Where Did The Prophets' Song, Staxx, Lambe, and Curse of Backdraft Go?

Wait — Staxx and Lambe Were Servers, Not Separate Games

This confuses a lot of returning players, so let's clear it up first.

The Prophets' Song (TPS) was the game. It ran multiple servers:

• Stax (often spelled "Staxx" by players)
• Lambe
• Dro

Each server had its own world, factions, and community — which is why many players remember "Staxx" or "Lambe" as if they were standalone games. They weren't. They were all part of TPS.

So if you're searching for "Staxx game" or "Lambe browser RPG" — you're actually looking for The Prophets' Song.

The Full History: TPS → Curse of Backdraft → Agonia

The Prophets' Song (TPS) — The Original

TPS was a free, browser-based text MMORPG set in a world that existed within a dragon's dream. The lore said that a dragon named Backdraft defeated six other dragons in an epic battle, cursing them into eternal sleep. The game world was the dream of one of those sleeping dragons.

What made TPS special:

• Turn-based gameplay — you could play casually or grind hard
• Full PvP — attack, kill, loot. No safe zones.
• 10 playable races — each with unique abilities and lore
• Deep faction warfare — server-wide conflicts between Light and Dark
• Crafting and economy — forging, alchemy, tailoring, and more
• Guilds with territory control — groups could own towns
• Pen-and-paper RPG feel — the creator actively recruited AD&D players

The community was tight. Players spent years on their characters. Forum roleplay and guild politics were as important as the combat itself.

Then, sometime around 2010-2011, TPS shut down.

Curse of Backdraft (TPS2) — The Revival Attempt

The original creator relaunched the game as Curse of Backdraft, sometimes called "TPS2" by veterans. It kept the same core DNA:

• Medieval fantasy setting (Tolkien-style)
• Turn-based, browser-based gameplay
• Four factions (including Undead)
• Four classes: Mage, Priest, Barbarian, Paladin
• Full PvP with offline vulnerability

Many TPS veterans migrated over. The community rebuilt. But eventually, Curse of Backdraft also went offline.

Agonia Lands — The Current Home (2019–Present)

Agonia is where the community landed. Built by developers who understood what made TPS and CoB work, it's a modernized version of the same formula:

What veterans say:

"Long time player of this game and its predecessor since early 2000's. Not much has changed over 20 years but the launch of Agonia and the inherent updates have improved many facets."

"This game is the most fun text-based RPG I've played in years. It is actually a sequel to a previous game that's been running for over 17 years so the devs know what they are doing."

"Been playing from the start and its predecessor... Great community both in game and on Discord. Even your 'enemies' will give advice and often some help!"

The key difference: the community is already there. You're not starting fresh with strangers — you're rejoining people who've been playing this style of game for 15-20 years.

What If I Never Played TPS? Should I Still Try Agonia?

Yes. Here's why:

1. No learning curve hell — the game rewards strategic thinking, not reflexes or wallet size
2. Play at your own pace — it's turn-based, so you can check in for 10 minutes or play for hours
3. Veteran community — players actually help newbies because they want the game to thrive
4. New player boosts — recent updates help newcomers catch up without years of grinding
5. No ads, no P2W — it's a passion project, not a cash grab

If you enjoy text-based RPGs, sandbox MMOs, or games where player politics matter as much as stats — Agonia is one of the best options available.
