The game follows your character on his or her path to become [[The Hero]] of a legend. After saving a dragon from a princess (Yes), he or she moves to Swordhaven, in hope of getting their reward. Instead, they found a burning city filled with undead and a giant, flying dracolich hovering just above the King's medieval castle. As he/she journeys inside it, they now start watching the overwhelming number of undead try to destroy the city, while the paladin Artix -- ([[Author Avatar|yes, that one]]) -- tries fighting them all in vain. [[The Hero]] goes to the throne-room to 'help the King', but instead they get to watch the legendary battle of Good vs Evil unfold: King Alteon, king of Swordhaven and ''all of his Pactagonal Knights'' versus Sepulchure, lord of the legendary ShadowScythe and proclaimed '''Master of the Undead'''. The two arch-enemies fight a fierce battle, with neither gaining advantage over the other. As they proceed to unleash their most powerful techniques... Something ''unexpected'' happens.

One of the primary features of the game is the abundance of Classes that one can pick and choose from. Since classes are treated much like any other item in your inventory (with the only stipulation that you ''must'' have a class and a weapon equipped at all times), it is quite possible for your character to have many different classes (as opposed to ''just'' one or two for the entirety of his or her in-game career like in other MMO games), with the only major limitations being that you can only have one class equipped at any given time and you cannot change classes (or any other items in your inventory for that matter) while bonking monsters in mid-battle.

 

 

According to Cysero, [[Arc Attack]] (known for their third-place victory in 2010 ''America's Got Talent'') became part of a musical number near the Doomwood finale. Other live events which also include rare items were held featuring the Third Birthday event with [[They Might Be Giants]], the 2012 ''Heroes Heart Day'' event with Mia J. Park, and [[The Magic Thief]] event starring Conn, Benet, Rowan, Pettivox, and the Duchess.

As of yet, they have also released a card-game based on the MMORPG game (Otherwise known as the AdventureQuest Worlds ''Anything Goes Battle On'' Battle-Card Game) and there are also some rumors swirling about an animated series in the work...

----

* [[Accidental Aiming Skills]]: {{spoiler|After being defeated, Vath is about to use his Chaos Dragon Amulet to sic Stalagbite on The Hero.

* [[The Bad Guy Wins]]: {{spoiler|Sek-Duat kills off Zhoom and the player by blasting them off the cliff and causes the rocks above them to cave in on them just in case they were to miraculously crawl up to stop him from claiming the Djinn's lamp...

** Nyctox when {{spoiler|Twilly voices that it's not the dark he's afraid of at all, leading to Nyctox's [[Critical Existence Failure]] courtesy of Twilly's [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]]}}. It's quite hilarious, really, as his variation is rather high-pitched.

'''Stratos''': '''NOOOOO! Not ''THIS'' day!''' }}

** Warlic just before Desoloth {{spoiler|bites off Galanoth's arm}}.

** Here's one: The Book of Lore that every player gets in their first quest that's used to track down their history? {{spoiler|Well let's flash forward to the Doomwood temple and it's used to translate an ancient book written in Dragon language that tells of the Elemental Champions. By EATING it.}}

* [[Composite Character]]: Ryoku is based on both Goku from [[Dragon Ball]] and Ryu from [[Street Fighter]].

** Drakath is both AQ and DF Drakath since he has his AQ Dragon Wings and possibly his AQ Streath and he has his DF Human Half

* [[Confusion Fu]]: The new Chaos Shaper class has this.

* [[Container Maze]]: The Warehouse in the [[Ctrl+Alt+Del]] event

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: So far your player has beaten {{spoiler|1=a battlemage, a Hydra, a Chaos sorcerer, a Cyclops and Imp Warlord, a drow Chaos DragonLord and his dragon, a Roc, several powerful Yokai, a giant skeleton Yokai, a Kitsune Chaos Samurai, a chaorrupted werewolf and vampire, a [[Twilight (novel)|sparkly vampire]] champion, a Dracowerepyre, an immensely powerful Chaorrupted Werepyre, another Chaos Demon (of the [[Deal with the Devil|sell your soul]] variety), a fake Chaos Lord, a Triceratops, a chaorrupted Drummer and Bassist, a mind controlled Chaos Lord rock star, a giant furry yeti-like creature known as Wendigo, a giant leech, a Lochness-like monster, a dragon even worse than the Red Dragon, a mana elemental, a chaorrupted being of mana incarnate, a powerful dragon of the Void, an immortal mummy lich god-king, a chaorrupted Sphinx, a powerful chaorrupted Djinn, the manifestations of the fears of Heights, Darkness and Death, Fear Itself, a zombified abomination created by Zorbak, a Dracolich, a lich cryptkeeper, an immortal arch-lich, the most powerful undead being in all of Lore, a chaorrupted troll, two generals of Good and Evil, a chaorrupted Medusa, a Chaos Lord troll prophetess, the prime fire dragon, an electric tornado, a sea monster, a crystallized form of the prime earth dragon, a powerful four-element dragon, an insane wizard living in the palace near Wellmet, a five-headed dracolich, and a chaorrupted version of the most powerful undead being in all of Lore.}}

