Overview
Legends of Kesmai (aka LoK or Legends) is a community oriented, multi-player, role playing game. Legends is set in a fantasy world centered around the Island of Kesmai where wizards, thaumaturges, fighters, knights, martial artists, and thieves band together to explore and face the many dangers of the island and the surrounding lands with the use of magic, prowess, and pure brute strength.
It is a combat oriented game that emphasizes tactical challenges. There is no single objective to the game; the game is open-ended. Players pursue various ambitions: skill, discovery, adventure, wealth, power, and ability to help others; often pursuing these ambitions over several characters' lifetimes. The game has proven to be enormously compelling.
Development History
Legends of Kesmai (LoK) was among the first successful graphical multi-player online role-playing games. It was based on a slightly stripped down version of Islands of Kesmai and was available for play at America Online as well as offered free to users of Compuserve and a now defunct site called GameStorm. Prior to that, Kesmai Corporation ran a long open beta for the game, as well as hosting the game for a short period of time in the mid 90's. In 1999 Electronic Arts bought Kesmai Corporation and in 2001 shut down LoK.
