Rappelz is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

The game was developed by the Korean company Gala Lab, formerly nFlavor.

It is published in Europe and North America by Gala Lab Corp under their Play2Bit Co. Ltd. subsidiary.

The game was released under a different title known as Hope of Nations (Arabic: أمل الشعوب), and was commercially launched on 16 March 2009.

[2] Rappelz is set in a medieval fantasy world, dominated by three races: the Deva (who represent light), the Asura (who represent darkness), and the Gaia (humans that possess an affinity with nature).

Previously there were three servers in service, "Tyrant", "Baphomet", "Undine" and "Unicorn" (PVE).

Over time, she grew in tremendous power and with a ruthless ambition, rallied the people of Gaia to rebel against the world.

Not all the people of Gaia heeded this call, however, and the world was thrown into chaos.

It was only through the combined efforts of the three races of Deva, Asura, and Gaia that "The Witch" was finally captured and burnt alive.

The three races continue to co-exist with each other in the world of Rappelz but dark rumors have surfaced about the second coming of "The Witch" and the return of her terrible forces.

Also, combinations of equipment with the appropriate enchantment cubes can further increase its potency, as is the case with weapons, and are reflected graphically through a glow effect.

A weak weapon or armor can be formed into a stronger item without having to sell it and buy a new one.

Character levels are attained traditionally, by defeating mobs and gaining experience points.

There are also dungeons to be found, in which monsters are stronger, and experience and job point rewards are higher.

This enables the party to efficiently kill monsters and gain experience fast.
