Trion World Network has released details Heroes of Telara, it's first title, at E3. According to the game's official Web site, which just launched today, the world of Telara "teeters on the edge of darkness" following centuries of conflict. Four rival factions are fighting for control, and only the brave citizens of the city of Port Scion can restore peace.

According to a press release, the game boasts a "unique class system that allows the players to play every character class in the game and choose a class specialty, or 'subclass,' the hero will be well equipped to overcome these challenges." The combat system is apparently easy to learn, which is good because you'll be fighting hordes of enemies in the "one vs. many" battles. Also, players will be able to "train in every profession and engage in any crafting activity," as well as join a faction in an attempt to control territories.
