Clan Lord is the Macintosh's first massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG),[1] made by Delta Tao Software.

On January 17, 2009, it was announced that Delta Tao would no longer charge monthly fees for play.

Game characters have been exiled by the mad Emperor Mobius to the Lok'Groton Islands for "crimes" against the Empire.

Characters are of seven races: Human, Dwarf, Sylvan, Halfling, Thoom, Ghorak Zo, and The People.

In addition to the dangers of the natural island wildlife, exiles must deal with other sentient beings, including the warlike Orgas, the Darshak pirates, the Undine (i.e., undead), and a group of ancient and powerful sorcerers.

Items are used more for cosmetic purposes (clothing) and access to additional abilities (e.g. a chain to drag fallen exiles to safety).

There are three quantities determining an exile's status: health, balance, and spirit, tracked through bars in the interface.

When the health bar is empty, the exile falls, and cannot move or fight until healed, or giving up and returning to town through Purgatory with a loss of experience.

Instead, those of the Healer class work to keep a group of exiles alive throughout a hunt or to repel invaders.
