What is the game about?: Don't Stop is about exploration and discovery. Athena will be taking over as a group goddess of sorts. Your group is tasked with exploring Earth 2 and finding out what makes Athena so suspicious. You will start at level 1 and make your way to level 20 and maybe beyond!

Game Starter

Welcome to Earth 2, where nothing is ever as it seems. Follow in the footsteps of those who came before you, and make a path for those who will come after you. After the death of the FR, you were saved by Athena, her hope is Gone Home will right the wrongs of Gaia, and Never Stop will right the wrongs of those that came before them. Journey to the Forgotten Islands and put the Gems of Old back in place. Become a champion, fight under the gods, and become the first heroes to travel the Megaverse.
