Sphere is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) that immerses players in the world of medieval Europe where they have complete freedom to shape their own destiny. The story begins when a monk, brother Batist, discovers an ancient mystery of incredible power: the ability to create one's own Universe. The newly created universe absorbed him and a few thousand people from all over the Earth, cutting off its inhabitants from their home and forcing them to adapt to a new, hostile world. Sphere's huge continents are crammed with NPCs, monsters and other players inhabiting every square foot of the world. Within the world of Sphere, cities protect players and are used as main trade and political centers, with markets offering goods, weapons, potions, miscellaneous items and alchemy components. There are dozens of deadly monsters awaiting players, including dog-headed Orcs, dangerous Unicorns, Harpies, Zombies, and many more hideous creatures. Player avatars in Sphere are characterized by attributes and skills as well as social status. A player's social status depends on the number of successfully completed quests, or their status in the magic hierarchy and which school of magic they follow: alchemy and mantra.
