If I may make a suggestion. You need to upload a video that focuses on the GM ineractions, invasions, storylines and of course the treasure system. To me these are the aspects that make gemstone shine. Oh and of course the real gemstones you can find in game, I have a garnet sitting around somewhere that they sent me after I found it in-game.
I first found gemstone when I was 12 on AOL. I've been playing on and off ever since and am now 28. I like my games. I have a massive collection of 360 games with a 56" TV to watch them on. But I always find myself coming back to gemstone. I catch alot of crap from friends for playing it but i've never had so much fun with a game. Good people, good times.
It has been calculated that if a player spent 8 hours playing a day, every day, it would take a little over three and a half years to reach the maximum level of 100. Compare this to WoW, where a few months play will quickly get you to the maximum.
Firstly, while players can (and do) group together to better slay evil creatures, this is not compulsory nor necessary; a single character, if played wisely, can be self-sufficient.
Characters are several and varied, framed so that the different races and professions essentially need each other for spells, items, services, and other things. This encourages interaction among players, and seems to work well.
As you move from room to room, there are working doors, ladders, tunnels, portals, trapdoors, caves, arches, and various other means of entrance and egress, to lend variety and realism. In addition, many rooms have hidden exits, which you must search for - but find only if your character possesses sufficient skill.
In Gemstone 4, you move through the game by walking through "rooms," which are vividly described as you enter. The descriptions are generally top-notch, showing some real imagination and knowledge on the part of those who design these things.
If you're looking for something that's a little more immersive than the typical MMORPG, can support itself without the need for flashy graphics, and has a long history and established playerbase, than Gemstone is the game for you.
I have played on Gemstone for over 2 years, and am so far showing no signs of becoming bored. I know people on there who feel the same after ten years.
I got laid alot there..so there's that...

With Gemstone, development of the game is ongoing, with a dedicated team of staff and an equally loyal player base.

@Brenden2983 No wonder I've had the same character for over 10 years and have only gotten it to the 14th training!

Secondly, this is a game for those wishing to invest a long time playing, and advancement is steady and lengthy.

Gemstone is one of the first MMORPG's ever created and it is one of the longest running online games still active.
