Legends of Aria is the first game that legitimately allows you to run and moderate your own game worlds with the potential to support thousands of users at one time. These servers, when marked public, are listed in-game for all players to see and join. Players will be able to form massive servers by connecting their self-hosted worlds together using a ‘cluster server’ hosted by Citadel Studios. When you purchase the game, you will be able to play on official or player run servers and run a single ‘shard’ with no additional cost or subscription fees. We are initially targeting the PC platform, and plans for a Mac and Linux launch are in the works.
Our current plans include one with a well-balanced set of gameplay, a hardcore PvP battle-royale, and even one featuring permanent character death: the ultimate game of risk versus reward. The game will launch with a complete game containing several official rule-sets. Instead, we are returning to living virtual worlds where stories emerge naturally as players explore the worlds laid out before them.
Legends of Aria is breaking away from the modern MMO conventions of levels, classes and quest grinds.
