Seviss Isles Roleplaying PW

The “Seviss Isles” is a dynamic persistent virtual world that features a detailed campaign setting that a Dungeon Master (DM) or World Builder (WB) may use to develop adventures within and host 24/7 for community/friends or play on a periodic basis through saved games. This release requires the expansion packs; “Shadows of Undertide” and “Hordes of the Underdark”.

Unlike most Persistent World (PW) modules, Seviss Isles is meant to be played either as a single player or multiplayer game and is referred to as a Persistent Virtual World (PVW) due to its automated management of world resources. This is possible because of the Dynamic Object Management (DOM) programmed into the module; creating, adding, managing and removing objects depending upon player’s actions. There is no need to reload the PVW or requirements for DM clients to reinitialize area settings. However, it is recommended that the PVW is run on a separate server as a persistent multiplayer world with the occasional interaction of a DM in the world to provide additional adventure / RPG experiences.

The PVW is composed of more than 500 areas, each controlled by the DOM system. Within these areas Non Player Characters (NPC’s), containers / corpses, along with placeable objects are spawned into the PVW upon the area being activated by a PC entering that area’s bounds.
