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!

Music of Oganalp Canatan

Fellow Illarionites,
the composer and singer of the band Neverland, Oganalp Canatan, has agreed to compose music for Illarion.

The quality of his work exceeds everything we know and might make Illarions music become a beacon among free roleplaying games.

Please visit his homepage to see examples of his work.

We are very glad to get support of this calibre for Illarion.

Is it a feature or is it a bug?

Fellow Illarionites,
"Is it a feature or is it a bug?" - to make such things clear, we gave the Mantis bugtracker an overhaul and a new structure.

http://illarion.org/mantis/

From now on, we'd like to ask you kindly to report any problems with the game in the project "Bug reports", only. You don't have to sort in your report into the categories Client, Server,... anymore. Without knowing about the architecture of Illarion, you can submit your bug reports immediately. We'd like to ask you to write your reports as detailed as possible.

Furthermore, the Illarion staff will use Mantis from now on as project management tool. That means that we'll coordinate all development work with Mantis to let other developers know about the progress of individual projects.

In this context, we'd like to offer you the opportunity to submit your elaborated and detailed(!!!) proposal how to change existing features or suggestions for new features. For this, please use the project "Feature request". Please be aware that we need detailed informations to realize a feature. "Make Illarion 3D and implement horses!" is not a proposal.

We'd be happy if you use this way only to submit your proposals directly to the development process of Illarion!
