Description: Corellia Digital's first massively multiplayer on-line game is based on their Build-A-Bear Knights franchise, which began in 40 ABY with Build-A-Bear Knights for the HoloCube. While the HoloCube was deemed a commercial disaster and most of its games dismissed as too childish, Build-A-Bear Knights continued when the HoloBoy was launched in 52 ABY, twelve years later, with Build-A-Bear Knights II: The Tides of Downy. During the Four Hundred Year Darkness, Build-A-Bear Knights III: The Phrik Throne was a rare gem of a game that could be found only within the Corellian System. The last title released for the fifth generation HoloBoy, before the destruction of Corellia and subsequent bankruptcy of Corellia Digital was the re-release of the original Bear-A-Bear Knights, with upgraded interface and graphics. Incorporating the story and events of Build-A-Bear Knights III, World of Build-A-Bear Knights brings the player to the world of Azarath, in the galaxy of Metrion, a fantasy realm somewhere in the Zinthos Arm of the known universe. Players create their initial character, based on playable classes subdivided into Disciples of Ma'jong and Disciples of Jar'kai.
Disciples of Ma'jong
• Sage - a strong healer
• Alchemist - a powerful sorcerer
• Librarian - a cunning strategist able to control enemies
Disciples of Jar'kai
• Warrior - a powerful melee fighter, able to soak damage
• Bounty Hunter - a ranged fighter, using traps and pets
• Smuggler - a thief and scoundrel, able to pick locks and disarm traps
A single character may occupy any and every class, simply by changing the equipped weapon, but must level each class independently. Additionally, the cross-skills system allows players to develop their character into unique hero classes. Such as the Jar'kai Knight, which is a combination Warrior and Sage. Players advance through the story, which includes a main storyline that unlocks higher level content, and side quests which may unlock additional features (such as recoloring some items). Characters are currently capped at Level 60, with additional content released as patches to the game via HoloNet.
