumph. The town is already ablaze, and the severed heads of those too slow or frail to escape adorn the cobbled streets.

Countless waves of green humanoid figures - goblins, orcs, trolls - assault a huge, heavily barricaded stone fortress. The green skins are moving faster than the archers on the walls can reload, climbing over their fallen comrades with war machines, ladders and burning torches to breach the castle walls.

Suddenly, a massive meteor explodes in the centre of the horde, throwing goblin limbs in the air and rendering the army asunder. Mages step out to reinforce the archers, and the castle drawbridge slowly opens to reveal legions of hardened, steel clad warriors who set upon the remnants of the army with vigor. Taking the enemy by surprise, it seems almost as if the battle has turned in their favour.

However, within minutes it's proved their last stand, and there is still no end in sight to the green skinned horde who continue rampaging and pillaging while they move through the town. Before the last stone falls, a dark figure crackling with magical energies can be seen striding through the horde, his voice only a whisper yet carrying far across the fields - Tanzean'al.
