Legend: Legacy of the Dragons

Legend: Legacy of the Dragons launched in Russia, Germany, Turkey, the UK and China. There are also Polish, Spanish and French servers. As of July 2012, the number of registered users of the game exceeds 8 million.

“Legend: Legacy of the Dragons” twice (in 2010 and 2011) won the Runet Prize (in the nomination “People’s Ten”, where the most popular Runet resource is determined by online voting). In 2007 and 2009, "Legend" was in fifth place in the "Top ten", in eighth - eighth.

The action of the "Legend" takes place in the magical world of Theo, devastated by a long war between Humans and the race of Magmars. The continuation of the conflict was fraught with the destruction of the fabric of reality and the invasion of the demons of Chaos, and to save Fae, the goddess Shear (the dragon-lord and successor of the ancient god of justice A'Aron) created two dragons that embodied the energy of the warring races - white, Erifarius, and red, Striagorn. At each new moon, when the forces of Chaos are strongest, dragons lead armies of hundreds of the best warriors of people and magmars and converge in battle. The victorious dragon takes the energy of the vanquished, and the forces of the two separated races join together to repel the onslaught of Chaos .

Race

Magmars are creatures emerging from the bowels of a volcano. They have a black and red tint of skin, hot lava flows in their veins. They live on the mainland of Khair . They differ in physical strength and fortitude.

Humans are creatures with white skin color. They live on the mainland Ogry . Not aggressive and not warlike, but forced to take part in wars. The army of people is comparable in strength to the army of the magmars.

Dragons

Striagorn - created by the Dragon Lady Sheara from the energy of the Mammar race and personifies the power of these creatures. His appearance makes mortals awe; tongues of flame erupting from the mouth of Striagorn are capable of destroying all life around. The main purpose of his stay in the world, Theo Striagorn, considers the struggle with the servants of Chaos. He is infinitely loyal to Sheara and ready to give his life for saving the world of Faeo, but is not very concerned about the fate of his wards-magmars. To his eternal adversary, the white dragon Erifarius, he does not feel hatred, realizing the need for fights.

Erifarius - created by the Dragonlord Sheara from the energy of the human race and personifies their mind and nobility. The silver skin of the dragon shimmers in the sun and emits radiance. Erifarius has a calm and good-natured character, but at the same time he is a fearless and determined warrior. Erifarius considers Foeo to conquer the world from the servants of Chaos as his duty, calling and purpose of life. He is fond of elven poetry. Striagorn treats his great black adversary with indulgence, not detracting from his fighting qualities, but considering him to be a lower intellectual level. He has a sense of respect for people, they pay him the same.

Cities

There are two capitals in the game, which are the bases of the game races.

O`Delvays is a city of people located on the mainland of Ogre. It is located in the picturesque valley of the Zarat River, where the vast green spaces of which are flooded with bright light. Clear lines prevail in the city’s architecture, the buildings are mainly made of white and gray stone. On the central square of the city is a religious building that looks like a well. Tradition says that it is the source of people's magic. On Eternal Street, the Tower of Power is located, which is a tall spire with the flag of O`Delvays at the top. The inhabitants of the city appreciate the beautiful, but at the same time they are not without practicality. Everything in O`Delvays says that its inhabitants are not warlike, but are ready to fight back any invader.

Dartrong is the city of Magmar, located on the mainland of Khair at the foot of the Blood Monster volcano. A high impregnable wall made of black stone fences the city from the outside world, and a moat with red-hot lava protects it from enemy armies. The rays of the sun do not penetrate these places, heavy clouds cover Dartrong with a dark blanket. The vegetation in this city is represented by rare trees without a single leaflet with black, as if charred, trunks. Instead of birds - bats that rush around at night through the streets of Dartrong, making chilling sounds. An ominous tension and the smell of blood are in the air.

Battle system

The combat system "Legends" combines the simplicity of the interface with an abundance of techniques determined by the class, equipment and other characteristics of the character. The decisive role is played by the sequence of actions of the player. In almost all locations (with the exception of large cities belonging to one of the factions) a free attack on players of a different race is possible.

Types of fights

Arena battles :

• Duel
• Group fight
• A chaotic battle is a battle between characters of the same race, which will be automatically divided into two groups.

Great battle - any interracial PvP battle in which 10 players participate on each side.

Battlefields are interracial group instances for groups of nine, three, or two players.

Castle siege - large-scale battles between clans for the right to own the castle and the treasury. They are held once a week (on Sunday at XX: XX Moscow time).

Clan wars are seasonal fights. The head or governor of the clan submits an application for battle, after which the enemy is selected by the clan. Clan members who have agreed to the battle are moved to a special zone - 5 islands for which they have to fight. Before the battle, the voivode blindly, not seeing the enemy’s positions, places his troops. The squad that conquered 3 of the 5 islands wins. At the end of the clan war season, teams participating in battles receive rewards depending on their place in the overall ranking.

Battlefields of Interworld - were available for a month in March and April 2012. A unique gaming event allowed Russian, English, German and Polish players to fight each other twice a week. In the Interworld, ordinary objects, mounts, pets, temporary effects and artifacts did not work. The necessary equipment could be bought in a special store; when leaving Interworld, purchased items had to be left. The event "Interworld" became a precedent in the gaming industry: before that, no browser game brought together players of multilingual servers.

Reputation and Faction System

In "Legend" there is a developed system of reputations. With the exception of the reputation acquired in the Great Battles, reputations are associated with factions - groupings ( NPCs ), united by common goals and / or values ​​(in exceptional cases, a fraction can be one NPC). To earn a reputation, you need to perform various actions (collecting items, destroying monsters, completing quests, etc.). The reputation is expressed in numerical terms and has six levels: Neutral (0-500), Recognition (500-1000), Friendship (1000— 2000), Respect (2000-3000), Honor (3000), Worship (3000; a special task is required). Depending on the level of reputation with each individual faction, the player gets the opportunity to acquire more and more powerful rewards for the character from her.

It is impossible to be in all factions at the same time: many factions are in a state of mortal hostility, caused by diametrically opposite values ​​(Good - Evil, Life - Death) or historical reasons.
