About
Horizons
Horizons
is a next generation massively multiplayer online
epic adventure based in a fantasy world of legend and
lore. Playing as humans, fiends and many other
traditional fantasy roles, Horizons allows thousands
of players to adventure together in the civilized or
untamed frontiers of the world. Filled with
cities and towns, castles and strongholds, villages
and mystical structures, players must organize and
maintain communities in order to increase their power
and knowledge. Building communities in areas
like tropical jungles, a northern tundra or
wind-swept plains, players can adventure, as of one
of the many races that inhabit the civilized empire,
then choose their path - Explorer, Miner, Crafter,
Wizard, Warrior, or Settler on the new frontier.
