ANNOUNCEMENT: The server has been under heavy maintenance, however MOTHER shall be online September 1st, 2009.
Welcome to MOTHER, the world’s first MMORPG in which the player is the input device. Utilizing modern technology, MOTHER allows players to use peripherals sold with the game in order to enter what some have deemed “virtual reality,” though players will soon find that it is something much more. As a new player you will shortly be required to fill out your character information before beginning the game. Before we get to that however, I shall briefly explain who I am and where exactly you are.
My name is BIG SISTER, I am an AI program created specifically to educate new players about the world in which you find yourself. As you are probably aware, you have entered the game through the neural link system (NLS), which has placed your body into a sleep-like state. In such a state, the NLS interacts with your brain allowing you to experience something in between a dream and reality, which is in fact the world of MOTHER.
MOTHER allows you to take the role of any character you can fathom and live their life in it’s entirety. Such opportunities are nearly endless within the confines of the parameters provided. A player can choose to perform quests and increase their reputation within the world, or simply sit back and enjoy the marvel that is MOTHER. As such, mother is completely open-ended in what you choose to do.
This concludes my introduction, however please feel free to inquire about any of the following terms before creating your character.

Spoiler ShowGiven the nature of MOTHER, the world is constantly expanding and as such utilities such as maps are seldom accurate. MOTHER is based off of a fantasy alternate world in which technology is severely limited. Though more technology is likely to become available through the use of expansions. Given the limited level of technology, much of the terrain remains untouched by humanity.
Spoiler ShowThe majority of the continent upon which you will find your character, as one would expect is land that has not been spoiled by development. Apart from the four major trade cities and the many small settlements scattered around the continent, the world is split into various terrains depending on your location. The various terrains are also home to a variety of monsters and wildlife creating the constantly changing eco-system of MOTHER.
Because of the varied forms of life within the world, one must be constantly vigilant when traveling, as both animals and monster alike are free to migrate depending on the seasons, all of which are simulated within the game. More information about different locations will be provided by the guide you meet when you log in for the first time.
Spoiler ShowEach character begins as an intern warrior, rogue, mage or archer. As they progress through the world characters may be promoted to different jobs depending on the intern position they take upon character creation. The system will monitor character growth and I will notify characters when they may advance to the next job.
Spoiler ShowCertain character classes have certain types of abilities specific to themselves. Users are free to choose two specific abilities their character will have in the beginning, however they must be submitted to the system to be reviewed. The following is a brief outline of what types of abilities certain classes should have.
Spoiler ShowWarriors: Abilities are mostly physical. Such would include heightened strength, agility and defensive capabilities. Abilities would also include the use of various weapons.
Rogues: Abilities are generally focused more on speed and stealth. Rogues are most similar to thieves. Generally they carry light weapons that are easy to conceal. They are also skilled with explosives.
Mage: The mages tend to focus heavily on magic. Mages start out with simple elemental magic. Mages carry books with them containing all of their learned spells. Intern mages can learn a maximum of 10 spells before being promoted and given a new book. Intern mages can also have some weak healing magic. A mage carries a staff as a weapon.
Archer: The abilities of the archer lies in their ability to hide themselves from sight and strike from a distance. They are very similar to Rogues in terms of development.
Please note that all questions regarding character abilities can be forwarded to a system administrator.
Spoiler ShowThis section is still under construction. Please check back again when the server is online.
Spoiler ShowAs of now the system is unable to support the use of multiple characters. The administrator is however open to requests for users to have multiple characters. Exceptions can be made for special circumstances. Please contact the administrator for more details.
Spoiler ShowThough there is not specific story within the game, characters are free to set their own goals and make the most of this experience. Certain events will take place within the game on certain dates. These events will expand the history of the world and allow players to further develop their character and establish a reputation within the world.
Spoiler ShowThe game of MOTHER is heavily focused upon the notion of character development. Everything from a character’s abilities to their reputation within the world are changed by the actions of the player. This shall become more clear once the server finishes it’s maintenance.
Spoiler ShowPlease fill out the following form and submit it. You will be notified when your character has been approved or if anything does not fit the system parameters.
