About Me

GemStone IV is the world's longest continuously-running MMORPG. For over fifteen years, Elanthia has been home to unholy abominations, wicked sorcerers, and the occasional scantily clad elven lass.

A vast world of epic fantasy awaits, full of quests to enthrall and foes to engage. The world of Elanthia is populated by a mixture of fantasy races both classic and original, driven by hundreds of players and a large staff of dedicated GameMasters. GemStone IV offers full customization of character appearances and items, engaging roleplay, developed and balanced classes, and a game world of dizzying scope that is constantly growing and evolving.

Sign up for a free trial on our website, www.gemstone.net , and rediscover imagination! Introductory quests and a knowledgeable staff of in-game Mentors await to help you discover Elanthia. We'll be waiting when you join the adventure!

My Interests

Fantasy roleplaying, creative gnome elimination, necromancy, MMORPGs.

I'd like to meet:

New players, people who are interested in fantasy, sorcerers with uber destruction spells, and you. Also, GameMaster Mestys.

Join the Mestys Fan Club and eat a sammich!
