History of Charmed
Charmed (Jayhawk/Hawkbane): Started 24 December 2004
The first ever Charmed game to hit Byond was made by the creator of Charmed, Jayhawk. Although he was originally known as Hawkbane. The game has been online for 2 or 3 years untill it was finally ended, life got to busy for the creator Jay. This game had 3 stages.
Charmed Online (Xoule): Started 02 March 2006
The second Charmed game to hit byond, just like the first, it was an original game and proved to be a great succes and loved by many players. This game has several official and un-official sequals.
Charmed: Role Play (SyncWolf): April 2006
This was the first sequal to Jayhawks Charmed game, created out of the Source code of the first stage of Charmed, this code is still around on byond somewhere. Although the game never lived up to the original, it took a different turn by adding in ranks and player owned houses. It also introduced roleplaying into the game. It was later continued under a new name and hub by a new large update.
Charmed: Rebirth of Magic (SyncWolf): June 2006.
Rebirth was the official sequal to Jayhawks Charmed and Charmed Role Play, bringing the teacher system to life, based upon the system in Jay's Charmed stage 3. Rebirth has been around ever since, having it's ups and downs like most games, although maybe a bit to extreme at some points. Somewhere in 2007 a version got leaked out and is now base for many Charmed games for inexperienced coders.
Charmed: A New Destiny Awakens (Souhyb32): October 2007
This was one of the more popular Charmed games made by the leaked source code of SyncWolf's Charmed: Rebirth of Magic. Charmed: A New Destiny Awakens adds an interesting and fresh spin to the Charmed World. Although it doesnt get updated as often as it could be, this game seems to mostly focus on the races and ranks of the Charmed universe. Allowing players to choose whether or not to play in PvP style or by Strict RP rules.
Charmed: Destiny (Mel23jones): October 2008
This game, although not original as it states in the hub, is by far the closest to an original game in a long time. Although still under development, this game offers a unique experience that allows players to go through a very limited world, giving them more time to explore there own personal powers.Slowly growing in popularity, this game seems to be taking off.
Charmed Online (Kryptic Envy): April 2009
This game was created from one of the leaked versions of Xoules Charmed Online games. Although an unoffical recreation, this game offers the full Role Playing experience, with unique battle systems with fun and interesting abilities added to the mix, making this game close to if not as good as the original.
Of course there were many other Charmed games made and published on BYOND that have not been mentioned on here. This is because the other games publised on BYOND have either been very under developed and did not make it past the creation proccess/testing, or the games were straight up rips of the original with blatent apathy towards the views of the players as well as the views of the owner of the original game and as such the do not deserve to get credit for there work.