** During the Fear Chaser event, Twilly does the same thing {{spoiler|through an innocent [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]] in the form of "Hey, you're right! It's not the dark that Twilly is afraid of at all!" that causes Nyctox to suffer a [[Critical Existence Failure]] while screeching a rather hilarious high-pitched [[Big No]]}}.

Twilly: WHAT?! }}

** Also, you get to punch out the Desterrat Moya, which is a creature very similar to Cthulhu itself.

* [[Eye Scream]]: Constantine does this to the previous Werewolf King, plucking his eyes out with his claws.

* [[Fan Disservice]]: In Chopping Maul, you really need not see two skeletons posing in lingerie displayed outside Mortisha's Secret...

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: The theme for the Bloodtusk Ravine storyline, [[Culture Clash|between]] the [[Cultural Posturing|cultured trolls]] and the [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|proud Horc warriors]].

* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: {{spoiler|Noxus was replaced by Chuckles as a lich, and Gravelyn plans to give him to Cysero to become a new weapon for her.}}

* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|The Hero and Drakath killed Ledgermayne in the climax of the Arcangrove saga}}.

** {{spoiler|Krellonos is killed by Khassandra and stole his power}}

* [[The Kingdom]]: The Kingdom of Swordhaven

* [[Klingon Promotion]]: A new Werewolf King is crowned when someone challenges and kills the current Werewolf King in ritual combat.

* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Deady does this in the 2011 Friday the 13th event when Lord Krom Wrath calls him pathetic for hiding in his teddy-bear disguise, insulting him for his lack of a sense of style and complying with his desire to see his true form before doing so. When the player asks why he doesn't do it all the time, Deady mentions that it's hard to get his real form back to the bear outfit.

** Midway through the final showdown with Baron Luca in the 2011 Mogloween event, he takes on a monstrous form that would do [[Castlevania|Dracula]] proud.

* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: Lots of Dragons out there. Also, another one of the main themes of Etherstorm Wastes.

* [[Our Genies Are Different]]: {{spoiler|Tibicenas, Saahir, & The Efreet}}

* [[Status Buff]]: The Bard class is mostly for increasing/decreasing stats.

* [[Stripperiffic]]: In AQW, gender is specific and there's only about two or three classes in the entire game that cover the entire body from neck to foot on a girl.

** Although later released armours tend to cover the players neck to toes for both genders<ref>Some to the point that the player appears androgynous at first glance.</ref>, while some skin-revealing armors apply to men as well.

* [[Stupid Evil]]: Sleezter Bunny.

* [[Sukhomlinov Effect]]: The werwolves victory over the vampires since the vampires are the side with the fancy uniform while the werwolves are not

* [[Super Speed]]: Kitsune uses this.

* [[Truly Single Parent]]: {{spoiler|Drakath is said to use Chaos Magic to create Chaos Lord Ledgermayne when he states that his chaos magic unexpectedly give the Chaos Lord life}}.

* [[Theme Naming]]: The Cauldron sisters are named after the famous line of the Witches in ''Macbeth'' (Double Double, toil and trouble. Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble)

* [[Take That]]: On one of ''AQWorlds'' latest banners they give a very thinly veiled pun to those obnoxious ''[[Evony]]'' ads.

** In the recently-finished Werewolf/Vampire War in Darkovia, the main boss fight is [[Twilight (novel)|a sparkly vampire that goes by the name of Edvard]], whose girlfriend Beulah dumped him for a werewolf. For the first day or so, [[Anticlimax Boss|he was the weakest boss in the whole game, with only 900 hit points and very little in the way of damage]].

