Roma Victor - Definition and Overview

Roma Victor is an historically authentic MMORPG or virtual world based on the Roman Empire in the latter half of the second century. Roma Victor is being developed by RedBedlam Ltd (http://www.redbedlam.com) of Brighton and Hove, England and is currently in beta testing.

From what I have gathered in the Roma Victor forums,RV is based on in-game freedom. In RV you start off as either a roman slave or a free barbarian. As a slave you will do things to make your owner happy and give you money to buy your freedom, or you can escape him and become free by waiting 48 hours out of sight of the praetorians or your owner. Once free you can try to gain your roman citizenship. This can be done by either staying with your slave master from the start, or joining the roman auxilia and fighting your way up the ranks of the army till your a citizen. Once your a citizen the world is basicaly yours to shape. You can buy shops, animals, weapons, armor, import basicaly anything of the time period, and even become emperor/consul of Rome!

Some of my favorite features in Roma Victor deal with the massive amounts of freedom you have. In RV there are no magical barriers where you cant go, no lame infinite pack space, and you definetly wont be casting fireballs out of nowhere. You will be able to own NPC slaves and guards and cooks and shop keepers, anything realy. As a citizen you truly can do what you wish.
