Welcome to the world of Illarion!

llarion is a free, graphical fantasy game that focuses on true roleplaying. Come and join the world of Illarion. You'll fully emmerse yourself in this world, as though your character is a real being. All of the characters around you will behave as real people in this independent, mysterious world. They'll tell you about magicians, ghosts and fairies in some of the most unbelieveable stories and rumors. Pick a race you would like to play: human, dwarf, halfling, elf? Maybe an orc? Or even a lizardman?

Please don't expect experience points or other numbers inside the game which reveal your skills. Just follow the role you want to play, in time you will see whether you become a great warrior, fighting against the various evils of Illarion, or the most respected master smith of the town. Perhaps even the most popular barkeeper because practice makes perfect. Druids and magicians will cast mysterious spells with herbs and runes. In addition to all of this, each race speaks its own language but all are able to speak the common language of Illarion to make themselves understood.

We are offering our own server, a Java client (which can be used with Linux or Windows) and the guarantee that you will never, ever, pay anything for this game. To ensure this we founded a registered society and it became contractual in the statute. Illarion has been online since February 2000 and is always being developed by programmers and volunteers to satisify the wishes of the player community.

Even you can't resist the magic of this world!

Proposals

Fellow Illarionites,
the Illarion e.V. society has decided that from now on only members of the society and active contributors can post on the proposal board. Still, everyone can read what is being discussed there. This happens due to two main reasons:

Currently, the developers of Illarion bundle a very big update of changes to the game, including various proposals of the past. Implementing this update has main priority and currently, there is simple few to little manpower available to implement new things that one could propose.

Also, the quality of proposals on said board is persistently low so that barely anything was ever taken into consideration what was posted there. Instead, a lot of time was spend by staff members to moderate, read and, sadly, decline the vast majority of threads. As a matter of fact, most developers ceased reading the board entirely.

This does not mean the Illarion e.V. or the developers are no longer interested in your opinion on the game. We're usually available via the Illarion chat to discuss the game and its content and you can send your well prepared proposals to any developer instead of posting them in public. Interesting suggestions will, of course, then be discussed by the staff and implemented.

Furthermore, for obvious imbalances and bugs, we ask you kindly to use the Mantis Bugtracker: http://illarion.org/mantis/
