The Secret of Atlas

Unlock the Secret of Atlas -- a virtual world filled with magic and intrigue.

▸ Play in your browser

Atlas is a total-immersion role-playing game, set in medieval times, unlike other Multi-User Dungeons. Individuals from around the world gather here -- and many have called it home for over a decade.

Choose from different classes, each with their own unique abilities. Learn spells that can immolate your victim or heal you instantly. Purchase a shop to sell your novelties, or buy the virtual home of your dreams. Your destiny awaits.

We keep Atlas welcoming and PG-rated, so people of all ages can share in the fun, without language barriers or negativity. New here? The Help Library holds hundreds of pages on every class, spell, skill and command.

The realm

A world with a decade of history

Wreck ashore on the isle of Hope and make your way into the unknown. Fight, quest, and grow -- carve a legend across a world that thousands have shaped before you.

Spells & magic

Command the realms of fire, water, wind, earth and the mind -- burn a foe to cinders or mend your wounds in an instant.

Shops & homes

Buy a shop to sell your wares, or claim a virtual home of your own to furnish and defend.

Clans & quests

Band together in clans, chase the quests woven through the world, and climb the ranks of the realm.

Choose your path

Fifteen classes

Twelve are yours from the first breath ashore; three more are earned only by those who remort and prove themselves.

Open any class in the Help Library for the full page.
