Game characters have been exiled by the mad Emperor Mobius to the Lok'Groton Islands for "crimes" against the Empire. Characters are of seven races: Human, Dwarf, Sylvan, Halfling, Thoom, Ghorak Zo, and the People. Exiles may choose to pursue one of three professions: fighter, healer, or mystic. In addition to the dangers of the natural island wildlife, exiles must deal with other sentient beings, including the warlike Orgas, the Darshak pirates, the Undine (i.e., undead), and a group of ancient and powerful sorcerors.
In ClanLord there is still uncharted territory and there are continual effiorts ongoing to make it past some particularly difficult places, while every once in a while someone discovers some secret passage that has been practically right under our noses all along.
There are a lot of ClanLord fan sites, check them out, and you can play a demo character for free (but when you log off you lose whatever you have gotten), so it's easy to give it a try.
ClanLord isn't for everyone, but it does have the depth to hold a more thoughtful gamer's interest for years.
