  • Summary: RYL: Path of the Emperor is a persistent universe or role-playing game (RPG). RYL players start off at Level 1, with minimal skills and abilities, but over time they gain experience points, through achievement, which allows them to advance to Level 2, and beyond. As RYL players advance to each level they discover new and stronger skills, which assist them in their ability to try and survive during all encompassing battles against powerful monsters. In the game, players can choose from 20 character classes and assume the role of a Warrior, Cleric, Mage, and Assassin and then explore the many exotic locations within boundless miles of terrain and virtual real estate. In RYL: Path of the Emperor players meet other players in a diverse real time environment where thousands of players simultaneously compete and take part in specific quests and missions, fight monsters and other players, battle in Guild vs. Guild duels, buy, sell and trade virtual merchandise, build fortresses and even raise their own virtual Dragon. Lastly, RYL players have the chance to receive the ultimate gaming reward; to become the actual Emperor of RYL, Rule over the Land and win $1,000,000. [Planetwide Games]… Expand

    The excessive amount of painful level grinding required to get anywhere in this game will bore most gamers to tears.

    Risk Your Life: PotE can be entertaining and thrilling, but it’ll take some work to make it that way.

    Risk Your Life may be right for you, but if you have a low frustration threshold you might want to look elsewhere. The initial learning curve is steep.

    Try Guild Wars if you want guild-versus-guild content, or "Everquest II" or "World of Warcraft" for a quest-driven MMORPG. Unless you're absolutely after that million-dollar prize, RYL is an easy pass.

    I played this game since they have only one server (Iveria) Now they have 2!!! I switch on the other server cuz I think Iveria server is full so that's why they have lags in there. What I really like is their PvP. And even though that I grind on a level up I still have fun especially when being in party.:)… Expand

    I like the game the graphics and the sound its fun to play. What I didnt like is the community especially the GM's that has the higher level. There is one GM that I asked If I join his guild When he learned that I'm in the small level he told me to "F**k off" geez that is rude! Anyway in overall I like the game. Im just avoiding rude GM's… Expand
