Players can participate in player versus player and player versus environment gameplay throughout, as well as taking part in other common features of the medium such as questing, competing in competitions, and running their own guild hall.[1] Players can gain up to 61 levels and purchase special titles in game to customize their characters.
History
Act of War was created in 1998 and has undergone and survived numerous versions (called chapters) and administrations.[1] The current version is 7.0 and is entitled Act of War: A Call to Arms.
