TomeNET is a multiplayer fantasy dungeon exploration game based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, AD&D and other influences. It is a game that emphasizes intricate, challenging, and varied gameplay over graphics. Hundreds of different monsters in randomly-generated, unpredictable dungeons will strive to slay you by various means, and you counter - if you survive - by developing the skills of your choice and wielding mighty artifacts.
