Welcome to the Solaris RPG website and forum community. This website is dedicated to the ongoing development of the text-based role playing game Solaris RPG which has been an ongoing project since summer of 1996. The game is actively played through chat rooms as well as through the forum community. Participating in Solaris RPG is somewhat like working with others on a collaborative story. Each player has a role in the game world and the more involved they choose to be the greater their role in the game will be. We try to focus on mature and literate game play to provide a creative outlet for all players involved.

We welcome all those interested, from those completely new to the idea of role playing and those who are intermediate or even advanced in the art of role playing. The game world of Solaris RPG is always evolving and growing, and the more involved a player is the more important their role in the game world becomes. This eventually leads to players improving upon and adding to the game world in their own way.

Solaris RPG has over twenty character races, over twenty different job classes, over thirty game world areas, and over forty unique quests available. Solaris RPG is always expanding and growing so there will always be new content available.

Getting started...

After familiarizing yourself with the way the game works you should create a character. There will be several pages of information followed by a simple form. You should also visit the community forums and register using your characters first name. Registering on the forums directly after submitting a character is recommended for a quick acceptance, especially if you make a post introducing your character. After you have registered on the forums and your character has been approved it will appear on the character page within 72 hours. You should be aware that Solaris RPG is a somewhat private game and every submission is checked personally by a staff member.

The second step is to register the same character name you used on the forums with the chat rooms. This does not require validation and is a very simple process. We keep the chat room registration separate of the forums because players usually make multiple characters and prefer logging in separately sometimes. If you're having trouble finding another character to role play post a message in the community forums. If you are interested in joining us feel free to follow the steps above. We look forward to meeting all new players!

World of Solaris RPG...

Nearly 10,000 years have passed since an event known as the Second Flux occurred. The energy wave created by the flux completely resurfaced the entire planet and over a period of time terraformed it into present day Solaris. Warriors from all over the universe arrive at random through spatial distortions caused by an unknown force. Not only are the warriors brought from distant worlds from other dimensions but occasionally from completely different timelines. It is typical for newcomers to arrive with the thought of having died, but this is not the case. Beings are usually torn from their lives only to end up in this strange land and although arriving on planet Solaris can be overwhelming to some and very disorienting to others the native races have survived here for many years. In fact, many of the natives find it quite entertaining when a random traveler pops up without a clue as to how he arrived. Eventually almost everyone finds their place.

The story of Solaris RPG is open ended and always changing. New players are always welcome and although we don’t know how some people miss it, we would just like to mention that this game is a text-based role playing game based in chat rooms and forums. New players should have reasonable typing skills, as well as a firm grasp on the English language, proper punctuation, decent grammar, and a positive attitude. We don’t really expect new players to catch on immediately, but we do try our best to help everyone.

Solaris RPG has proved to be a wonderful experience for those with a good imagination and creative side. Players may work on their own characters story, become involved with other characters, or eventually influence the game world itself. We thank you for your interest in Solaris RPG, and hope you join us in our endless journey…
