Ashen Empires is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG). It's a free-form game - there are no limits to what you can do or learn with your character. It is similar to classic pen and paper games where your attributes (Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Constitution) determine how good you are at certain activities - there are no classes or restrictions. You can spend time hunting with friends, exploring the world, honing a skill or craft, or completing quests.
