Introduction:
-Arkadia is 2d MMORPG that has been in the making a long time and has finally developed into a full formed game of intrigue and adventure! Let me introduce myself, my name is Henrik, as some of you may know, and I have been involved with the playerworlds/xtremeworlds/elysium/mirage/eclipse as well as RPG creation hobby for many years. I have seen games come and go and have had many countless memories playing everyone's creations. Now as we enter a new era for eclipse and for 2d MMORPG as a hobby I felt it was my time to create a launch my story. I wanted to create something fully polished as so many projects go unfinished and forgotten.
While I do not make games for a living, game design has long been one of my favorite hobbies and I have spent many hours creating the wonderful world that is Arkadia! Thank you for taking the time to read this thread and I hope to see you in game soon! (This game was made as an education project so that I could learn about game design in a hands on manner. I do not claim to own any of the assets used while leaning with this project. This project is free to access and does not accept donations.)

Screenshots:
The above screenshot is of an area of mountains and valleys located in southern Arkadia. The game has over 200 maps all delicately detailed for 2d realism and good playability. Unlike most Eclipse games Arkadia is a fully polished complete game.
The world of Arkadia has a rich main storyline full of interesting characters and memorable journeys.
We host weekly game nights on Sundays, as well as have a game calendar on the website with server events! The way in which the
players complete the sever events progresses the storyline and creation of new areas!
Modded GUI and other polished details such as rare spawns and secret zones.
Thousands of items to collect and hundreds of spells to cast with neat and useful guides posted on the website.
The Story Unfolds...
"They say that every age has it's heroes. No matter the galaxy or date there always seems to be a select few that muster up the courage to brave the evils that exist out there. For it is true that in every age heroes exists, it is also true that darkness lies in every age as well."
"This is the 3rd Age of the Land of Arkadia. King Darius the 2nd rules over the throne in the grand city of Southsa and has a glorious vision of trying to reunite the world in peace and harmony. The same mission taken on by his forefather in the last age.Arkadia is a prosperous world. Overflowing with bounty and green grass and trees where ever most would turn. Like most worlds of adventure it has it's share of monsters but for as long as anyone can remember the world seemed to have been going on the right path, everything seemed to be in place."
"Darkness has a way of wanting to forge it's own path."
"On the horizon a dark threat brews."
"Heroes awaken in the realm of Arkadia to learn of a strange fate plaguing the world."
What adventures await you?
There is only one way to find one...
The Heroes of Arkadia
In Arkadia there are 5 base classes of magic. These five magics are derived from different natural powers of the world.
You will start the game with no class but at Level 10. you will have the opportunity to take on your own class of magic.
At Level 100: Firebloods may choose between 2 different classes.
At Level 100: Waterbloods may choose between 2 different classes.
At Level 100: Windbloods may choose between 2 different classes.
At Level 100: Earthbloods may choose between 2 different classes.
At Level 100: Voidbloods may choose between 2 different classes.
In addition to these five classes of magic there are other magics such as common magic, elvish magic, ancient magic,
and ultimate magic, which are able to be learned by any of the 5 base classes. These additional magics
help you customize your character in just the manner you would like.
