Nowhere Else and Beyond:About

When and why this game has been created

Jan 2005, Alain Bertrand (the creator of the game) decided to try to create a real RPG like the old ultima series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima) but which should run on a browser without plugin. The main intentions was to see if it was possible, and how well this could runs. In less than 3 months, a first public version was available, and the first players joined the game.

Plot on the main island

Nowhere-Else and Beyond is a heroic fantasy MMORPG on a world where two main factions are fighting an endless fight: the Earth gluers and the Island levitators. You will be able to help one, the other or both fractions in some way. Of course you can do other things for yourself like becoming the richest in the world, the best gladiator or even create and manage your own island that other players can visit. It's up to you.
