Online RPGs? Look no further than Kojin!
What is Kojin, the Soul of Samurai?
Online RPGs, which are also known as online roleplaying games, and the text-based genre of online medieval games are both categories into which this game loosely fits. Among the many online RPGs, and very few (at the time of writing) of those medieval RPG games on the internet, Kojin, The Soul of Samurai offers an unique atmospheric approach to the player of RPGs. In most online RPGs which are text-based, the roleplaying and the roleplayer are enforced externally, or at best recommended, through a game's rigid coding or an administrator regulation. But, this game comes alive by its very nature: the solitary samurai, shadowy ninja clans and wandering monks, as well as the women and lords, all jostle for recognition and self-betterment, expanding themselves just as much as they expand their power; all the while, the cherry blossom trees open and the silk worms covered in dew dangle in the morning sun. Every battle, duel, quest of enlightenment, and every employment depend not just on the other players but the rich and colourful world which allows you to do anything and be anything, as though you truly live in medieval Japan.
This RPG's Raison d'Etre
The creator of this RPG aspires to revolutionizing online games as a whole by removing the focus, as is common, from the death and slaughter of automated creatures and, unlike any of the online RPGs on the internet, place the focus most heavily on conjuring a rich atmosphere devoid of simplistic button pushing. While most online RPGs have an uncharacteristic command set, this online game uses plain English. While most online RPGs have rigid skills which you must acquire, this RPG allows you to learn anything. While most online RPGs have implausible non-player characters, this game, more than any other of the online RPGs, tries to make them as much like real players as possible. And while most online RPGs have arbitrary statistics, this RPG has only one statistic: your character as a person. In other words, those who play online RPGs and are seasoned killers or questors or chatters, might find themselves novices again...
Online RPGs: Additional
Many players will be looking for games which they can master, in which they may rise to the top or be the best in everything, and those new to online RPGs will desire a colourful atmosphere. Both character types are accomodated in this broad, limitless online RPG.
ALPHA STAGE
Because the game has not been fully coded according to its design, the creator maintains that it is in its Alpha Stage. In essence, this means that the game's uptime might be sporadic since whole new waves of change are instituted near-daily, yet it also means that there is the opportunity for you to suggest ideas to the creator. If you are a seasoned player of online RPGs, have spent a great deal of time satiating the desire to play online RPGs, and, of course, you are interested in contributing, you may wish to contact the creator of the game.
However, many who have not much experience with MUDs, online RPGs, or RPGs in general, yet often enjoy and play online multiplayer games, will find this news to be of some disappointment. Therefore, a quality MUDs list has been offered for those willing to look elsewhere to play online RPGs.
