Endless Ages bills itself as a “Massive Multi-Player Online Real Time First Person Shooter Role Playing Game.”
Players in this online game enter the realm of IIa, an afterlife where science and magic coexist and beasts of all sorts roam the land waiting to be hunted. There are four races to choose from: the powerful but slow Blobic, the fragile but crafty Amphibians, and the more balanced Human males and Human females (yes, women are a completely different race). There are no set classes and players are free to develop over a dozen skills (ranging from alchemy and magic to smithing and engineering) as they please. IIa itself has over 100 square miles of terrain to explore on foot or in vehicles with designated housing regions for the construction of player owned homes and shops.
The interface crosses the combat system of a first person shooter with the item inventory system found in role playing games. Each race has access to dozens of ranged and melee weapons and a variety of armor tailored for specific purposes.
The game also allows players to choose between a server that permits the killing and looting of other players (although with severe consequences) and a server that is Player vs. Monster only.
