Fallen Phoenix Online is an ORPG based on the world in the Harry Potter books. You start life as a student, freshly arriving at Hogwarts. From this you go to the Great Hall, ask the Sorting Hat to "sort" your into your house, then, simply, do whatever you want!
The game is powered by the old 3.0.7 Mirage Source, but with many many modifications added, including a powerful scripting sub-engine named SayScript. This script control allows players to say certain things in certain places to execute code on the server. You will also see the spells you cast hitting the target, and (when I finish the script) go towards the target.
There are currently only around 50-60 maps, but each map is full of stuff to do. Some of the main features in the game:
Be a student, prefect, head boy/girl or even a teacher, deputy head, head teacher or a governor at Hogwarts.
Cast all the spells used in the book and many more that are being added.
Visit all of the locations around the world used in the books, including:- Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, Gringots (where you have your own vault) and many more.
Challenge people to duels for money, pride, or just for the hell of it (you can set if it's a friendly duel, i.e. don't die)
Work for the Ministry of Magic, hunting down PKers, and receiving an amount of bounty per kill/jailing.
Or, if you fancy, work against the ministry with the post-Deathly Hallows Death Eaters (where, instead of having a ministry which has places to sell items etc, you have your own underground city where you can buy from the thieves of the world)
Build and manufacture wands, potions or herbs and be paid by the shops for each unit created (i.e. collect wood, build broom handle, etc)
Own your own pet/s! You can have a pet follow you around everywhere you go which, not only is a richness symbol, but also protects you from damage in some cases! (i.e. the pygmy dragon will add a damage bonus of 10hp dmg of fire for EVERY spell you cast! including in PVP combat!)
Hotkeys! No longer will you have to type each spell over and over again in combat. (You can /hotkeys up to 9 spells and instead of typing the whole spell, you just press the number, a little box at the bottom of the game screen will come up saying what spell's set to that hotkey, and you just press Enter!)
There are many more features in this game, and many more are being built.
The game is currently at version 1.8b, by 2.0 there will hopefully be microphone support, so you no longer have to type spells or use the hotkeys, you can just say the spell name into the mic and it will cast it for you.
The homepage is
www.fallenphoenix.org . However, this page is currently not complete (as you can probably see), but it will be operational soon enough.
I am also looking for staff to help run the game including GMs, Mappers, Community Support. (I can do the programming, I just don't have the time to do the maps etc at the same time). If you're interested please contact me though MSN (gavin_2_2000 at hotmail dot com) (please also mention that it's about FPO, or I'll be confused
).
Thanks for reading and I hope to see you all in the game soon
