Black Gold Online was a free to play fantasy and steampunk themed MMORPG for PC (Windows) set in the divided world of Montel. On one side you had the Erlandir kingdom, mystical, shamanistic, and reliant upon the power of their magic to defend their homeland. On the other you had the imperialistic Isenhorst war machine, hell bent on extracting the world’s resources to fuel their mechanical creations and technological lifestyle. The two factions clashed for control of the world’s remaining black gold in the ultimate battle of magic versus technology.

Game Features:

Adventure System: As players begin their journey to greatness, they will have the opportunity to set off on Adventures – special game features allowing exciting blends of player vs environment (PvE) and player vs player (PvP). Some adventures are solo, while others will allow players to invite friends or team up with random members of their faction. Each Adventure offers valuable rewards, as well as difficult challenges.
Arena: The champion is revered while the shamed losers scamper off with their tail between their legs. The Arena is the stuff of ballads, where the great warriors of Montel meet to test their skill and prowess in 1 on 1 combat. Currently there are two types of Arena available within Black Gold Online: Balance Arena and Might Arena.

Chambers of Greed: Chambers of Greed are a unique gameplay feature to Black Gold Online, allowing players to acquire rare items in exciting open world dungeons that mix mobs with aggressive fellow players for a dangerous adventure.
Energy Well: As the war rages on, the two factions battle for control of the land. The Kingdom of Isenhorst rallies their mechanized legions, as the Erlandir Union summons the forces of nature and magic to their side. As the world’s supply of Black Gold dwindles, precious reservoirs appear throughout the land. Greed and desperation drive the forces against each other, as countrymen turn against each other in the Energy Well Battles.

Guard yourself, capture cities to control, and rule the land with Guilds.
Profession System: the equipment a player carries may mean the difference between victory and defeat.
