Legends of Norrath was announced at the 2007 Sony Online Entertainment fan fair by (CEO) John Smedley.

Along with each Archetype was the ability to create a deck along a Light, Shadow or Neutral path.

[1] The tournaments awarded booster packs or rare cards to the winners, but were limited only to players located in the United States.

Players could pick from one male or one female from any of the listed races before answering a questionnaire that determined the avatar's stats.

There was also a single player version of the game: a story line that featured battles against the AI.

The final set, Drakkinshard, released 8 months later, would be the last one produced until the game's closure in August 2016.
