Introduction
For thousands of years a merciless war has raged between the werewolves and the vampires. This is not just a war over hunting territories, this is the ultimate battle to decide who will rule the world! The war between the werewolves and vampires has also spread to the internet, you too have the chance to join one of the warring parties, perhaps tipping the balance in favour of your chosen race!
Game Basics
You require nothing more than an internet connection and a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) to play MonstersGame. Click on "Register" and decide whether you want to join the clan of the vampires or that of the werewolves. Registration is quite easy, doesn't cost you anything and there is no further obligation on your part. Once you have registered, you find yourself on the overview page of your RPG character. Here you can find important information about your character and also your victim-link, with which you can find victims in the far reaches of the internet by placing the link appropriately. For example, you can send the link to your friends, place it on your homepage or use it as a signature in forums. If an unsuspecting victim clicks on your link, you bite him/her and suck 1-3 litres of blood (as a vampire) or devour 1-3 kilograms of flesh (as a werewolf). Additionally, the same amount of Gold will be credited to your game account. If your victim registers for MonstersGame, you have created a new vampire/werewolf and you receive 25% of the Loot that he/she receives from his/her own victims in the internet! Once the character(s) you have created via your victim link has reached level 3, you receive 50 Gold and 1 Experience Point! You can invest your Gold in training for your character to improve his/her Attributes or you can buy and expand your Hideout to better protect your from attacks by the enemy race.
In addition to the Hunt in the internet, you can also directly attack players of the enemy race and steal their Gold. Your character's Attributes and equipment play a vital role in these attacks, please see "Overview" for more information.
Screenshots
Here you can see all of the vital information for your character, such as how much Loot you have already accumulated, your Attributes and how much Gold you currently have available. You also see detailed statistics about your past battles against the enemy race and can find a list of any Monsters you have already created. Here are a few details about the Attributes of your character:
Messages
You can send other characters of both races messages here and read any messages that have been sent to you. You can also find lists of your recent Battle Reports with the enemy race; Reports from both defensive and offensive Battles are available.
Hideout
You can buy a Hideout here with the Gold you receive from Raids and any internet victims. You can erect a building, wall and path and also change the surroundings. The higher the level of your upgrades, the harder it is for an enemy on the Hunt to find you and the larger the Defense Bonus you receive if you are attacked (both factors only apply if you are at home!).
The Town
The town contains several areas of interest you will need to become familiar with:
The store You can visit the store in the town to buy weapons, armour, rings and various potions to heal your wounds or temporarily improve your character attributes.
Your sentinel Once you reach level 5 you can buy your character the first of the sentinels, the Hound. There are more than 40 different sentinels in all, each of which can be trained to improve its Attack, Defense and Stamina Attributes. Each Sentinel has a specific base value for these three Attributes; to train one of these Attributes, you must pay 1 Gold for the first point, 4 Gold for the second point etc. The more expensive the Sentinel is to buy initially, the higher the base value of its attributes. That is, if the Sentinel has base Attributes of level three, training costs 1 Gold to increase the Attribute to 4 and 4 Gold to increase it to 5. Similarly, for base Attributes of 10, training to 11 also costs 1 Gold and to level 12 costs 4 Gold. If you plan to highly train your Sentinel eventually, it is thus a good idea to always buy the best possible Sentinel, because you will end up saving money later, when each level can easily cost 10000 Gold! You can dismiss your sentinel at any time to buy another sentinel; if you do so, you receive a refund of the entire purchase price but ANY Gold spent on training the Sentinel is lost! The Attributes of your Sentinel are added to your own whenever you fight an enemy, in the same manner that weapons or armour can boost your Attributes. However, the bonus from your Sentinel is shown in a separate section of the Battle Report, whereas weapon or armour bonuses are added directly to your attributes.
Ancestral Site Once your character has reached level 20, you can challenge your ancestors in the ancestral site. If you succeed in defeating the ancestor, you will be able to learn a special ability or further train an existing special ability. Each race has 4 special abilities to choose from. Once you reach level 20 you can learn one special ability, after level 40 you can learn an additional ability and upon reaching level 60 you can again choose a new ability. Level 80 characters can learn all 4 abilities. Ancestors can only be challenged once every 24 hours. Your ancestor will demand a fee for each challenge and the fee increases with each successful challenge. The special abilities affect the results of your battles but only when both combatants are level 20 or above.
These are the four special abilities available to vampires:
Here you can go on Raids, searching the countryside for enemy characters and challenging them to fights! You can either search for a certain by entering his/her name or you can randomly search for enemies. If you win the battle with your enemy, you receive 5-10% of his current supply of Gold. Each player can only be attacked once every 60 minutes and you can only attack the same player once each 12 hours (but he can attack you after one hour!). Players with less than 25 Health Points remaining can neither attack nor be attacked and they cannot go on Manhunts until their Health once again reaches 25 points. Your Health Points never fall below 1 point and as soon as one combatant has less than 10 Health Points during a fight, he/she loses the battle! You can attack other players every 15 minutes (as a Premium player every 5 minutes). You receive 1 Experience Point for each battle against players of the same level (whether you won or lost) or a higher level (if you lost); if you win against players of a higher level, you receive 2 points!
You can also go on Manhunts here, which brings you Loot, Gold and Experience if you are successful. You can go on Manhunts for 1 hour per day (as a Premium player for 2 hours daily). While on a Manhunt, you can't perform any other actions in the game, such as training your character or buying items in The Store.
Clan
Vampires and Werewolves can form clans in MonstersGame (naturally only monsters of the same race can join a clan!). By using the "Clan" link, you can either search for clans seeking members or, once you have reached level 3, you can create your own clan! Once you have joined a clan or created one, you will see new menu items when you click on the "Clan" link. Over these new links (as a clan admin) you can accept new members, give members certain clan authorisations or dismiss members from the clan. You can also expand the clan Domicile; each level added to the clan Domicile increases the number of members the clan can hold by 5 members. To improve the Domicile, you need donations of Gold from the various clan members.
Admin rights In your clan you can now assign various rights to each member to make the clan administration more flexible. You can see the different types of admin rights available on the administration rights page. Be sure to carefully consider the consequences before granting full admin rights or the right to kick clan members!
Clan wars You can now officially declare wars on other clans. Victories and defeats for members of the warring clans are automatically counted until the war has ended.
To declare a war, you search for a clan you would like to attack and choose 1-4 weeks duration for the clan war and then off into battle you go! When you attack a clan for the first time, the enemy clan may not refuse to accept the declaration of war. Once you have waged war with a ceratin clan, that clan must accept any future declarations of by your clan and is allowed to refuse!
Settings
As the name suggests, you can change your game settings by clicking on the "Settings" link. For example, you can add some background information about your character or create a text to be sent to victims once they click on your Victim Link! If you have a Premium account, you can upload an avatar picture for your character and change his/her name as often as you please.
Arena
In the arena you can compete against several other player, including members of your own race. In arena battles only the boni from your weapons, armour rings, items and ancestral fights count. Potions have no effect in the arena!
Premium
The link "Premium" leads you the area where you can buy a Premium account. MonstersGame can in principal be played free of charge, but if you become a Premium Player, the game is free of advertising, you can upload a character avatar, you receive a level-dependent bonus from (200 gold + level * 25 gold) up to (250 gold + level * 50 gold) and can enjoy many other benefits in addition!

