Marcoland, the game
This is a fast overview about the game, you'll find out what's the game about and how to play it.
First of all this is a role play game, so we expect you to create a real character, and to play with it in first person, like it was you, walking around town, making friends, fighting monsters, praying in the temple, all these actions are taken by you!
Text based?
Yeah, well, you know, all around computer's shop you find those incredible role play games, with great graphics, they take away all your PC resources, but they are real fun. What we think is: you can have the same fun, without installing anything on your pc, and without the great graphics.
So the game is all on html pages, you go around following links, but what makes it good is the dynamicity of the game, it changes every day, get updates, new monsters, new players to fight, new friends, and unlimited growth.
What you have to do
Well, if you follow the link to the signup page you will be asked a username, a valid e-mail address, and a password. You will receive an e-mail with a confirmation code you have to type in the address we send you. This will be the only mail you receive from Marcoland, no other mails will follow, we don't give your mail away either!
How do I play
Well, after you confirm your account you will be able to login. After you login I suggest you take a look at you character, he has strength, speed, mana, HP, and many other stats, as well as an equipment.
In order to fight you have to buy a weapon, so take a walk in the city, go to the blacksmith and buy one. I suggest you pray a little in the temple to increase your stats.
Then why don't you train a little in the fighting area, kill the low monster first, he's easy. Always keep an eye on you mana, when it runs out you are done with fighting actions for the day (it means you are tired!), but you can still buy, walk around, chat, heal, and much more.
And that's it
Yup, about it, till now, but I bet if you go inside you'll find much more to have fun with, and remember, the game is in costant development, and your suggestions might be implemented soon!

The evil Dr. Marco
A new day has just passed, as marcolanders fill the chat room. One by one, they group together and chat about their day in Marcoland. Discussions about their gains at the mighty temple of tiipsi , and their rewards in the training beach start up Marcoland's room for chatters, as partying and celebrating commences.
War commanderes of each town in Marcoland have been plotting for wars for many generations now, only to achieve the title of being the best town in Marcoland.
As hours progress after midnight, hidden under beneath miles and miles of rocks, a secret town is busy at work. The town: TEST has only been heard of only in legends, few were able to venture into the town, and come out alive.
Down in the secret caverns of the town, the evil Dr. Marco, plots for the destruction of Marcoland. The jealousy Dr Marco contains inside his soul of his twin brother, Marco the Great - founder of Marcoland, enraged him long enough.
Meanwhile in Marcoland, a large war between DnD and TG was happenning, to prove once and for all which town was stronger. Midway through the battle, the ground rumbles. The dead souls on the ground start to move... as if something big... large was coming! All attention of Marcoland shifts towards a distant sound.
As the image of a large demon approches, all the dead bodies on the battlefield of DnD vs TG, starts to raise, and become half man half dead creatures- undead!!! . Warriors fight for their lives as the demon approches against the undead. Nothing seems to be killing them, nor does the whole event seem to be clear to anyone.
As the people of Marcoland begin to worry, many people search for the sheriff and holy people of Marcoland, the people that run the land. As the townspeople approch the holy temple of tiipsi, Marco the Great, along with his loyal holy workers of Marcoland, step out, only to show that for some strange reason, all their strength has been stripped away from them. Warriors die, and buildings are being destroyed, along with towns in ruins.
Days pass by, with no new news as of who or what the demon is, or what he wants. Prayers made to tiipsi were made, only to have un-responsiveness from our God. All wars and invasions have been stopped, for who knows what the demon wants.
The best thing the Marcolanders knew not to do, was to fight each other, but to try and fight this demon and his undead army. Marco, who has been trying to contact tiipsi for days, finally seems to receive a sign from our God.
"I have receieved news from our holy god Tiipsi. This demon, this thing has been sent to us by a mysterious force, a force far greater than any warrior in marcoland. All of my powers as well as the holy workers of Tiipsi have been stripped away. The only chance of getting rid of this demon, whos name is Narchanthel, is to defeat him in a town war. I will try to contact Tiipsi more and more, to see if his powers will help us destroy Narchanthel, but the rest is up to you, the Marcolanders. We must bond together, and defeat this evil demon!!!"
As Marco the great finished his public announcement, marcolanders quickly gathered their equipment and belongings and headed off to group in a single town. The fellowship of towns was formed on what was previously known as DnD.
Preperations are made just before the war, for the people of Marcoland knew it was going to be an intense battle. Suddenly out of no where, a large meteror smashes into the temple of tiipsi. At a distance, the sound of Narchanthel's wicked laugh was heard...
Not far away, a foreign warrior, a strong one, decides to venture off of the towns, and escape the destruction of Narchanthel. The warrior, Mesona was his name, decides to venture off into the deep dungeons. After days and days of exploring the dungeon... he finds a note... a small note stating that the secret of beating Narchanthel, was in the dungeon.
Quickly, mesons rushes to the people of Marcoland, and explains his findings. Not long after, Marcoland quickly establishes a search crew in the dungeons, searching every corridor of the dungeon for any more clues. As the crew getes deeper and deeper into the dungeon, the more dangerous it got. Monsters of all sizes and strength attacked the warriors, as well as a familiar creature, the undead appeared. Mesona KNEW the source of evil wasin the dungeons of Marcoland.
At last, Mesona and his brave crew venture into a large dark door. When opened, they discovered the legendary town of Test... inside, they found the undead king, DR. MARCO! After long fights, the crew was able to bring down Dr.Marco. His falling, lead to the weakening of the undead force.
Meanwhile in Marcoland, narchanthel approched closer and closer to FoT. People of all towns gathered to create a force Marcoland has never seen before. Warriors, prepare themselves for the fight of their lives, as they draw their swords. As the undead forces get weaker and weaker, the warriors of Marcoland charged at the undead army and Narchanthel.
The battle commenced for several hours, several hard fought deadly hours. Alas, the people of Marcoland overcame the impossible, they defeated Narchanthel. The death of narchanthel restores the temple of tiipsi as well as the powers of marco and his workers. Parties are thrown to celebrate the victorious day... as marcoland has learnt to work together.
