Unreal Tournament 2004 RPG Invasion
I have been playing the Unreal Tournament series of games since shortly after the original UT came out. I currently play the latest version of the game, Unreal Tournament 2004. I usually play under the name YourEvilTwin.
Months ago, I discovered a neat mod that played like RPG. Appropriately enough, it is called UT2004RPG. Back in the day, I and my college buddies played an RPG-themed mod for Quake that was plenty of fun. Though that old Quake mod had lots of bells and whistles, this mod for UT2k4 is much simpler, and much more enjoyable. Servers are configured to remember you and your stats, so when you gain levels, you gain them for good.
Unlike other RPG mods I have seen, the skills are fairly generic, which allows gameplay to (mostly) remain recognizable. Too many times I have seen RPG mods that practically require a 50 page manual and extensive training and key binding to play effectively. With UT2004RPG, you can pretty much just play like you normally would, with a few minor exceptions. Check out the many skills and weapons that you run into while playing UT2004RPG. There are also artifacts, but I won't discuss these because my server does not use them.
Gameplay in UT2004RPG is fairly straightforward. For each kill, you get experience points. When you earn enough points, you automatically advance to the next level. When you advance to the next level, you also earn stats points. You use the stats points to enhance your player's skills and abilities, which in turn help you to make more kills, and thus completing the beautiful circle of life . . . or death.
The RPG server I play on utilizes the Invasion gametype, so instead of a high level ruling in DM, players work cooperatively to clear the map of all the monsters. It is the "]UR[ UT2004 RPG INV Server." It's a nice community of gamers that hang out there.

This server is definetly the best RPG server there is out there, But if anybody here wants to start out then IF you go on the UR server you need to stick with it, its not something you can play and at first be the best there is, after about lvl 23 you can fight and stick up for yourself. Enjoy yourselfs!
