ArchLord Overview
ArchLord is a PvP heavy3D Fantasy MMORPG. The game was originally released as a pay to play game in North America in October 2006 and has since been re-released as a free to play game. The game originally released with terribly poor game reviews by nearly all large game critics upon launch, but the game has since evolved considerablly and is now well worth checking out. The is currently on it’s third major content updated called ‘Spirits Awakening’ and there are surely more to come. The game’s playable classes are:
Humans
Knight - Knights are the generic ‘warrior’ archetype. They are the most proficient melee characters and have the largest pool of hit points.
Archer - Archers are capable of dealing damage quickly from a distance but are vulnerable in melee combat.
Mage – Mages are the standard offensive spell caster in ArchLord. They are capable of dealing massive amounts of damage incredibly quickly but are extremely vulnerable to melee attacks, as they have the least hit points in the game.

Orcs
Berserker - Berserkers are similar to human knights, in that they are the primary melee class of the ‘orc’ race. Unlike knights though, they are better at dealing damage quickly, but they sacrifice some defensive capabilities for this benefit.
Sorcerer - Sorcerers are the ‘mage’ of the Orcs. They are capable of casting deadly spells and killing their enemies from a distance, but they are incredibly vulnerable to melee attacks as they have incredibly low hit points and low defense.
Hunter – Hunters are the ‘Archers’ of the Orc race. They are extremely agile and are capable of dealing damage from a distance with the use of a bow. They are however, vulnerable to melee combat.

Moon Elves
Elementalist - Elementalists are perhaps the most powerful ‘magician’ class in the game, as their spells tend to be a bit more powerful than their Human and Orc counterparts. But unlike the other two races, Moon Elves can only select two classes while the others can select three.
Ranger – Rangers are the equivalent of ‘archers’ for the Moon Elf race. They can deal damage quickly from a distance using their ranged weaponry, but they are vulnerable to melee attacks.
