TMW features 4 worlds: The Mana World Classic (aka TMW Classic), Moubootaur Legends (aka TMW2), Source of Mana (aka SoM) and TMW rEvolt. Access is via 5 clients: Manaverse, Manaplus, ManaLauncher, Mana or Source of Mana (a client specific to the eponymous server).

🕶️ A bird's-eye view of "Source of Tales", one of the MMORPGs using the Manasource framework common to "The Mana World" ecosystem. Its graphics are not those of "The Mana World", but of the Liberated Pixel Cup. Two adorable characters in medieval garb - one called "Instructor Alard" - stand in a training area for knights (with striking dummies).

The Mage Council of Tulimshar has monitored events following the Great Quake and feel that something ominous is spreading throughout The Mana World. Monsters seem to of come out of every shadowy corner and petty dieties has begun to make presence in dark places.

Histoire

Commencez par la puissante cité-état de Tulimshar avant de vous diriger vers les vastes étendues du désert. Devenez puissant et explorez le petit continent d'Argaes où la magie est née. Dans The Mana World, vous êtes un aventurier et un tueur de monstres qui défend les peuples du monde entier contre les menaces créées lors du Grand Tremblement. Même dans les hauteurs glacées de Nivalis, on vous demande votre aide pour assurer la sécurité du monde et développer votre potentiel.

Le Conseil des Mages de Tulimshar a suivi les événements qui ont suivi le Grand Tremblement et estime que quelque chose de sinistre se répand dans le Mana World. Des monstres semblent être sortis de tous les coins d'ombre et des petits monstres ont commencé à faire leur apparition dans les endroits sombres. Le Conseil a lancé un appel et vous n'êtes qu'une des nombreuses personnes qui vont combattre les forces du mal, en les renvoyant dans les profondeurs d'où elles viennent.

Que vous soyez guerrier, archer ou mage, vous avez répondu à l'appel des dirigeants du monde pour combattre les ténèbres qui se sont étendues après le Grand Tremblement. En partant du désert de Tonori, vous vous frayez un chemin dans les forêts qui entourent Hurnscald ou dans les montagnes glacées qui entourent Nivalis. Les monstres n'ont nulle part où se cacher.
