Hello Marosians, we are rolling out an update to rule 6 to illustrate a change in our policy regarding generative AI for in-game images. Moving forward, the use AI art will no longer be permitted in Marosia.
We understand this may be an inconvenient shift for players who currently make use of generative AI. This decision comes following a long discussion held by both players and staff members alike, and after careful consideration of our creative community and moderation capabilities, staff has come to the decision that restricting the use of AI images in-game better aligns with our stance on supporting artists.
Players who are using AI images will have until June 30th, 2025 to change or remove their character images with no risk of warnings made against their account. Starting July 1st, the moderation team will begin resetting these images and alerting players, and we will accept reports bringing AI usage to our attention. Remember, the use of avatar makers - such as Picrew, Hero Forge, Doll Divine, and similar sites - is still more than welcome, and we ask that players adequately credit the sites and artists that they make use of via our image crediting feature. Crediting the source of the images you use will now be required in order to upload an image.
If you have any questions, please feel free to submit a report or join our Discord via the Entry server as we have a growing compilation of free art resources, as well as dedicated help threads for any questions you may have.
These are the improvements done since our last patch notes in December!

Thank you so much for the hard work! Some of these fixes might cause issues mostly with containers and keys and locks, so do put in a report if something isn't working as intended!
Cheers!
And as they did, here go the Hot Fixes!

- Those animals you're standing right in front of can be tamed again!
- Mind links are working again!
- Fae regained shifting rights!
- People can be converted again, yay!

- The option to move containers outside no longer shows up while in interior rooms.
- The Action button on buildings will no longer appear without a battering ram in the area (or fire magic).
Thank you!
Hello Marosians,
We're aware that the Wiki is currently out of date, and that several of you have shown an interest in helping getting it back up to scratch. Currently, we're looking at updating it entirely from the ground up with a new Wiki, so if you are interested in helping us get this underway, please feel free to send Strom (harrowstrom on discord) a DM expressing interest - or drop a report once Lockdown is over!
Thank you!
The Marosia Team
Hello, Marosians!
We're looking for at least 3 players to play a few beastly, non-sapient staff chars! They have a very specific shape and task in a specific part of the world, and we could use extra hands to play them!
Please submit a report if you're interested and we'll let you know more then, as long as you don't have a character in the area. These won't count against your character limit, since they'll be more like staff chars. You'll also be asked to join the staff discord!
These applications will be open through to June 30th!
Cheers!
The Lore Team
Thankfully, the game is able to come back as scheduled, and you'll likely notice a new feature available called intuition! You can find it when viewing both your own character from the Actions menu, and other characters from the People menu. This feature will allow you to set roleplay preferences across your characters and allow you to view the preferences of others.
If you have any questions, feedback, or suggestions, please feel free to put in a report or join the Discord to participate in the discussions.
Remember, this is a new feature, and it is likely we will need to work through some kinks. Please be patient while we do this!
And a huge thank you to our developers, admins, and other helpers behind the scenes who volunteer their time to bring us new things - and to all of you for the energy you put into the game and your characters!
Hi all - we have tried implementing some new features over lockdown but there are currently some significant bugs. This is your heads up that we may end up having to extend the lockdown. Very sorry for any disappointment.
The Privacy Policy has been updated to clarify how we handle personal information in accordance with GDPR.
The main changes include:
- A more detailed explanation of what data we collect.
- Clearer information on how long we retain this data.
- Improved transparency regarding the deletion of your data and your rights regarding your data.
This update does not change how your data is treated, it merely serves to make our current practices clearer and easier to understand. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out either on Discord or by email.
Hello, marosians! Most of you have noticed that many golems and fae have received a special blue event last week before lockdown. Well, due to in-game events, the fertility of both golems and fae have been tampered with: golems will now be able to have up to 3 children per pregnancy, and fae now also have a maximum of 3 children per pregnancy!
You'll also notice we have now added a line to all racial guidelines on the maximum amount of children each race can have at a time - so the information is now available in-game.
Cheers

The free immersive roleplay experience.
Marosia is a free text-based browser roleplaying game for adults. Its long-term nature means the stories you write with other players can be remembered for generations to come.
You can create and design your character to engage with an immersive open world in a fantasy setting, and contribute to a continuous, community-written story. Everyone you interact with is played by another player, and everything you see has been made by someone else.
Pick from a selection of starting races to write your story in a sandbox environment. You can play a folk policing the forest to keep travelers safe, a lone rock giant trundling through the vast grasslands, a kobold cultist living deep within the dangerous swamps, a life-loving fae that holds seasonal festivals to their goddess, a hot-headed daemon on the hunt for their next conquest - and so much more. Once your character forms within a town, your imagination is the limit, and Marosia provides you with the tools to play out their story in a multiplayer environment. Game mechanics allow your character to improve their skills over time, gather resources, and create items using the built-in crafting menu. Marosia supports artists and writers and allows players to be as creative as they want.
The world runs in real-time, with your character typically living approximately 18 months. Throughout that time they can make friends and enemies, fall in love and have a family, rise to become a leader of their city, encounter gods and beasts, explore the land in a map which would take 20 days to walk across, make mistakes or triumph - and all while creating a unique story in a world full of the impossible. You will encounter hermits and townsmen, priests and heathens, warlords and warriors, kings and thieves - and they all would have started where your character did: at the beginning. It is up to you to discover where your character fits in. What are you waiting for?
