World of Epoch

Introduction to Epoch
Epoch is a revolutionary VRMMORPG, or Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game of the fantasy genera. Once in, one has to choose one of the ten classes available as well as one of the twelve races. After both the class and race has been chosen, the player will be sent to a ‘Beginner Village’, where they will be forced to stay until Level 10. Once Level 10 has been reached, one may go out to explore the entire game world.

Races
Each race comes with a growth rate which will determine how half of their attribute points will be distributed, alongside a passive skill. This passive skill differs depending on which race is chosen, and will more or less synergize with the different classes. Also, the race chosen will bring changes to how the player is treated inside the game as some regions does not welcome certain races under normal circumstances. Each race belong to a Racial Power, which are the strongest organizations in the world.

The races are also split in several categories: Humans, Elves, Beastmen and Mutants.
