GemStone IV is a multiplayer text-based online role-playing video game (often known as a MUD) produced by Simutronics. Players control characters in a high fantasy game world named "Elanthia".[1] The first playable version of the game was known as GemStone ][[2] and was launched in April 1988 on GEnie.[3] It was one of the first MMORPGs and is one of the longest running online games still active.[4] Access to the game is subscription-based (monthly fee) through its website, with three additional subscriptions levels available, "Premium", "Platinum" and "Shattered", in addition to a free-to-play model introduced in early March 2015.
