When playing LORD for the first time, you start off by creating a character, either a Mage, a Death Knight or a Thief. Except for special abilities, which serve mainly to add more flavor to the different classes, and the thief's ability to steal gold from the bank, class has no bearing on the game whatsoever. It is also possible to change classes within the game as many times as you wish, and abilities are retained from your previous classes.

After creating your character, you are immediately thrust into a generic town being terrorized by the Red Dragon. Each player has the goal of killing the Red Dragon by advancing to Level 12, and finding him in the forest. In order to gain experience, you must go to the forest to fight monsters, kill a few players or use "other places". Killing the Red Dragon resets your character to Level 1 and all possessions are lost expect for Charm, Horses, Fairies and Children.

Of course, there is a lot more to this game than simply fighting the Red Dragon. LORD contains countless ways for players to interact with one another. Marriage and fighting are two such ways, exploring "other places" is another. Exploring the town introduces the player to its flavorful citizens. Among them is Violet the Barmaid, Seth Able the Bard, the bar tenders, and the masters, who must be defeated in order to gain levels. It is even possible get laid, although nothing too nasty ever happens, as many children play this game.

LORD is not easy or hard per say. There is no real way to truly ''win'' (Actually, that isn't entirely true, but it has almost never been done), but nor is there any way to truly ''lose''. LORD goes on forever, or until the Sysop resets the game and starts from scratch… or if a player actually gets the set number of Heroic Deeds and actually ''wins'' the game.
