Twelve Sands is a standard text RPG adventure where you have to explore the austere desert-like environment of the 12 sands and its cities. The game is ran and developed by its creator swrittenb.
General: the basic concept is to discover the lands, survive and fulfill quests.
To this end one can chose one of five classes:
- Warrior
- Rogue
- Mage
- Bard
- Cleric
Each class has unique skills, but one has the ability to change class once every 3 days. Additionally one can mix skills from other classes if they so wish to.
The game uses a standard 24 hr period roll-over, a standard 1-channel chat, an independent player's wiki. Quite innovative is the possibility to do a temporal dungeon-run: an re-run of most of the quests up to and including 1 level 12 quest with the goal to win a special piece of powerful armor that can't be bought. You are allowed up to 3 alt persona per basic free account. The game has a keyboard combat bar you can configure yourself, and it has PVP possibilities.
