What makes Zarhold different

Combat is a turn-based card duel: instead of an action bar your hero has a deck of their class and talent cards, 1 to 10 crystals per turn and a Class Power.
A classic MMO world right in the browser: a persistent hero, levels up to 60, talents, gear with item level, dungeons, raids and world bosses.
Live parties: in dungeons, raids and the arena every player controls their own hero, and empty slots are filled by the world’s residents — heroes with their own gear and talents.
PvP: a rated arena in four formats, a five-on-five battleground and duels with stakes.
A player economy: twelve professions, an auction house, mail, trading and guilds with a guild bank.
An open game website: a hero armory, ladders, Battle Chronicles with combat reports, a knowledge base with guides and a blog.

Descriptions for publication

Short

Zarhold is a free card MMORPG that runs in the browser. Players create a hero from one of ten classes, level up to 60 in a shared world, run dungeons and raids with other players and fight in the arena. Every fight is a turn-based duel of ability-card decks. Nothing to download: it plays on PC and phone.

Long

Zarhold blends a classic MMORPG with a card game. The world has twenty-six lands full of quests, dungeons for three, six raids and three world bosses for five, twelve professions, an auction house and guilds. Combat is a card duel: your hero has a deck made of their class cards and learned talents, crystals grow every turn, and the tank, healer and damage-dealer roles work just like in big MMOs — the boss hits whoever has the most threat, and the tank pulls it back with a taunt. In parties every player controls their own hero; if you are short of friends, the world’s residents fill the empty slots. For PvP there is a rated arena from 1v1 to 5v5, a battleground and duels. The game is free, runs in the browser on PC, tablet and phone, and has English and Russian versions. It is currently in a beta with no wipe; the worldwide release with a new realm is planned for around November 2026.
