The game takes place in a mythical world known as Nevareth, which was destroyed by an evil entity known as the CABAL. Out of the survivors, seven “Masters” rose up, each wielding the abilities of the “Force Power”. These masters taught the people, and Nevareth was rebuilt. Years later, the CABAL is plotting a return to power, and the characters of the game take up the role of heroes who battle the CABAL uprising and conspiracy.

Like many MMORPG’s, gameplay centers around killing monsters, doing quests and venturing into dungeons to obtain experience points (EXP) and “Alz”, the ingame currency (Alz means gold pieces). Players can band together to form a party, with a maximum of 7 characters. Extra “Party Bonus” is obtained by the members of the party, based on their contributions.

Characters exist on servers (Cabal Servers), each with its own unique name (e.g. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune). Players from different servers cannot interact with each other. Characters can be transferred between servers with the use of a cash shop item. In each server, players can create multiple characters (up to 6 per server per account). Every server has 32 channels, some with its own specifics. (e.g. Channel 32 is a War Channel- Players can PK freely through the channel). There are 10 Premium Channels – Special Channels only accessible when the premium is bought (Astral Points). There is a Trade channel (Special for Trading) and a Beginner Channel (For new players). Each server offers the same in-game content, and is split into multiple channels, among which players are allowed to freely switch. There are specific channels for certain activities, like trading and conducting war.
