Accordingly, a group of colonists had settled on the planet of Natha on the untamed continent of Taryn, the primary setting of the game. Most items in the game can be bought for a time-limit or, for a higher price, a level of durability. Durability is based on the time that a player spends in game, whereas time-limit is based on the length of time after an item is purchased, regardless of whether or not a player actively plays the game. Standard-class lingers in the middle.
