Interact with your environment as it presents itself in the form of monsters and intelligent entities that can engage in conversation with you. -> What is Exodus about? Explore the continents with a party of like-minded players from around the world, on horse, on wagon, by boat, through magical gateways, or simply on foot. Do battle with fierce trolls, employ the arts of subterfuge to bypass patrolling bands of dark elves, seek counsel with wise dragons, and journey to faraway cities to learn the secrets of your chosen profession from masters sequestered away in guildhalls. -> What about other players? Player interaction is integral to the participants of Exodus -- be it forming a band of adventurers for the purpose of exploration, tracking down a devious thief in order to bring him to justice, engaging in a full-fledged guild war over control of a city or land, or just talking, the players make the game what it is. -> How do I start?
