KRUSADE ONLINE:
Foreword:This is my first MMORPG I have made using Mirage Source Engines. I began developing it when I was new to Visual Basic and Sadscript, but over the monthes I have spent working on it, I have learnt a lot. The game is nothing special, and I am rather disapointed with it, but nonetheless, I present it to you.
I originally was going to disband this game, and release it to no-one and speak not of it, and just keep what I have learnt from it. But instead, I have decided to prepare it for an open-server release.
Krusade Online does have its flaws, and lack of features; But I may try to implement some more features in it such as mining, fishing, etc. The game also contains
NO female characters in it, so sorry to all female players out there, or female 'wannabes'

The game is also rather linear, the world isn't entirely open. But regardless, I hope you enjoy my first MMORPG.

Story:The North-East Empire had lived in prosperity for the last centaury. Their nation has been at conflict with the Shadow Crusade for almost a decade, but the Empire has emerged victorious over them. The motivation on these attacks has been caused by an emblem found decades ago by a philosopher. The emblem resembles one of many ancient treasures lost by the Azunite’s thousands of years ago. It was found in the venerable ruins of Darkshore.
Ancient history affirms that the ancient race of the Azunite’s held 8 treasures, all of which were emblems that held the power to control the elements. Philosophers deciphered the inscriptions on the emblem and learnt that the treasure they had found was the shadow emblem. The shadow emblem had the power to control darkness and evil, and they suspected that it could possibly be used against the Crusade who craved it.
The king of the North-East Empire did not want his philosophers to use the power of the shadow emblem, because he was concerned that this new found power could corrupt his empire, and that they may possibly become minions of the Shadow Crusade. A meeting was held in the Empire’s castle, to discuss what should be done with the emblem. It was suggested that it was to be cast out of the city, away from the Empire and away from the Crusade. This decision was applied and the shadow emblem was secretively thrown into the bottom of the Desolate Ocean, where it would never be found again.
As the years past, the assaults from the Shadow Crusade began to drop, until the Empire went 10 years without war. Talk of the Shadow Emblem was forbidden, and resulted in harsh punishment. The Empire did not want the Crusade to have any reason to believe that they still had the emblem.
But 3 years later, the shadow emblem shuddered, and opened up a maelstrom in the ocean. The ocean was partially destroyed, and new land was uncovered. They named this land the Desolace. It was an isolated swamp, and the shadow emblem was found by the Shadow Crusade.
The Shadow Lord, who was destroyed by the Azunite’s thousands of years ago was resurrected, and he built his great nation, and prepared the Shadow Crusade to take over the lands, and to claim the other 7 emblems, so that he could control the world.
Meanwhile, the Empire discovered ancient texts which spoke of all 8 Emblems. Each emblem was hidden away, possessed by 8 lords. Each emblem held the power of an element, and creates continuous cycle of power. The 8 elements which were imbued in these emblems were wind, water, ice, thunder, fire, earth, spirit and shadow. It was known that each emblem was hidden in a temple, and each temple was hidden across the land.
The power of the shadow element was unmatched, and the only way to adverse it was to have control of the spirit emblem, which would result in an ultimate battle between good and evil.
