Eligium: The Chosen One is a free to play 3D(can also be switched to 2.5D or to 2.8D) fantasy MMORPG. It is developed by two companies, first one is Chinese MMO company Shanda Games and the second one is Goldcool. The game is published by Frogster.

Eligium combines a game depth which is unusual even for an MMO with an opulent range of features. This allows players to customise their journey through the game to suit their own preferences. Through their character, they experience their own complex, multifaceted adventure MMO, leaving nothing to be desired.

Players battle mighty opponents and complete innumerable diverse and exciting quests. As they accomplish these tasks, players experience the personal development of their character as well as communicative and strategic exchanges with other players.

The players' preferred gaming style and their desires take absolute precedence in Eligium in a way different to any other game. Players select a specialisation for their character in order to discover, learn and experience fascinating skills. In Eligium, as opposed to conventional MMOs, players have absolute freedom to try things out. They can, for example, reset their choice of specialisation and forge a new path. If a player has become particularly fond of a certain skill or weapon, they can take advantage of Eligium's revolutionary skill enhancement and weapon improvement systems.

Unlike other MMOs, Eligium does not rely on points which are gained through levelling up, or by killing monsters and completing quests, and then distributed inflexibly amongst the individual skills. Instead, the player's preferences are the basis for improvement: whenever the player uses a skill or weapon, they train it -- and the weapon or skill gets stronger.

Eligium offers an unusually fast and pleasant levelling-up system. In order to increase their level, players must earn experience points (XP). Experience points are primarily gained through completing quests but can also be won in combat against monsters. Every action relating to levelling up is integrated into the game's plot. Additional combat, so-called grinding, is therefore unnecessary. Players who wish to level up faster can additionally complete daily quests, which offer an additional source of the experience points required in order to level up.

There are five Classes and four Races available at the time:
1.Hunter / Race: Elves
- Whether from the forests or from the city, Elves are artful Hunters, which makes them the unrivalled champions of long-range combat. They attack from a distance using the skills learned in their youth: precision archery and the cunning use of traps.

2.Druid / Race: Viridis
- The Druids are one of the most versatile classes of Galgaron, they are the masters of the body, life and death. They are wild beasts, masters of nature, and gentle healers.

3.Warrior / Race: Humans
- Armed with the best in modern weaponry, warriors face their challenges head-on -- and fearlessly charge at every opponent they come across.

4.Mage / Race: Humans
- Mages gather knowledge about the elements in order to utilise them in battle. These mighty commanders of fire and ice make impressive opponents and valuable allies.

5.Monk / Race: Pandas
- In the monasteries and temples of their homeland, the pandas dedicate themselves to studying the flow of chi. As monks, they learn to channel the power of this life force -- and to utilise it in combat, both short-range and from a distance...

Mount System:
- Players get to raise their own mounts and battle pets from an egg to a strong, fully grown creature. Several species of mounts are currently known to Galgaron's proud defenders, of which the following are but a selection. The Windsnatchers and Razorclaws are fleet of foot with razor-sharp beaks and claws. They were tamed cautiously over long periods of time in order to evolve a swift mount capable of delivering warriors into the thick of battle. Whether captured and tamed or raised by hand, Shimmerons are powerful hunters occasionally glimpsed in the darkest forests of Galgaron. Mixing natural feline grace and awe-inspiring musculature, they charge their enemies on the battlefield with relentless ferocity. Nightmares are often mistaken for simple warhorses at a distance, but the unmistakable stench of brimstone and their flaming hooves reveal the true nature of these fearsome mounts.

PvP System (Currently unavailable but work in progress):
- There will be PvP battlefields with various modes, on which players can find out how they compare to one another. Those who would enjoy not only one-on-one PvP action, but also guild-versus-guild or even faction-versus-faction, can look forward to guild and faction battlefields for up to 200 participants per side.
