Priest is a cancelled PC MMORPG by JC Entertainment.
It was to be based on the graphic novel by Hyung Min-woo.
Gameplay
Priest was to be set in the wild west of New Mexico.
You would play as a preacher, following in the footsteps of Ivan Isaacs, the protagonist from the comic.
It was to be 1v1 combat based, whether it be PvP or PvE.
There would be two factions: the Preachers and the Pilgrims.
The Preacher want revenge against the traitorous gods.
The Pilgrims vow to stop the Preachers.
Each faction has four classes of people.
- Preacher classes: Shamans, Judges, Saints, and Executors.
- Pilgrim classes: Pilgrims, Pastors, Riders, and Dragoons.
Around 2003 these factions were changed to Templars and Heretics.
Players can change their class after account creation but not their faction.
You can customise the avatar's gender and appearance.

There would be quests and team activities.
Cancellation
In late 2003 JC Entertainment cancelled the game for unknown reasons.
Priest was reworked into Rust Online, which itself was cancelled
