Paradox Online
By Gazar Software

Description
 Paradox online, the massive online world, is currently the main project by Gazarsoft. It is a role playing game that will be totally free, both to download and to play, offering people the opportunity to take part in an online culture, and interact in sophisticated, or brutal ways, as the player wishes.

The world is set after a colossal war in which the very plates of the planet earth are ripped asunder, and a cataclysm ensues. In the maelstrom of the elements new powers surface, bringing back to humanity the ancient gift of magic. After the world has calmed, and the elements are once again in a state of equilibrium, the few survivors emerge to rebuild to world into a thing of splendour.

However the magic that came into the world bought with it the effects off corruption, great wizards came to power and struggled over arcane items. Demons and other awesome beasts were bought to the surface, and now roam the planet tormenting the innocent. Not all the technology was lost in the collapse either, some humans, adept in the invention of machines, began to discover weapons from before the collapse and to put them to use. Some turned bandits, raiding caravans on the open roads that had re established trading. Others equipped soldiers, making their fortune, and developing even more advanced technology, eventually producing armoured vehicles to match the might of the powers wielded by the mages. The world continues to spin, time goes bye, and great mages clash powers with machines and demon flesh. Cities grow, and are destroyed, and even greater powers are unveiled, new machines are designed and built. The influence of one man can never be underestimated in the battle between light and dark. Welcome to a land where technology coexists with magic. Choose an ability, choose a side, steady your hand, and give all you can for your cause, be it yourself, or as part of the greater forces that roam the land. Learn new skills, face new foes, overcome challenges, achieve the unachievable, and become a living legend, only when this has been done can one truly appreciate, the Paradox.
