abstract
| - The World of Torr is a persistent world intended to appeal to a large audience for a lengthy period of time. The approach used is to provide a sandbox realm with many different opportunities for players to choose from, and to not force a specific kind of gaming style (such as roleplaying). It has been inducted to the Neverwinter Vault's gameworld hall of fame. The gameworld, since its conception, has gone through many phases in development and transformed the way many think about persistent worlds in relation to MMORPGS (massively multiplayer online role-playing games). It went from beta testing to release in December 2004 and has received updates ever since. The codebase for the project has been released for public review and editing and, as of March 2008, is available through the original World of Torr website. The original server, hosted by DrDread, was shut down in 2009, but it was replaced by a server hosted by other members of the Torr community. The World of Torr requires both expansion packs, patched to version 1.69.
