# Ascension Classless Game
# https://ascension.gg/llms-full.txt

> Project Ascension is a free-to-play classless fantasy MMORPG operated by
> the Ascension team. Founded in 2016, the platform runs multiple
> progressive and seasonal realms and a custom realm with 21 original
> classes designed in-house. Players build their own class by mixing any
> ability and talent in the game's library — there is no class lock-in.

## About the Game

Ascension is distinguished from traditional fantasy MMORPGs by its
classless character system. Instead of picking a predefined class at
character creation, each player constructs their own class by combining
any ability and any talent from the game's shared library. A character
can mix abilities and talents across what would traditionally be
separate classes, and the build is adjusted throughout progression via
random enchantments and the in-game talent system.

The game is free to play with optional in-game purchases via the shop
(`https://ascension.gg/en/shop`). The shop is integrated with multiple
payment providers including PayPal, Venmo, Paymentwall, and Cryptomus.
The classless system, multiple realm types, and regular content
rotations are available to free players; paid purchases are cosmetic or
convenience-oriented.

## Realms

Ascension runs several parallel realms. Each realm is a separate game
world with its own ruleset, progression curve, and character pool.

- **Bronzebeard** — progressive realm with a classic-style content
  rollout cadence. Content unlocks follow a timeline
  (`https://ascension.gg/en/timeline/bronzebeard`) the development team
  publishes in advance.
- **Area 52** — long-running realm with a character builder available at
  `https://ascension.gg/en/v2/builder/area-52`.
- **Elune** — a further realm variant in the Ascension rotation.
- **Conquest of Azeroth (CoA)** — a custom realm featuring 21 original
  classes built by the Ascension team. CoA has its own news hub
  (`https://ascension.gg/en/news/conquest-of-azeroth`) and its own
  progression and class design philosophy distinct from the progressive
  realms. CoA classes are not imported from retail games; they are
  original designs by Ascension.

Live realm status is available at `https://ascension.gg/en/status`. A
leaderboard (`https://ascension.gg/en/leaderboard`) tracks achievements
across realms that opt into the shared ranking system.

## Character Builder

The site exposes a character builder tool (under `/v2/builder/<realm>`)
where players can assemble a hypothetical character build — choosing
abilities, talents, and gear slots — without committing in-game. Builds
can be shared via URL. The builder is updated alongside each realm's
active ruleset, so a build created for Area 52 reflects that realm's
current talent and ability set.

## News, Updates, and Changelog

Ascension publishes updates in two streams:

- **News board** (`https://ascension.gg/en/news/board`) — patch notes,
  events, realm announcements, and community updates.
- **Changelog** (`https://ascension.gg/en/changelog`) — a filtered view
  of the same updates in a dense, chronological format aimed at players
  who want only the mechanical changes.

News items are categorised into general game updates, talent and
ability changes, world changes, website changes, system changes, item
changes, dungeons and raids, random enchants, and quests.
