Gameplay
The game was hosted on two servers, each devoted to a particular play style: Phoenix, aimed at casual and newer players; and Fire Opals, dedicated to "serious" role-players. In the Spring 2009, the PvP and beta server Nemesis was taken off-line.
Rubies of Eventide could be downloaded played for free although users are given the option to donate. A "patron account" gave some metagame benefits such as bypassing server caps and viewing player profiles. A "gentry account" also gives extra character slots, access to the "Founder's Isle" and the player's character receives three magic items: a ceremonial sword, teleport ring, and a Gentry Cloak, which all offer small boosts to your skills.
