Slurkum

Slurkum is a fantasy themed survival game designed to provide a unique experience. Explore a map of vast proportions with many points of interest, filled with a plethora of various monsters based on AD&D lore. Towns, villages, ancient ruins and unholy places strewn across the map in various realms. Develop your skills and reputation at a casual pace, claim land as your own for your housing, speak with townspeople for quests and goods to trade.Resources are plentiful through mining, hunting, monsters, and crafting throughout the land, and each region has it's own unique points of interest and monsters. Housing can be used with a land claim, factions can be joined for Order/Chaos conflict, capture bindstones for faction teleport networks. Game server environment is loosely based on key elements of popular mmo and simplified for a more casual gaming experience in that genre. Using a purely authoritative server architecture, Slurkum is made with the admin / host in mind, as well. With the built-in Game Master menu, administrators can designate trusted players as GM's for events, disputes, and more! As with any situation, awareness is key.
