GENESIS ONLINE - WORLD BUILDING

The Game World Overview

Genesis Online is a hyper-realistic VRMMORPG that became a global phenomenon three years ago. With over 500 million active players worldwide, it's known for its unprecedented freedom, complex political systems, and economy that rivals real-world nations.

Core Game Mechanics

Class System:

Classes are divided into tiers: Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic → Legendary → Mythic (SSS-Rank)

Upon character creation, players get THREE random class rolls.

Once selected, classes cannot be changed (creating a thriving account-selling black market)

SSS-Rank classes appear once in every 1.6 million rolls.

Each class has unique skill trees, growth patterns, and hidden evolution paths.

Level Cap: 500

Combat System:

Real-time action combat with skill cooldowns

Player skill matters more than stats (why Ren dominated despite RNG)

Death penalty: -10% current level experience, 24-hour stat debuff.

Permadeath in "Abyss Zones" (high-risk, high-reward areas)
