Eternal City
The Eternal City is a long-running multiplayer prose game, developed and administered by Worlds Apart Productions. It is being published online by Skotos Tech under license.
Because The Eternal City is built on a custom game system created by Worlds Apart Productions, rather than the Skotos StoryBuilder Server, players will find their Eternal City experience somewhat different from that of other Skotos games.
Commands aren't quite the same and game systems work in unique ways. Nonetheless, as a flagship Skotos game, The Eternal City offers comparable gameplay to products developed using the the StoryBuilder Server – it emphasizes roleplaying, socialization, and a detailed and vibrant background, all hallmarks of the Skotos community. The Eternal City is a game of socialization and roleplaying. Players from all over the world join together in cooperation in the streets of Iridine for adventure and intrigue.
They interact as members of numerous organizations and political factions, from one of many of the gangs of thieves that rule Iridine's poorer quarters; to the soldiers and officers of Legio I; to the political factions of the Senate; to the selfless Corpus Salutari, who promise healing to all. The Eternal City is a game of conflict. The combat system in The Eternal City is one of the most realistic available in any online game. It supports numerous fighting styles, allowing for skulking archers using bows and arrows, brawny gladiators armed with net and trident, and proper soldiers wielding gladius and shield.
