Start Here: Introduction to The Counter Earth

The Counter-Earth is a Survival RPG based loosely on the World of Gor Saga by John Norman, in that it is a world counter to the planet Earth, opposite the Earth's Sun. It is ruled by mysterious Gods, and the world is restricted from the use of advanced weapon technology.   NOTE: This world is not Gorean in nature - it is only loosely based on some of the aspects introduced in the saga.

How it Begins

Imagine Earth as you know it is even more populated than it is today. That nothing has been done to fix the environment and that natural disasters are increasing. The Earth wants to reset. Mother nature is not happy with the way that we humans have been treating our planet.   The air is no longer fresh - it is hard to get a glimpse of the blue sky and most animals have been driven to extinction. There is barely any room left for agriculture to meet the demands. People are turning chaotic against the system, but it is too late for change. The bacteria that is we humans have eaten all that is available on this agar plate, and it is time for the population to die off.   The planet as you know it is on the brink of destruction.

The Rumours

You've heard rumours that for all these years, although stories were told since the Roman times about a Counter-Earth theory, that there has indeed been another planet counter to the Earth's sun. So perfectly aligned directly behind the sun, that it has never been discovered. Rumours have it that strange beings who rule over the planet have managed to keep it hidden from our advanced signals as well.   Little did you know that since the '70s, a man known as Temujin Calidius has been on this planet setting up a colony. A fresh start, where the people care about the planet and its environment. Will you find your way to this planet?

Your Adventure Begins

Upon joining the Counter-Earth RPG, you will start off in an introduction zone which consists of two areas:
  • Earth (City of Preston)
  • International Space Station
These introduction zones are open areas for you to learn how our system works, get accustomed to our lore and are more forgiving to newer role-players who have a tendency to go out of character (OOC).   This zone is completely free to play and players are welcome to stay in this region as long as they wish. Even if players do not wish to travel beyond Earth and the International Space Station, they will be able to permanently roleplay here as Earthlings and live on planet Earth in the city of Preston or on the International Space Station.   Players will be able to complete quests to earn money (dollars) which can be used to purchase food and drink for survival and rent pre-furnished apartments and space cubes to live in and enjoy.   Upon completing all the starter quests and getting accustomed to Counter-Earth lore and establishing yourself with a backstory, you will have the opportunity to purchase yourself a ticket to the Counter-Earth. A full region that is made for members only.
