Dominus Online

Dominus Online is a cancelled PC MMORPG by Regulator Studios LLC. It was to be set in the 28th century in a medival fantasy world. Hmm.

Plot
The world has no gods and deities the worship. The Dominus race needs guidance. Pick a race and conquer this world with your friends or you alone.

Gameplay
The land is divided into four main continents. You travel between continents via boat or magic spells. The many various dungeons are accessed by a magic spell that summons a portal inside.

There was to be eight races to choose from. All can be male or female, except Ishad (all female).

Dominus Online was to be a PvP based game, whether it be 1v1 or guild vs guild. For guilds it was going to use group-based combat skills and UI. You obtain land and fight others for more land. So basically like Rust.

The game was combat orientated with a weapon generation system like Diablo II. You can also learn magic. Here are the six types of magic:
 * Earth
 * Matter
 * Minstrel
 * Divine
 * Spirit
 * Mind

Outposts are important. These are purchased at cities by players. Outposts protect your land but need a steady inflow of gold to afford the guards. More outposts means more of an economic boost to yourland via cheaper goods.

Development
At one point - 2003? - a more anime aesthetic was added. This alienated the interested, turning away potential players.

Cancellation
By 2005 the game ceased development. The success of World of Warcraft may have been the final nail.
