Outwar is a free online role-playing game which gives people the chance to create a character (a monster, gangster or popstar) and then gain power (usually by getting other people to visit a secret link ). This used to be the old method of gaining experience point . Today, most of experience gaining comes from item attachments to the character (ie. Elemental Set(s),God Items etc.) in order to become stronger. Once a character has power, it earns a specific amount of money per turn (60 minutes) depending on the number of item attachments that give the character an increase in income. Money can then be used to purchase weapons, armor, or special skills (extra power), thereby increasing the player s strength. With the equipment, their chance to succeed when attacking other characters increases.

Players can also start a crew - i.e. a group. Crews have a rank system with the leader at the top and new members usually at the bottom. Crews provide the player with protection since they can aid in attacks and provide raids (attacking enemies as a group). Using their crew they will be able to beat different mobs that drop items in order to complete sets or gain gods .

== Anti-Outwar == Outwar s secret link phenomenon has gained it a very bad reputation. Players of Outwar will oftentimes go to forums and try to trick people into clicking their secret link. Some forums, including those of Winamp.com, have made Outwar into a banned word, so that people would not be able to link to it.

To overcome this, users will often create a page which redirects to their Outwar page. It is also commonly seen in AIM chat rooms by bots, posing as links to pornography. Due to this, it is common procedure to use a Microsoft Windows HOSTS file to block the website, in order to prevent the player from gaining any clicks.

On the Outwar site they provide examples of how to trick people into viewing an Outwar website, such as, a Meta Refresh tag in HTML and entering a link in a instant messenger chat and making it look like it is a different website.
