Change the world
Players should be able to change the world they venture into. These are some of the systems that make that possible in Profane:
Living and breathing world: explore a continually changing world filled with Dynamic Adventures, NPC Factions, and more.
Build: an open Building System allows you to create anything from small houses to entire cities in the open world.
Destroy: Nothing is fixed on the world map. All structures can be destroyed, be it an NPC City, an encounter, or even a Dungeon.
Conquer: claim lands, set laws, and collect taxes while trying to keep invaders away.
Collect skills: As you explore the world, you might discover and collect several Elemental Skills, choose which ones will be part of your build.
No classes or levels: improve your Proficiencies as you perform them, not by assigning talent/attribute points.
Mind your actions: or face the consequences of negative Karma!
One massive world: servers across the globe connect into a single shared map and one unfolding story
Skill-based combat: action combat, using WASD for movement and mouse aim with no assistance.
No risk?
no story
Dropped your loot? Keep moving forward. To leave a mark, you'll need to become greater than what you stand to lose, find a cause, and fight for it.
Instead of asking you to fit into predefined classes, factions, and stories, Profane gives you the freedom to shape the world around you. Its story unfolds in real time from what players are doing.
You're not the hero
You are not the hero destined to save the world. The story is unwritten, and threats will emerge and change over time. Depending on the path you choose, the world might one day need saving from you.
don't be forgotten
An MMO world shouldn't stay the same after you've passed through it. Build, destroy, rescue or kill. The world reacts, and what you do leaves a stain. In Profane, the world remembers you.
Come back with a story
Each time you venture into Profane, you come back with a story to tell. The world changes as you explore it. No two adventures unfold the same way.
BUILD
ANYWHERE
destroy
anything
Build villages, cities, or even empires. Defend what you've claimed, fight those who threaten it, or seek destruction and push your borders into someone else's territory.
the change we want
Like you, we're frustrated by RPGs that give you a role but little power to shape the world around you.
We believe your actions should create real consequences and help determine what happens next, rather than simply following a story someone else wrote. To us, that's what having a role in an RPG should mean.
It's not our first rodeo
Between 2015 and 2019, we created and delivered the first version of Profane, running it live for 2 years. We learned a lot and found out what it takes to give players freedom of action without the world turning into chaos.
