Rubies of Eventide

About

Rubies of Eventide is a medieval fantasy MMORPG where players defend the mining city of Kaj Blood from bandits, undead, and beasts. You create a character to explore the 3D world of Vormis, earning gear and skills through combat and quests. The game emphasizes real time action with melee and magic attacks, while alliances and rivalries shape the player-driven world. Cooperative missions and player versus player battles add layers to the survival-focused gameplay. Built on the Lithtech Jupiter engine, the game offered detailed environments for its 2003 release. It operated for six years before closing in 2009, with a peak player base reflecting its niche but dedicated community. The developer’s influence from classic RPGs shines through in its structured class systems and persistent world design. Though long offline, its blend of PvE challenges and competitive elements left a mark on early MMO trends.

Storyline

The bandits control the lands to the east and south, undead lie to the north and all manner of beasts tread freely about the lands near the city of Kaj Blood in South Vormis. Duke Arkesita, currently fighting the Marshar in the capital city of New Jollis, has been unable to send help… all of their forces are spread too thin. The Baron of Kaj Blood, Ignatius Galadar, has asked that heroes come to his mining city to aid him in battle against the myriad of threats to his estates, the city and the surrounding lands. Back in your village everyone thought of you as one of the bravest people in the village, but once you entered the massive stone walls of Kaj Blood, the world became much larger. Creatures and people that can slice you in half without a second thought are common in these parts. One thing is certain; you will have to work hard if you want fame and riches… and twice as hard if you want to be known as a hero or heroine of South Vormis.
