Realm of the Mad God pits every player against Oryx and his innumerable monster horde. Killing as many of his creatures as possible to summon the Mad God himself for a duel is the main objective of the game. However, there's more to see and do.
Band together with other players to defeat all Quest Monsters, and then Oryx will finally show up to duke it out. All players on the server will be transported to his castle, where his Stone Guardians will need to be defeated. Entering the portal dropped by the Guardians will bring you to Oryx. It will take a team to defeat him, as he continually spawns his own demons to shield himself from your attacks. Oryx can take 85,000 damage before revealing he is in his Wine Cellar and pledging to return after another Realm of his minions are killed. He generally leaves behind some nice loot for his vanquishers.
As you level up, you'll find plenty of equipment that your class may or may not be able to equip. Find other players via chat to share loot with until you have the best equipment for your character as described in the Equipment section. The maximum level is 20, but equipment is not limited based on player level.
In addition to dropping good equipment, the gods also drop potions that can permanently increase your stats. Many players have taken to farming the gods for these potions, hoarding collections numbering in the hundreds!
As you gain experience, you also gain fame for your character. Accumulate enough (fame bonuses help), and your character might get onto the leaderboards when it dies.
As you complete class quests, you'll gain stars. With 5 stars per class, and 14 classes total, there are a total of 70 class quests to complete. For every 14 stars you gain, the color of your star changes:
0-13
14-27
28-41
42-55
56-69
70
Upon completing every class quest, one obtains the coveted white star. The Class quests go as follows, and are the same for every class:
One Star: 20 Fame
Two Stars: 150 Fame
Three Stars: 400 Fame
Four Stars: 800 Fame
Five Stars: 2000 Fame
Note that you can achieve this after death. Say I had a character with 1300 fame, and it died, giving me 2100 total fame. I would have "5-Starred" the class. Some players farm fame bonuses and sit in "trains" to 5-star classes early, but many people consider these "Fame-farmed white stars" not true white stars.
