Dynamight Studios is back with yet another Fractured Online feature spotlight which the studio has been rehashing since they announced their publishing deal with Gamigo last year. Today, the studio dives into the PvP sandbox MMORPG’s alignment system.

If you’ve ever played an MMO with a D&D-inspired alignment system, you probably already know that your in-game actions determine whether you’re regarded as good, evil, or neutral by NPCs and other players. Dynamight takes this a step further by introducing limitations based on your chosen race and the amount of karma you’ve accumulated or lost as you progress through the game.

“Just as characters can change by gaining experience and developing their skills and talents, they can also change in terms of their Alignment. This simply means your character is not set in stone. The options you have to choose from, however, may be restricted by your choice of race and location, as well as your karma.

Karma is the indication of where your character stands between good and evil. It ranges from -10,000 (Diabolic) and +10,000 (Holy), and changes according to your behavior in game – how you interact with other players and the environment, which gods you worship, and more. When your karma is below zero, you are restricted to the Evil alignment. Otherwise, all the three options are open to you.”

Humans will be able to choose any alignment at the start of the game. Wildfolk, on the other hand, will be limited to a Good alignment and Demons restricted to Evil. You’re overall Karma points will also determine what actions you can perform. Your alignment will also determine how you’re accepted and treated in the planets of Arboreus (Good/Neutral), Syndesia (Good), and Tartaros (Evil).

“It’s all fun and flames on Babilis’ playground. These hellishly hot wastelands are paradise for all hardcore MMO players who want to enjoy competition at its finest. PvP on Tartaros is strictly Free-For-All, aside from the Nests where new Demons are born, and no punishment or limitation is imposed on Evil characters. A visit to this planet should be well planned!”

Basically, beware of Evil players unless you’re into hardcore full-loot PvP. You can learn more about Fractured Online’s alignment system by dropping by the official site.
