'Life of Rome' is a third and first-person massively multiplayer online action role playing game (MMORPG) set in the persistent world of Rome. The game is played from the point of view of both Roman and Barbarian; designed to emphasise roleplay and community using a faction system and player-driven politics. The in-game world is a 50km2 representation of Rome and its surrounding areas, including several small villages and Roman forts. Players interact with each other in a series of locations spread across the area. Major roleplaying-based storylines, purely optional, will be started and run by Breakout Studio staff as well as players. Players in a position of power may also affect gameplay by setting a faction’s agenda, creating long-term political, economic, or military goals, which are broken up into missions handed down through a faction’s hierarchy in the form of player generated and driven missions.

The world in Life of Rome features a full 24 hour day & night cycle complete with a range of dynamic weather effects. It renders physically based realtime atmospheric scattering, dynamic wind speed & direction and continuous dynamic moon phases.

Your characters ‘Comfort’ can be affected by the weather – staying sheltered during rain or keeping warm during the night will help keep your comfort level’s normal. This also applies to the suitability of the clothes you are wearing for the the task at hand, for example – working a furnace may decrease comfort, but visiting the bathhouse or taverna afterwards will negate the effects.
