Alganon is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) designed by David Allen, currently in development by Arizona-based Quest Online. Alganon was previously called "Crusade". Alganon is subscriber-based, requiring an active Internet connection. A closed beta is currently in progress. The game is scheduled for release on December 1, 2009.

Alganon is designed to be an innovative MMORPG that brings features such as the Studies system to users who may not have time to play the game as frequently as others. The game allows thousands of people to play together in a virtual world that features a rich history dominated by commanding deities, powerful weapons and armor, deadly magic, epic quests, ancient places to discover, the utilization of detailed tradeskills, and more. Designed from scratch and based in a uniquely created world, the initial goal in designing Alganon was to provide "Simple Gameplay with Unlimited Growth in a massive world of immersion and interaction".

Part of achieving Quest Online's goal was to create a game that made it easy for anyone to get started in and play, but also build the game in such a fashion that even the most skilled and hardcore gamer has the potential to grow beyond their expectations. A world where the casual and hardcore gamer alike can adventure, grow, build, and share their accomplishments with other players.

quote

The Asheroth embrace the ways of light, nature, heart and mind, and the values of order, obedience and protection. Their traditions reflect refinement, sophistication and a distinct preference for structure and cleanliness. The faction typically uses lighter materials, bright emblems and reflective surfaces. Members' eyes glow more as they gain power. In contrast, those of the Kujix darken. Their culture embodies chaos, assertion, conquest and the conviction that conflict naturally separates the strong from the weak, with power attained via subjugation. They employ somber stone and crystals in their buildings, and exploit the energy from volcanoes and other underground sources.

In the embattled world of Alganon, the Asheroth and Kujix each control a separate continent. Wishing to expand their respective spheres of influence, both are making their warriors as mighty as possible by such means as acquiring ancient weapons, learning new magic and engaging in enormous battles, all with the help of the deities they worship. US-based developer Quest Online is aiming to launch this massively multiplayer game, previously called Crusade, later this year, so we expect to learn more over the coming months. To help this process along, the team has agreed to tell us about various key elements.
