From the Website: The objective of the PlaneShift project is to create a virtual fantasy world in which a player can start from humble beginnings and advance to greatness in whatever path they may choose. PlaneShift is a Role Playing Game - be sure to read our roleplay guidelines! We will focus our efforts on the reproduction of a real world with politics, economy and many non-player-characters controlled by the server that will bring our world to life, even without players connected!
