Warrior
“I clear the way. You just tell me where.”
Makhes · a fantasy MMORPG in your browser They saved a place for you.
In Makhes no one crosses the five lands alone. Four travellers are already under the tree, laughing at something that happened on the road. One is missing.
Makhes · from the Greek μάχες (mákhes) · noun, plural
Battles.
The plural of μάχη, “battle”. A world with this name does not hide what is waiting for you. What it does not say is that none of them is won alone.
Under the tree
You don't know their names yet. You will.
In an MMORPG, the story that stays is not the world's. It belongs to whoever stood beside you when the boss changed form.
Mage
“Fire, ice or lightning? Pick one and stay behind me.”
Rogue
“If I vanish, it means I'm already behind him.”
Priestess
“No one falls while I am standing.”
And you, who will you be?
Everyone arrives as an Adventurer. At level 5, Helena asks this same question.Choose my path

The Old Road
Every great story starts small.
Yours starts on a dirt road, with whatever fits in your bag. At the end of it lies Dário's Village: rats in the stores, a flock loose in the gardens, and a watchman who needs two more hands.
You help. You level up. You make your first friend. And one day someone points beyond Vandória and asks if you're coming along.
The map of Makhes
A world too big for one traveller.
Twenty-two places joined by the same road. The village sits in the middle, the city of Vandória just above it, and around them the five lands: each asks for more levels, and more people at your side, than the last.

Rank
The ten who have gone furthest so far.
It is the same list the game opens when someone types /rank, read straight from the server. You climb by levelling up; on a tie, experience decides.
The best of the realm
By level and, on a tie, by experience.
Six things they will tell you on the way
The ground warns.
Every boss attack shows on the ground before it lands. Read it and step out in time.
The sky changes.
The clock of Makhes never stops. Night falls, rain comes, the fog rolls in, and everyone sees the same sky.
The world remembers.
Those who fall leave their bones on the ground for an hour. Everyone who passes will know.
A party pays more.
Up to five in a party. Every companion nearby raises the experience from a kill, and the gold is shared.
Every drop has a name.
The same dagger can drop common or legendary. Rarity and attribute are rolled on the spot.
Practice counts.
Sword, shield and magic grow with use. The more you fight one way, the better you get at it.

When night falls
It's dark now. They are still under the tree.
There is an empty log by the fire, with a folded cloak and a warm mug. That place is yours.
