Line 119:
* [[Our Monsters Are Different]]: And how! There are ''no'' typical monsters in Dereth. 3 eyed ogres, giant cat... bunny... things... hordes of rabid guinea pigs... Giant monkeys with 1' long feet and 12' long arms... 2' tall flightless dragons... three-legged land sharks... The only thing that is remotely normal is the Undead.
** Averted with a very small number of individual monsters. The elementals are fantasy stock (except the ones that mix 2 elements together). Most of the mice, chickens, cows and rabbits could pass for normal in real life.
* [[Perpetually Static]]: While the developers often come with plausible explanations for this, N.P.C.s have moved, died and even whole cities have dissappeared. Then there was the incident during the first year's arc (the Fourth Sending of Darkness) where the players were charged with defending the last [[Crystal Prison]] keeping the [[Big Bad]] in check. On the other hand, great rewards were offered to those who destroyed the crystal and set him free (players were required to go PVP to participate). In most servers a half-hearted defense was mounted and the crystal was quickly destroyed, but in one, Thistledown, they were able to mount a round-the-clock vigilant defense. Unfortunately the developers had expected the crystal to be destroyed for plot purposes, and thus were forced to intervene (in game, with overpowered [[GMPC]] characters) to keep all of the servers on the same page.

* [[Phlebotinum Rebel]]: Candeth Martine was altered by the Virindi. They regretted it.
* [[Point Buy System]]: The first major MMORPG to use this style of system. There are no classes, merely you are given a set number of skill points to take your skills from untrained to trained to specialized, and then must allocate experience points directly to them.
