*NEW RPG GAME* The Legend of the Green Dragon

Introduction

Welcome to The Hogwarts Experience’s new game: The Legend of the Green Dragon!

LotGD is a non-forum based RPG. You will need to use skills and strategy to work your way through this virtual world, with the ultimate task of defeating Lord Voldemort and his evil dragons.

Along the way you will meet hordes of fantastical creatures, progress through Hogwarts and beyond, learn to manage your special powers and make new friends.

You can explore the Hogwarts Castle, or the Village Inn. You may find yourself paying a visit to Ramius, Lord of the Underworld, and begging for your life from Hades.

We recommend you read through the following posts to get an understanding of the game once you’ve signed up.

Have fun, and good luck on your quest!

The first thing you will need to do is create a character. Once you have done this, you will be asked to choose a race, and then a speciality. Choose wisely – these powers will last you for the entirety of each level. Once you have defeated a dragon, you will have the choice of changing your race and power.

This is a fairly expansive game, with a lot of areas to explore. It's easy to get lost with all that there is to do out there, so keep in mind that the village square is pretty much the center of the village you start in. This area will give you access to most other areas that you can get to, with a few exceptions (we'll talk about those in a little while). If you ever get lost, or are not sure what's going on, head to the village square and regain your bearings.

Your First Day

Your first day in the world can be very confusing! You're presented with a lot of information, and you don't need almost any of it! It's true! One thing you should probably keep an eye on though, are your hit points. This is found under "Vital Info." No matter what profession you choose, in the end, you are some kind of warrior or fighter, and so you need to learn how to do battle. The best way to do this is to look for creatures to kill in the forest. When you find one, check it out, and make sure that it's not a higher level than you, because if it is, you might not live through the fight. Keep in mind that you can always try to run away from something that you encountered, but sometimes it might take several tries before you get away. You might want to buy armour and weapons in the village square in order to give yourself a better chance against these creatures out in the forest.

Once you have defeated a creature, you'll notice that you're probably a little hurt. Head on over to the Healer's Hut, and you can get patched up in short order. While you're level 1, healing is free, but as you advance, it becomes more and more expensive. Also keep in mind that it's more expensive to heal 1 point, then later heal 1 point again than it is to heal 2 in one shot. So if you're trying to save up some money, and you're barely hurt, you might risk a fight or two while you're a little hurt, and heal the damage from several fights in one shot.

After you've killed a few creatures, you should head back to the village, into Bluspring's Warrior Training, and talk to your master. Your master will tell you when you are ready to challenge him, and when you are ready, you should give him a shot (make sure you're healed up first though!). Your master won't kill you if you lose, instead he'll give you a complimentary healing potion and send you on your way. You can only challenge your master once a day.

Death is a natural part of any game that contains some kind of combat. In Legend of the Green Dragon, being dead is only a temporary condition. When you die, you'll lose any money that you had on hand (money in the bank is safe!), and some of the experience you've accumulated. While you're dead, you can explore the land of the shades and the graveyard. In the graveyard, you'll find Ramius the Overlord of Death. He has certain things that he would like you to do for him, and in return, he may grant you special powers or favours. The graveyard is one of those areas that you can't get to from the main Square. In fact, while you're dead, you can't go to the village square at all!

There are two ways to try and bring yourself back to life. You can try and convince Ramius to resurrect you, or take the tunnel and challenge Hades. If these fail, you'll remain dead until the next game day. There are six game days each real day. These occur when the clock in the village square reaches midnight.

As stated just above, there are six game days each real day. These occur when the clock in the village square reaches midnight. You also have a timer in your vital info, which lets you know how much time is left.

When you get a new day, you'll be granted new forest fights, interest on gold you have in the bank (if the bankers are pleased with your performance!), and a lot of your other statistics will be refreshed. You'll also be resurrected if you were dead, and get another chance to take on the world. If you don't log on over the course of an entire game day, you'll miss your opportunity to partake in that game day (this means that new game days are only assigned when you actually log on, being away from the game for a few days won't grant you a whole bunch of new days). Forest fights, PvP battles, special power usages and other things that get refreshed on a daily basis do NOT get carried over from one day to the next (you can't build them up).

There are a lot of other places to explore and things to do in this world, for example there is a daily riddle to solve, which will earn you gold and gems.

As the game progresses, you will build up gold and gems. To keep these safe, make regular deposits in Ye Olde Bank. You can withdraw your Gold at any time, and if you’re feeling particularly generous, even transfer some to another player.

You will need your Gold for various aspects of the game. If you wish to buy better armour, or a better wand, for example. If you don’t want to slum it with the plebs, and use the public toilets, you’ll need to pay for the facilities.

You might want to challenge another player in the battle arena – and you’ll need gold for this, or you may wish to start a clan.

You earn your Gold by winning Forest Fights, but you can also apply for a job. Visit Job Services for more information.

Grr the stupid stone golems keep killing me!

I defeated them one time and got 700 experience, but now I can't do it again The worst thing is losing all your experience.

Hello, anyone else here? Ohhhh- you changed it so it would say 3rd year! Thank you Elfie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I think you have more to fear from Raisty- I just had a great game last night- you know one of those magical ones where everything seems to go right? Not so much today.

hmmm .. I am annoyed by the fact that slumming is so unrewarding ... oh shoot... >.<"

and wow - everybody's so strong! hehe .. I'm such a newbie on the RPG... XD .. mwehh level 3... but I still need about 200 experience until I can challenge my master :D

Slumming can be good for gold...but it's funny how you can battle a moldy skeleton and only get 9 gold, but an Undead Kitten? Well that's worth 35 gold!

Grrr....Stupid customers!

My throat is still sore...I hope I don't need my tonsils out...I am way too old....I can't wait to gain on Raisty so I can return the favor of slaying him....

No, but I haven't stopped by lately....hmmmm....have you?

That's right, I just taught a lesson to a Tree Hugger trying to kill me with Propaganda Leaflets....oh I love this game!!!

yuppers, it's crazyyy... XD ... I fought against a mother who attacked with "9pm curfew" ... XD

I love these monsters!

You have encountered 80's Glam Rocker which lunges at you with Blinding Makeup!

I like it when I slay death and it reads Rigby has defeated Death!

I love my 8 permanent extra hitpoints and my unicorn amulet that heals me after each round of fighting.

wow, neat! :D that makes dying almost impossible!

Not quite, dying is still pretty easy to do in this game.

lol... I know... I've had 7 days of LotGD and have been revived uhmmm 7 times XD

I want a statue of me...or even just a bust!

how'd you do that?

you have to have 2 dragon kills and loads of gems!

oh no! I killed the rpg lol I was killing a monster thing and it all died on me - I must have hit too hard

edit: Its back! I didnt kill it!

woooah! *has just checked the list with the top 5's at LotGD* ... I have the most gems? .... I don't believe it! XD .... mehh it's just cuz I don't ever spend any mwahaha ... XD ... and I'm lucky enough to find them... but oh... who needs gems... I wanna find an amulet heeeheee

XD

One thing I like about this game is that it has a sense of humour.

I just got waylaid by a Cheese Hamburger who attacked with abundant colesterol!

Edit: There seem to be some server problems tonight. I've submitted a support ticket, so hopefully it'll get rectified soon!

Sometimes it goes really slow and it looses its skin, but other than that I love it!

Yes, the servers are running quite slowly at the moment.

I got a reply to my trouble ticket and they confirmed there are some server problems, and it should be running normally soon.

*fingers crossed*

just started playing yesterday

It has cured some of my recent boredom
