1 - What is Cyrin?

Cyrin is a free graphical multiplayer-online-roleplaying game (MORPG) being in development at the moment. The creators of Cyrin have the goal to create a real roleplaying game in its proper sense - Not another action-adventure-graphicchat-RPG-degeneracy like there's enough of available in the net ;) Furthermore, cyrin is to be playable on a wide range of platforms and systems. So it will allow windows-, linux- and mac-users to have a shared roleplaying experience in one and the same world.
