The 4th Coming first debuted in 1999, and was sold to its current developer in 2006. A classic, top-down 2D RPG, The 4th Coming allows players freedom in choosing their own paths via distribution of skill points into attributes that best reflect a desired path for their characters.
The 4th Coming is different in that there is no central hub and all servers are licensed and slightly different from each other. The core game remains the same on most, and most also remain free to play, but there are a couple of p2p servers as well as The Kingdom of Goldmoon, a server that is telling a completely new story within the game. Prospective players should check the servers page to determine which best suits their interests.
