Empirical Wikia

Welcome to the Empirical Wikia
The year is 2049. After the failure of cold fusion, the world has fallen into a dystopian state. Around most of the planet technological and social progress has halted. Seeking escapism, Virtual Reality allows the population to live out the grandeur of ages past. From this discontent, one game has risen to dominate the world: Empirical.

The year is 1782, in an alternative version of Europe, millions of players lead armies and navies into battle. They navigate the world of court politics and trade. All in service of their chosen faction. The goal? To lead a better life than 'in real life'. To "Conquer History!"

Introduction to Empirical
Empirical is a speculative look at the future of VRMMORPG technology, and explores many concepts of internet and historic culture shifted into a near future setting. It can be used as a backdrop for short stories, roleplaying games or worldbuilding. Core themes include the parallel lives of players both in and out of game, military strategy, innovation and the darker side of virtual reality. With most nations and organisations being wholly player led, users are free to make the world as they see fit, as politics and infamy spread from the game world to reality.
