Impressive Title
Impressive Title, or, as often referred to as IT, is a MMOSG/MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Social Game/ Roleplaying Game) or (MMORPG) by KovuLKD, set in a world for feline creatures. Players are allowed to play any species they want, though they must use feline meshes as these are the only ones available.
Gameplay
Starting a character or a play session
-Players control the "character" (Avatar [virtual reality] avatar) in the game world, either in "Third person" view, "First person" view, or even with a "Third Person View" that acts more of a free-view Camera, moving around even when your Character doesn't. The player explores the different worlds, hunts prey, and can interact with other members. Unlike most MMO's, this game is 100% free to play. No subscription is required to join the game.
-Creating a new character is simple at this stage of development, as the game is fairly new, so there are no factions to choose from. It has no storyline, dubbing it as a free-Style Graphic Chat Room. Members have a choice of six different head types, countless markings, different manes, and different tails. Some manes are limited to certain head types.
-Once an account is created in-game, the player can make countless characters on that account. The member, once inside the game's world, has the choice to switch to different "dimensions" (dims), which act as servers. However, members can private message (pm) each other over these types of servers, unlike most MMO's.
-As of the release of version 0.7 June 2009, players can now hunt for prey, with a certain percent chance of the prey dropping items that vary greatly, from fangs and claws, to candy canes and spiked collars. Later on, pets were added, letting players have to power to tame prey. Pets will follow the character around and help in hunting.[1]

Local Chat - It brings what you say into a chat bubble above your head. Best used for Out of Character chat.
Party Chat - This is a unique chat. Where no matter what map or dimension you still can see what members of your party are saying. First, you need to get a party. Or else you will be talking to yourself.
Click on a friend, click Invite Party. If they are in a party already - then in the Party chat it will state as so, if not it will say if they have accepted or declined joining. You have a "P" button that list all members in the party there. That is also where you can leave the party. (Logging out and timing out does d/c from the party). Once you have members in your party, you can chat among yourselves without anyone else seeing what you type - besides your party members! No need to PM them either. Simply type to them in the Party Chat, and as said no matter the dimension or map - they can hear you!

Development
Impressive Title became the need-to-play game after it was announced on The Lion King Fan Art Archive for the first time in 2008. Ever since its release the game has been slowly growing (The forum itself currently has 7,692 registered members), and the Developers and KovuLKD are constantly releasing updates for the independent game.
When Impressive Title was first released, it was a simple single-level adventure game for one of KovuLKD's best friends, but soon I.T. had turned into a Multi-Player game for all to join. Players can now even create their own 'Campaigns' using their own characters through coding.
Player Made Maps
Players can make their own maps by using tutorials posted on the game's forum, giving members the freedom to share ideas of worlds and Role Playing in them. Members are also allowed to submit meshes and 3-D objects such as prey animals to add to maps by using Blender Converting tools.
Presets
Presets in this game are seen as custom-made skins for an individual character created by an individual user, usually created using Photoshop, GIMP or OpenCanvas. It would then be put into the system by the game's creator and once a user started the game via the updater that is provided, the preset would then be seen in game.
Note: Presets are not being added to the game at this moment, as KovuLKD and Razmirz are trying to automate the submission process.
Rules
As time went on, and the game had changed from single player to MMO, rules had to be set for the growing popularity and member numbers.
In Game Rules
Do not attempt to impersonate a moderator or administrator in the game or on the forums.
Harassing and/or threatening other players is not permitted.
Any sexually, threatening, hurtful, harmful, abusive, hateful, and ethnically offensive language is prohibited.
If a staff member has requested that one cease their actions or change their behavior, they are to do it.
Do not repeatedly ask for aid in something regarding the forums or the game.
Be polite to everyone, no matter what their age or gender or views.
If there is a problem, do not turn around and start to attack said person. Instead, take screenshots of the image, and report them to us.
Do not create characters with lewd names. We will know, and we will delete the character.
Do not pretend to be a mod or an admin.
Debates
Lion King?
There has been plenty of Criticism of this game being based on Disney's The Lion King. KovuLKD has denied any association between the game and The Lion King, and prevents any public maps/worlds based on the Lion Kings universe, like Pride Lands, The Out Lands, and Elephant Grave Yard. However, anyone is allowed to make an account, and Role Play as a Lion King character.
Security issues
Before the release of version 0.4, players could access the games coding. This caused major issues in the game such as:
Account Hacking
Preset stealing
"Huge" and "Tiny" characters.
Ever since these incidents, from version 5 and up, a server was made to hold player information, although there has been report of players still getting their accounts hacked, or these "ghost" versions of themselves walking around {these may just be Glitches.} In June(?) 2009, a hacker attempted to infiltrate the servers, prompting a temporary shut down of Impressive Title. When the game went back online, Razmirz decided to close off access to his servers from any other members except for KovuLKD.