*** Don't forget the Evil Dread part of the August 2010 Friday the 13th Event. In order to stop Beleen's pink monsters, they have to say the fail-safe words from the movie ''The Day the Earth Stood Still'', the Hero and Artix make jabs on the fact that the remake didn't state the infamous words--[[Klaatu Barada Nikto|you know the words]]--any time during the film.

* [[Tears of Blood]]: {{spoiler|Actually, in this case, Tears of Lava. FEAR, the big boss of the Fear Chaser event, has these}}.

* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: {{spoiler|The hero says this to Maximilian Lionfang after he [[Kick the Dog|burns the gifts to Blizzy's horror and laughs maniacally at the burning of the gifts]]. Naturally, just the fact that he/she says "You'll pay for that!" is enough to let Lionfang himself know that he's in BIG TROUBLE.}}

** The Great Godfather of Soul also says this to the hero after he/she wins the /Dance /Dance Minigame and therefore takes his title of dancing champ from him. This is where Chaos Lord Discordia is mentioned for the first time ever - the Godfather himself vows to make him/her pay for stealing his title away from him with Discordia's help.

*** To be fair, he said that to Voltaire because he blames him for helping the hero defeat him. He keeps true to his promise to get revenge on him in the cutscene before fighting against Yahorneth, Lord Krom Wrath's pet, by ambushing him and dragging him somewhere to beat up on him... but Voltaire survives the fight with him while the hero is defeating Yahorneth, and shows up alive revealing that he got the One-Armed Bandit's mechanical claw in place of one of his hands in the process of his fight with him.

** In the Bloodtusk saga, after helping to defeat the Alliance Soldiers led by Cynari and Tibias, who enforced martial law on the ravine, and afterwards sending the Horcs and Trolls back home to rest up from all the fighting they did with said soldiers, the hero declares that he/she woill make the Chaos Lord running the events in the ravine pay for everything he has done to the ravine after discovering who it is and when he/she finds him... {{spoiler|who later turns out to be Krellenos}}.

* [[Tomato Surprise]]: {{spoiler|Artix, Champion of Darkness.}}

** {{spoiler|Gravelyn, Champion of Light.}}

** Well he is powerful in the original ''[[Adventure Quest]]'' as well.

** Artix counts also. {{spoiler|Known to be a paladin in many a game, in this one he's the Champion of Darkness who cannot use light-based magic, but the spirit-orb based power of an Undead Slayer.}}

** {{spoiler|Vordred gets even worse in Doomwood Part 2 than in Part 1 as Sally is rebuilding him with Chaos magic provided to her by Drakath, and becomes only capable of saying two words: "MORE SKULLS!" And things get even crazier when the fully-completed Chaos Vordred is introduced}}.

** {{spoiler|1=The DoomBlade gets this when Sepulchure finally refuses to kill his own daughter after pummeling her so much, and again when Gravelyn purifies it into the Blade of Destiny}}.

** There's also the {{spoiler|the crossdresser armors obtainable from the twins in tercessuinotlim}}.

* [[Villainous Rescue]]: {{spoiler|Drakath when saving The Hero from Nessie unnoticed.}}

* [[White Mage]]: Healer Class.

* [[Whole Costume Reference]]: Gravelyn's Slave Bikini

* [[Wings Do Nothing]]: You character's wings are just for astetics; even if you're falling off the side of a castle with great angelic wings, you're still going to cannon-ball into the [[Soft Water|moat]] below.

* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Anyone afflicted with Chaos.

** This is also true of the Necromancer class, as stated by its character panel description.

* [[The Worf Barrage]]: {{spoiler|Artix and the Hero's ''Ultimate Dragon Soul Spear of Ten Million Spirit Orbs'' attack fails to have an effect on Vordred.}} It's even lampshaded:

'''Artix:''' Yup. }}

** It does, however, {{spoiler|give Artix the opening he needs to use the Spirit Orbs to blow apart Vordred's skull armor so that he can be defeated for good}}.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Players are capable of changing their hair color, and they can even change it to green, blue, purple, or even white.

** Captain Stratos of the Skyguards has Blue Hair.

* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: {{spoiler|Zahart has Tibicenas do this with one of his servants after they have uncovered the red diamond used to awaken the Chaos Sphinx}}.

** Drakath would often choose the next Chaos Lord to replace the current one after the current one has served his purpose well in summoning his/her/its Chaos Beast.