You also see detailed statistics about your past battles against the enemy race and can find a list of any Monsters you have already created. Here are a few details about the Attributes of your character:
- Strength
- Strength determines how much damage you do, IF you are able to strike your opponent (If his/her Stamina is high, you will do less damage!)
- Defense
- Defense determines how well you can block or evade enemy attacks (If the enemy has a high Agility level he/she will hit you more often!)
- Agility
- Agility determines how likely you are to strike your opponent (If the enemy's Defense is high, you are less likely to hit him/her!)
- Stamina
- Stamina determines how much damage you sustain IF you are struck by the enemy (If the enemy is very strong he/she does more damage)
- Dexterity
- Dexterity determines how likely you are to find an opponent during the Hunt search and also affects his Defense bonus (if his Hideout is huge and your dexterity is low, you can't find him and he gets a large Defense bonus!)
- Experience
- You receive Experience Points when you fight against characters that have the same or a higher level than you. You get 2 Points if you defeat a character of a higher level and receive 1 point every time you fight enemies of the same level, whether or not you win! When you have amassed enough experience, you absorb some of the enemy's Health Points and are promoted to the next level; your total maximum Health Points increase as a result and you receive a Gold bonus.
- Health Points
- Your current Health Points gives you an idea of what physical condition your character is in, you are always shown the maximum possible and current number of Health Points. You are fully ready to fight when both values are the same. When fighting you usually lose some Health Points. You regain 10 Health Points per hour automatically and can buy Health Potions from The Store to recover points more quickly.
Messages
You can send other characters of both races messages here and read any messages that have been sent to you. You can also find lists of your recent Battle Reports with the enemy race; Reports from both defensive and offensive Battles are available.
Hideout
You can buy a Hideout here with the Gold you receive from Raids and any internet victims. You can erect a building, wall and path and also change the surroundings.

The Town
The town contains several areas of interest you will need to become familiar with:
The store You can visit the store in the town to buy weapons, armour, rings and various potions to heal your wounds or temporarily improve your character attributes.
- Rings:
- There are basically 3 categories of rings: manhunt, battle/gold and rings that improve the basic stats of your character in the battle. Only the best manhunt or battle/gold ring you possess is used to calculate your bonus and only one of each type can ever be carried. Rings that improve your stats during battles are also selected based on the required level; duplicate rings of this type (or any other type) are NOT counted, so buying two of one type of ring will never work. If you want to take advantage of all types of rings, buy the best available battle/gold ring, the best available manhunt ring and the best devil’s ring and defense ring OR the best and second best rings of either skill-enhancing type if you want to specialise in defense or offense alone.
Your sentinel Once you reach level 5 you can buy your character the first of the sentinels, the Hound. There are more than 40 different sentinels in all, each of which can be trained to improve its Attack, Defense and Stamina Attributes.

If you plan to highly train your Sentinel eventually, it is thus a good idea to always buy the best possible Sentinel, because you will end up saving money later, when each level can easily cost 10000 Gold! You can dismiss your sentinel at any time to buy another sentinel; if you do so, you receive a refund of the entire purchase price but ANY Gold spent on training the Sentinel is lost!

Your ancestor will demand a fee for each challenge and the fee increases with each successful challenge. The special abilities affect the results of your battles but only when both combatants are level 20 or above.
These are the four special abilities available to vampires:
The ability blood rage will give your vampire unimaginable strength. (Per level +5 strength)
The ability doppelgänger will enable your vampire to appear in two places at once. (Per level +5 agility)
The ability toughness makes your vampire more resistant to damage. (Per level +5 stamina)
The ability stoneskin makes your vampire more resistant to weapons and increases your defensive abilities. (Per level +5 defense)
These are the four special abilities available to werwolves:
The ability barbaric rage gives your werewolf incredible strength by allowing you to focus your rage on the enemy. (Per level +5 strength)
The abilty reflexes allows your werewolf to move faster than the eye can follow. (Per level +5 agility)
The ability berserker makes your werewolf more resistant to damage. (Per level +5 stamina)
The ability fire makes your werewolf unapproachable and frightens off your enemies. (Per level +5 defense)
