Abandoned Realms is proud to unveil its newest player race! The ettin.
Ettins are unique in that they must be controlled by two people at once.
This opens up such gameplay opportunities as one player doing the moving
while the other takes care of bash. However, once lagged, the entire ettin
will feel the dramatic setback. Read 'HELP ETTIN' to learn more about these
amazing two headed behemoths.

I see the purpose of multi happening just for this race.. although, does that mean you can have two different classes? I'd think not.. it'd be hard to control, although be interesting.

It will be interesting to see how a ettin exist and also more important how two players control Ettin. Who knows it might work wonders!

Yeah, read the help file on Ettin. I remeber April fools day last year, a few of my friends played a not so good joke on me, they told me that abandoned realms was being shut down and that they were deleting the lower level charecters and getting rid of the areas that were never used. I can't believe that I actually fell for it. Well I guess that means that yes I have been playing for a little over a year now. Very Happy

how would the two people that need to control the ettin know when and where to go? or is it like one creature with two heads and two different decisions? i dont know this whole etting thing confuses me.

i) Its a deliberate copy of blizzard's stuff. the imps will find this funnier than you did - some players also noticed it, but they just said "blah blah you copied blizzard", and didn't stop to think it might have been my intent to actually do that. Knew this half of the joke was going to be too subtle for everyone to grasp, but anyway, it was a cheap pop at the imps, and also invited some cheap pops at me (which certain people took gladly, as I had intended).

ii) It pokes fun at gangbanging groups, i.e one guy does the leading while the others spam bash. Hence the "ettin", its a monster with two heads, one to do the leading and one to do the bashes - so this side of the joke was a cheap pop at players. Ironically, its the players most prone to bashing the imms for the blizzard joke rip off that would be most likely to fall into this second category, and that is what I retorted with when they brought i) up.

Next year I guess I'll just put banana peels on the battlements or something.
