Rating: General
Player Level: Intermediate

"Dear player,

For a long time I have been watching over this game and enjoying the sight of people laughing and being happy in the world I have created. But then I noticed that some of you completely forgot about the real world. You turned your back on your families, friends and beloved ones. You used this game to escape from problems of real world and now it's time to teach you that ACO is not an escape.

I've returned all players to the starting point where you have no inventory, no money or skills. You have to start this game anew but this time it will be game of survival. In order to survive you have to work, eat proper food, watch out from illnesses which I have now added into game. It's just like real life except that you still have to fight monsters. None of you will be able to log out until at least one of you has beaten final boss. Just so you know there are total of 1000 bosses, one stronger then the other. Also please do not forget if you die in battle, starve too long, have been sick with strong disease you will die for real. I wish all players good luck!

Yours faithfully,

Kawakami Yoshihiro"

The current king, Gunther Pendragon, has departed to Avalon with most of his Gunslingers and Caliburn Knights to combat a rising warlord known as the Goblin King.

"We strive to live in the moment, to never waste a moment of it. Yet when games came, our humanity began to slip, and I noticed that. We decide to not care about our mortal feelings or way of life. Rushing head first into situations that we knew that would kill us.

"This....is a test. To see if any of you still have the humanity you have left inside. If you want to leave, you must beat the game. Fight the final boss, on the last level of the labyrinth. Collect the item that drops from it, and you have beaten the game, and freed everyone.
