''Crowns of Power'', also referred to as ''CoP'', was a 3D fantasy-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that was launched live on August 21, 2008. It was developed by Rampid Interactive and its development can be credited to a team of 5 people made up by Peter Simard, Matt Ensign, Matt Tapply, Bogdan Iliesiu and Chris Bechard. The game was distributed off their main site through a free download, as well as other distributors such as Download.com.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher= CNET Download.com )〕 The director, Peter Simard, was interviewed by Deborah Marshall of GarageGames in September 2008 for successfully developing an MMORPG with a pitifully small development team.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= GarageGames )〕 ''Crowns of Power'' was showcased by Rampid Interactive at the E3 Expo in Los Angeles on June 2–4, 2009 at the Los Angeles Convention Center as an Exhibitor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Electronic Entertainment Expo )〕 == Gameplay== ''Crowns of Power'' fell under the MMORPG category, drawing inspiration from the text-based MUD genre of old as well as the traditional role-playing games like ''Dungeons & Dragons'', ''The Realm Online'', ''Meridian 59'' and ''EverQuest ''. In ''Crowns of Power'', players created a character's appearance and chose a color-based spell school〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Rampid Interactive )〕 Players used their avatar to adventure through a fantasy world called Arder. Players progressed through the game by slaying mobs and completing quests which yield experience points for levels and loot like armor, weapons, potions, magical spell runes and artifacts. ''Crowns of Power'' allowed players to interact with others through role-play, grouping, raiding and the joining of guilds,. There was also the ability to duel players, converse with others in a World chat, trade and place items for sale in a player driven market. The game world consisted of 9 environmental zones and 4 dungeons. Multiple instances of this world were available across various servers that could support small numbers of people online at a time. Mana, like most other games of this genre, was the energy source that allows a player to cast spells. In ''Crowns of Power'', some spells required additional “reagents” to cast, which were items that were consumed upon casting the spell and could be purchased from non-player characters (NPCs)or found off mobs in the world. Mana was expanded by gaining levels, doing quests and discovering “Mana Nodes” throughout the world. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crowns of Power」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
