What's So Great About Secret of the Solstice?

Secret of the Solstice has a strong feature set that sets it apart from many other online games, including:

Free to Download, Free to Play

* Secret of the Solstice is free to download from Outspark. Registering for an Outspark account is also free, and allows you to play not only Secret of the Solstice, but any of Outspark's other games as well.

Active Community

* Secret of the Solstice's large community is full of friendly and helpful players. It's easy to make new friends in the game, and SoS includes many community features such as friends lists, guilds, and active official forums.

Hand-Drawn Graphics

* Graphically, Secret of the Solstice combines the best aspects of 2D and 3D. All characters, NPCs, and monsters are richly-detailed hand-drawn sprites, but the gameworld itself is rendered in full 3D. This allows for a wide range of impressive graphical effects while maintaining a charming old school feel.

In-Game Events

* There's always a reason to log on to Secret of the Solstice. The Game Masters (GMs) run two to three different in-game events every day, which range from scavenger hunts and "find the GM" events like "Save Iceman!" and "XBI Most Wanted" to large scale player versus player matches such as "Solstice Survivor." Visit the SoS event calender to stay up-to-date on the latest events and plan your in-game activities ahead of time.

Character Class Customization

* Secret of the Solstice features a deep class customization system that allows you to change classes to match your playstyle. Currently there are thirteen different character classes in the game, and more classes are beging added all the time.

Emoticons

* Even as simple smilies, emoticons are fun! :) However, Secret of the Solstice uses emoticons in an exciting new way. SoS' emoticons aren't simple, text-based ASCII art, but animated emotes that describe your current mood - like "loving heart" and "inner peace" - or allow you to playfullly slap allies or congratulate them on a job well done.
