Dark Ages takes place in a world that is a fusion of Irish legend, Lovecraftian horror, and Korean anime. The game is an isometric MMORPG originally from Korea, where it is called Legend of Darkness and has been online since 1998. In addition to the usual combat and level cycles of the MMORPG genre, there is also a playable political and religious system.
There are the four basic classes and gameplay of the fantasy genre, plus an anime-inspired monk. In addition to the usual community of most MMORPGs, there are also creative contests whose rewards include elite status and clothing.
