Imagine a world with no limits to growth or power. The World of Pain opens its gates to a harsh yet captivating universe filled with ancient continents, dark towers, and cities that guard centuries-old secrets. Here, every step you take is more than just movement, it’s part of a grand story shaped by your own choices.
Choose the race that best matches your spirit: from noble Elves and steadfast Dwarves to cunning Vampires or wild Wolfen. Each offers unique strengths and challenges, shaping how the world interacts with you. Define your starting class: Alchemist, Warrior, Mage, Cleric, or Thief. If your strength and perseverance carry you through hundreds of levels, you’ll unlock new horizons of multiclass progression, transforming your playstyle into an entirely new experience.
You’ll travel across Kalpusha, Malus, Ithilien, and Numquom, exploring the unknown and battling what lurks in the darkness. Beginners are protected from death up to level 50, but as you advance, you’ll face zones with open PvP combat, random discoveries, rare artifacts, and raids on the legendary Dark Tower. The world imposes no ceiling: mortal levels are infinite. Every battle and every quest victory strengthens you, bringing you closer to a new turning point in your destiny.
The World of Pain awaits to test your resolve, imagination, and will to triumph. There are no easy paths here: only your choices, and their consequences.
